Little Rise help please. I'm playing around with it and can't figure how to jump from one content block to another in a lesson.
Example - I am covering a process that has four stages (one lesson per) and each stage has three sub-stages. At the intro of each lesson, I want to list the three sub-stages and have a short intro, then have a link to jump to another block.
I know I can create another lesson for each stage, but that creates a messy TOC and the silly "Lesson x of x" gets out of whack as well - any way to ditch that? Seems like it should be simple to get rid of! :)
It sounds like you want to avoid a messy menu, so I've got some ideas that'll help maintain a streamlined Table of Contents.
Check out this Rise course that Tom Kuhlmann created. He used used a button stack each button linking to a different lesson to create the feeling of a "branching" interaction.
Another option would be to provide links within one Rise course to separate learner-specific Rise courses.
And if you're feeling really creative, try your hand at this tutorial on hiding menu entries to create the "fake branching" effect.
How do you set up a course like in the example shown by Tom Kuhlmann? I can't figure out how to do a table of contents with a header and subheaders like he did.
Hi, Holly! You can create menu sections by typing a section header and pressing shift + enter. Then, name each lesson as you normally would, pressing enter after each title. Here's more information on organizing your menu.
Back to the original question -- can you use buttons like Tom K. to create jump links within the SAME lesson (of a course)? One of mine is long, and I'd like to be able to "jump" to a different header/section. Can we jump to content blocks within a lesson? Possible? Thanks!
Yes, this feature is so crucial...Rise is awesome, but this one missing feature makes my stakeholders prefer PPT instead. Is it on the roadmap at least?
Basically, this is a global module, but I have some information that is for U.S. employees only and I'd like to provide a link or button so that those who are not in the U.S. can skip the rest of that section. For now, they'll have to scroll past it, but it would be nice to be able to provide a jump.
Hi, I have the exact same set up. I want a button to take you to the relevant region of a learner within a lesson without having to create different lesson for each region. Would be so great if this could be created ASAP please Articulate :-)
I'm going to have to second (and third...) this emotion. Please consider adding this feature. I'm trying to talk someone off the ledge of the interactive PDF cliff and this ability to use hyperlinks to navigate in addition to the menu has become a sticking point (against the use of Rise).
I need it too! One knowledge check for nurses in pediatric medicine and one for nurses who work with adult patients. It's very easy to jump within the same page using HTML jump links. I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a hack for doing this?
I came here looking for the answer to this question as well, and would love to see that feature incorporated! Please add my interest to your list, @Alyssa.
+1 from me too, I have one module with 4 sections, but learners only need to complete either the first two or the last two depending on some criteria they have, so I'd like to be able for them to just press a button and it would take them only to their relevant sections, instead of forcing one group to skip through the sections they don't need.
+1 for me too! I have lessons where all the content is the same for one role but some activities are role-specific so, at this point, I am adding instructions for them to skip the section if they aren't in that role. It's a pain and I'd love for them to click a link or a button to skip to a specific block. I am going to assume that this is a very popular request and a very important one for most of us IDs and Developers. Please, please consider adding this to the list of enhancements!
I also would like "anchor link functions" so that one can create navigation inside a chapter. But even better toogle TOC visible/unvisible subchapters and linking between those.
How about as interim solution for target group matching content, a new settings panel where we can identfy/input a list of target groups and then we could from that in edit on blocks simply tag the content we want the users to see?
Me as well! I use Rise to create facilitator guides and I would like to link out to instructions for a lesson just in case the trainer needs it, and not have to copy the instructions every time the trainer does a similar activity.
I would also like this as a feature! I have been working on some eLearning today and it has been specifically requested to link to a block within the lesson.
Agreed. I like using Rise a lot, but it seems like it's missing a lot of basic features you universally find in other programs. I would much prefer you build in basic features like this rather than adding in more showy features.
Two more examples:
Rise to save a course's full color palette beyond the two theme colors
Lock feature so courses can't be mistakenly changed when working with team members
You may find these features boring, but they would make it more user-friendly.
Hey all! Thanks for chiming in and letting us know you want to see this feature! This isn't on our roadmap right now, but we'll let you know if we make any changes that help!

Hey Cat!
While you can't link a button to a specific block within a lesson, that's a popular request! Thanks for letting us know you need that option.

Thanks for asking, Marina. This isn't on our roadmap right now, but we're tracking interest for this feature!

I support the development of this feature!

I would like the feature to jump a block or lesson. For example, get a knowledge check correct and it will go to this location in the Rise Course.
Looking for a similar feature!
Thank you so much!
Please count my vote for this feature as well :)
Thank you!

I too came to this tread hoping I'll find an answer... Please, Rise, we really need this feature! Put it in your roadmap. Thanks in advance.
