URL to individual lesson in RISE course

Is it possible to identify the URLs for each lesson within a RISE course during its development? I'd like to use HTML coding in a customized block but the coding requires the URL to the individual lesson.  

  • Hi DebClemons​,

    Great to see that the community has been helping you.

    It sounds like you're looking for a native Rise 360 Block that allows learners to select their role, audience type, or learning path and then be automatically directed to author-defined lessons within a course. I noticed that you've also submitted this feature request privately to our team.

    At this time, Rise 360 does not offer a built-in feature that supports this type of learner-selected pathing and automatic lesson routing. While similar designs can be achieved using existing branching techniques, we understand that those approaches can be more complex to build and maintain.

    I've shared your request directly with our product team so we can notify you if we release a future enhancement that helps!

    I guess this depends what you want to use it for. The lesson URL when your building in rise won’t be the same URL when you publish to a LMS/web. What will stay the same is the lesson ID. If you export the course to web you can get the lesson ID from the code. Look for: index.html#/lessons/<lessonId> to find each lesson ID. Even then, I’ve never tried it, but if you’re planning to use it to skip to another lesson I very much doubt it will work. As far as I’m aware the only code that is allowed to post to the parent window is the post completion snippet, window.parent.postMessage({ type: 'complete' }, '*'), that is used with the continue button.

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, my hope was to use it for pathing needs that would take 1 role to the next lesson and 2 role to the conclusion. I know the button blocks offer something similar, however when I set the navigation to linear (which is a requirement at my company) there are sometimes challenges with receiving a course completion. There is a new feature in RISE - Skip ahead - but that is only offered in a question format. I wish Articulate would provide the same functionality for us to use for pathing without quiz results.

      Ah the Skip ahead function from Labs could actually be a solution! I didn't consider this... When I get chance I'll have a play with that function to see what post message code is used, as this might allow the functionality you want..

        That would be awesome! That feature is exactly what I need without the format of a quiz and then quiz results. I feel it would be something many would appreciate 😃

    Unfortunately the method I suggested won't work as the 'skip ahead' doesn't work in the same way as post completion message snippet ☹️
