Is there a way to include course content in RISE for learners to hover over the word to see the definition? I am desperate for this as my course has so much technical jargon in it and its hard to make learning easy. I've asked this question previously in other forums - would love to get some help on this please :)
Hello, Magda. Currently, we don't have a feature to reveal more information when hovering over a word in Rise 360. We're tracking this feature request, and I'll let you know if anything changes!
Using a Storyline Block might be useful for a Glossary, but if the course is set to restricted then the Glossary Lesson section wont be available unless they get to it? Can you add a lesson (which would be needed to make it available throughout the course and not just in one lesson) that is exempt from the restricted setting?
Hi Darren! Good question. There isn't a way to make one lesson unrestricted when the rest are restricted.
It sounds like you want to give learners access to the glossary at any time. Instead of using a Storyline Block, perhaps you could host the Storyline content on a web server. Then, add a hyperlink to the Storyline content in the course description on the main menu page.
It is an option but ideally having a Glossary or Notes option within the Rise course would be better. It is not always best practice to send someone to an external link while doing an Elearning module, it can be distracting. If this is the only option then I will set it up and see if it is acceptable for the customer.
Yes, I'd like to also make this request for an internal glossary feature and a rollover/hint on technical words within my course. We have to restrict our course navigation, so the storyline block doesn't work. I've also tried to make the glossary it's own lesson, but that doesn't work either. This need will continue to be a need for my technical courses. Thank you for adding to the list of updates needed.
I would definitely agree with the comments above. I work in the finance industry and we have a lot of complex terminology that we cover in our training. While I love the ease of using Rise 360 for smaller courses and m-learning, I am struggling with the lack of certain features, particularly the glossary or rollover/hint capability. This functionality would greatly benefit a lot of learners, especially those that may not be tech savvy.
Another vote for a glossary-type function within Rise 360. A number of clients have already requested this feature.
It would be helpful to be able to pull up a block of text, expanding on a key term or topic, rather than having to navigate to the explanation using buttons (clunky).
Me too! I tried perverting the process block and that kind of worked except for the impossible to remove numbering - tool tips (hover or tap to reveal) and a glossary block would be amazing!
A colleague just asked me if RISE has a glossary/definition feature . . . while I'm sorry it's not available yet, I'm glad to see it is being considered . . . would be very valuable in our courses!

Hi Joe, there isn't a glossary option in Rise but you could make one using Storyline and use the Storyline Block in Rise to include it.
Thanks Sam! I'll take that approach...
If you have Studio 360, there is a glossary "widget" in Engage.

Thanks, Darren. While an external link is the only option right now, I'm happy to share your feature idea with our team!

This roll-over feature is very useful and necessary. It is easy in Storyline with hover and layers. I hope this would be in Rise soon.

Yes please for the roll-over glossary feature!
Makes it a lot easier for the learner to have the definition right there!
This would be a very useful feature! Please prioritize :)
That would be great to add glossary feature to Rise 360. Please add it soon.
Please add the Glossary, it will make our lives much easier! :)

I concur with what's been said already. A glossary feature in Rise would be amazing. Thanks for considering it!
Add my vote to this!
Any updates on timeline for this?
