Rise: insert link that opens in a new tab
Hello,
I too cannot open links into a new browser when I create a course, the user then loses access to the course. In other programs I design in I am asked to select the option to open in a new browser. Is this something you can add to RISE360? :)
Thank you
Hello Lyneece,
Thanks for reaching out!
Just to clarify, are you seeing your course open links in a new browser versus a new tab? If yes, I'd like to ask a few questions to clarify your experience:
- Is your course hosted on an LMS? If it is, have you tried testing in a different LMS like SCORM Cloud to see if the new browser behavior can only be observed when your course is hosted on your LMS?
- Can you replicate the behavior if you publish your course to Review 360?
I'd also recommend checking out the solution posted by my colleague Kelly. The browser typically determines how links are opened so making this change in the settings might help change the behavior to your preferred action.
Hey y'all, just chiming in to say we're experiencing a similar issue. The instructions for the browser settings adjustment don't resolve the problem because it's not a designer issue, it's a learner issue, and we are rarely in a position to send instructions to our learner audiences on how to set up their browsers to accommodate our courses. Would be super cool if we had a way to customize those hyperlinks so we could better ensure the same behavior across all browsers and users. It's been a while, but I know at one point you could do it with HTML; I don't know if that's still true.
Hi HollyK_C1!
Thanks for the feedback!
I just wanted to share that we're currently tracking a feature request to enhance the handling of linked content in Rise 360. This feature would allow authors to choose how hyperlinks behave when a learner clicks them.
I'll include your voice in the request! We'll be sure to notify you if this enhancement makes it to our Feature Roadmap.
That's great! Thank you for the update! :)
