Storyline element linking to a Rise chapter
Hello Iris and Felix,
If you're planning on hyperlinking to a specific section in a Rise 360 course, you'll need to upload your Rise 360 course to a webserver instead of an LMS. Uploading to an LMS masks the actual URL of the Rise 360 course, while uploading to a webserver exposes the URL that you'll need to copy to directly hyperlink to a specific section which is what we want in this case.
Basically, the very first step is to have your Rise 360 course uploaded to a webserver, or you can use the share link generated in Rise 360. You'll notice that the URL of your course will change depending on which section you're currently viewing if you are viewing the course on a webserver or via a share link. Simply copy the link that appears on your browser while you are viewing the section that you want to hyperlink to and use this link in Storyline 360.
Feel free to share screenshots of how you configured your links here if you're willing so we can review how they're setup together!
Aaaah, that makes sense 😀.Now even I understand... Thank you. It is a bit tricky but I will try that.
(...) I have actually just tried that and I do see the URL changing as I navigate through the course.
Being me, I have a question 🤔: This link (the Rise360 share link) is working like an external link, isn't it? So if I open that from within our LMS, it would open a new tab (our default setting).
Anyway, It's a great trick, thanks. What I would love to have though is a link within the same course, even within an LMS. You can do this with buttons (see screenshot), so it can be done. If that was possible with text-links or links behind pictures, that would be great.
Thank you very much anyway for detailing this. I am sure it can come in handy some time.
