Forcing "completion" of a checkbox list

Hi Michael,

You can definitely do this!

Take a look at this quick Peek here on how to use the "Continue" block to force a user to click on all those checklist items.  Not only do you get that gratification of checking things off the list, the Continue button will change and allow a user to proceed! ✅

We ran into the same issue with learners being able to uncheck boxes. I ended up adding some Javascript to the exported course to hide the "hit area" of a checkbox after it's clicked. It's crude, but it worked for us.

var el = document.getElementsByClassName("block-list__checkbox__hitarea");
window.onload = function (){
var i = setInterval(function (){
if (el.length){
clearInterval(i);

el[0].addEventListener("click", function(){el[0].hidden = true}, false);
el[1].addEventListener("click", function(){el[1].hidden = true}, false);
el[2].addEventListener("click", function(){el[2].hidden = true}, false);
}}, 100);};

Very keen for this feature. I have a similar requirement to Jess Forster. Thanks.

The Continue block is semi-new - April 2017. 😃  You can see the announcement from Adam here. 

There's a lot of great stuff being released to Rise and Articulate 360 all the time - so I can't blame you for missing it. Always feel free to reach out here and ask! 

I also like to keep my eye on the “What’s New” page where we showcase some new features we're really excited about, and the Rise Version history to see updates and when bug fixes became available. 

That is an interesting addition. If a user checks off a couple boxes and exits the course, will those checkboxes stay checked when they return so they know where they left off? 

Thanks!

Hi Cheryl,

If you're resuming the course in an LMS where it'll track your progress and bookmark it, you'll be returned to the section of the course that you left off at. The checkboxes will appear unchecked on a revisit though.

Thanks, Ashley. I have a course I'm working on with a number of checklists. I think the users would get annoyed if they returned and everything was unchecked. Better to stay away from that on longer courses. Tks!

I'm running into the same situation I believe Cheryl is talking about here. I created a new hire course and several of the sections have checkbox lists so they can check off what they've done so far. Unfortunately, every time they log back into the LMS, the boxes they checked didn't save. This is a course where they will need to keep track of the items they've accomplished and revisit those lessons until all items have been complete. Is there another way to accomplish this?

Would a work-around be creating separate Rise courses with completion blocks on each? If I packaged the courses into a curriculum in our LMS - would they be able to check off a couple of items but then also have the freedom to move to the next course as they wait on access or whatever is needed to complete all the tasks? Would the checkmarks stay saved as long as the course wasn't completed yet? 

Just trying to think outside the box to get this to work. Maybe instead of the checkbox lists - I should use the quiz option?

Hi Jess, 

Using the Checklist block in Rise, they will always be unchecked upon a resume, but I did pass that idea along to our team as a feature request. 

Hopefully others in the community have some creative ideas to help in the meantime!
