Storyline Block- please finish watching video before continue
Hi,
The combo of Storyline block and Continue button is a great way to control progress. However, if I use the SL block as video container with no interactivity control I cannot make viewer watch the whole video before continue.
Is there a known solution to this? (the only reason I am using a SL container is for the captioning)
Hello, Uyanga!
If you want to avoid using a Storyline block altogether, you could simply upload all 6 videos to the Rise lesson using multimedia video blocks. You can disable forward seeking on each video, and add a conditional continue button below each video to ensure the learner watches the entire video before moving on to the next one.
If you want to use a Storyline block, you can disable the next button on each slide until the video completes. Then, on the final video slide, add the trigger Sam recommended above:
Action: Complete course
Status: Complete/passed
When: Media completes
Object: [Your video object]
Then all you have to do is check when publishing the file that under Properties, and next to Tracking, you have Complete course trigger selected.
Hi Sarah!
How did you add the video to your Rise 360 lesson? Did you upload a video from your hard drive to a video block? If so, you can disable forward seeking when you don't want learners to skip ahead.
Let me know if that's what you had in mind!
Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible make audiences watch to the end of a video before they're given the option to continue in Rise 360?
I built a course using Rise 360 only and there doesn't appear to be a way to export this to Storyline to add this functionality.If your Storyline block is a single slide it's considered 'viewed' as soon as it starts, not when the video finishes.
The easiest way around this is to add a Trigger to your video like the following:
Action: Complete course
Status: Complete/passed
When: Media completes
Object: [Your video object]
Then all you have to do is check when publishing the file that under Properties, and next to Tracking, you have Complete course trigger selected.
this method is very useful for 1 video in 1 slide. how about 6 videos? I want to make sure audiences watch the each video completely. how do I make sure this?
I have exactly the same problem. Even though I configure the Continue button to be inactive until the previous block is completed, it opens up the Continue button right from the start of the video.
I created a blank slide after my video/interactive slide. When the user selected the "correct" answer, it went to the next blank slide where I added a "Course Complete" action when the timeline started on that blank slide. In Rise, the Storyline block played with the Rise Continue button set to "Complete Block Directly Above". It stayed that way until the Storyline block was complete and that last frame activated the Course Complete, which, in turn, changed the Continue divider to "Continue". My Storyline block did NOT go blank, but continued to show my interactive video slide.
Hi Dong,
I'm trying to envision how you've set up your file, and how you plan to use it in Rise. To get a clearer picture, would you mind sharing your file with me?
If you would rather keep it private, you can share it here.
Hi Dong,
Thanks for clarifying. It sounds like you've got a Storyline file with multiple slides, and a video on the first slide. You want the Rise Continue button to remain disabled until the learner reaches the final Storyline slide, is that correct?
Would you mind sharing your Storyline file with me? I'd be happy to create a quick video tutorial for you on how you can require learners to complete all slides in the Storyline block before clicking the Continue button.
Sorry about the confusion. I only use SL for its embedded captioning. If Rise can do this I won’t need a SL block.
So my block is a simple video container. But I have many such videos and I put all of them in one SL project for easy management. I then export them as individual blocks.
There is no interaction intended. I simply want people to finish watching the video before they proceed to the next lesson.Best,
Dong
Hi Dong!
You can require learners to view all of the content or video in a Storyline block before they can click the Continue button in Rise. Check out this article to find out how!
The article doesn’t apply as I am putting all my sides in one project and export single slide as SL block.
Under this circumstance only tracking "number of slides viewed" is available and I have to set it to 1.
If the video is set to play upon click, then once you click, the continue button will appear.
And this option is giving me trouble so I switch back to automatically play video.Hope this explains my situation. I do believe this is a common problem.
Best,
Dong
