Send email through Rise 360
Hi Rik
I'm glad you were able to get your email sorted out. This may not be relevant to your question - but it might provide food for thought. Personally, I don't like the mailto: construction because you are dependent on the user's local client mail server - and, in our company, we don't have client mail servers on any devices (we figure cloud computing means computing in the cloud - we send and receive email in the cloud - NEVER from a local device) - but that's a whole other discussion. :).
For Storyline users I published an article here some time ago about using an intermediary service to send email from Storyine:
We certainly have done a number of projects now where we collect the users notes from text entry throughout the course and then, at the end of the course, we create a pdf handout containing the users notes (as well as other things) and then we send it to the learner's email address automatically using JavaScript and an intermediary service. But that is in Storyline. (PS You can have attachments to your email using this method.)
I think it could be done in RISE using local browser memory and a Storyline block at the end - but I haven't tried it.

Thanks, John. You raise interesting points. I'll check our policies before publishing.
