Tracking System in Rise

Hey all -

We've had the same need as many in this thread - needing to track how many people access and complete our Rise course via the weblink.  Outside of an LMS, there is no way to track this with how it's designed...BUT...we've hacked a way to do so.

Before you first deliver your link to the user, take the URL that accesses the course, and create a BIT.LY link for it.  Then, send that bitly url to the user.  You'll be able to track how many people click and access the course. 

Then for any links inside of the course that lead to external sources, you can BIT.LY those as well, and track that.  For any videos, don't upload them natively into Rise.  Instead, upload them as unlisted videos onto YouTube, and you can track views on there. 

At the end of our courses, we have a final link that the user has to click to indicate that they've finished the course.  It's a BIT.LY link, so we can track how many users finished vs how many started. 

Granted - it's all macro data, you can't see which users completed what and how far, so it doesn't work for CEUs or certification type training, but it's better than nothing at least for reporting.
