Glossary/Definition Options in Rise

Mar 10, 2021

Hi all, I'm working on a new Rise course where the author wants to add a few definitions for each Lesson - 3 or 4 words per "section". She wanted to add the Glossary at the end (I showed her Accordion and Flashcard options) - but then wanted to find out if I could put some sort of rollover-type option over a word or phrase within a text block.

Have any of you come up with a creative way to use a glossary/definition without having the learner jump between lessons or use the menu navigation? (NOTE: I did see the Button block option from Matobo Learning).

Cheers and many thanks for your consideration - Sam

Hi Sam, we're tracking requests for an Interactive Tool Tips option in Rise and I've added your request to the list. In the meantime, you can check out this thread where some possible workarounds have been shared. Please feel free to chime in the discussion if you have any questions!

Thanks...these are solutions that I already thought of and, sadly, the round-tripping is the issue for a separate Glossary. Hopefully there will be some sort of "Marker" option within a text block that will act as an ALT tag or something for defining terms. Cheers! Sam.
