I'd like to link other lessons in Rise. I see that the button block element supports linking to other lessons in the same course (via the Destination dropdown), but I also want to use hyperlinks in the text to link to other lessons. How can I get the relative URL so I can hyperlink?
I'm setting up a glossary using the lessons and want to reference another term. Ex. Average / Mean. When they are viewing the definition of Average, I want a link to Mean so they can jump right to it. Any way to do this?
This is exactly what I'm trying to do right now. My client wants to link the glossary terms (where they appear contextually, in-line in the course) to the glossary "lesson" at the end of the course. I wish there was a feature (or even a workaround) for this-- and I agree that this is absolutely essential.
Hi Oxford REM Learning! Tell me more about your idea. Are you wanting to use the Storyline block as a sort of menu, with buttons that link to different lessons within the same Rise course?

Hi Alyssa,
We have a process image right now that serves as an overview of the course. In testing, people were clicking individual process tiles in the image, expecting to be taken to the corresponding sections of the course. Feedback was given that it would be a neat feature.
Now, we were looking for ways to make that happen. Currently, only Buttons in Rise 360 have the Link to Section functionality, which is unfortunate, because I think just about every Interactive Block should be able to be used as a Link.
Our solution was a way to build an interactive timeline in Storyline and import it into the Rise 360, but we still run into the issue of linking, and that we can't really link to individual Sections of a Rise 360 course, since those links are generated anew every time a Rise 360 course is published.
Ideally, any Interactive Block, especially Cards or Process\Timeline should themselves be able to be used as a Link/Button. Same goes for most other Blocks, including Images.
adding my voice to this request. I'm working on a course in Rise with a lot of technical/legal vocabulary. While I have created a Glossary at the end of the course, the SMEs have asked me to also create links/pop-ups when the term is used for the first time (similar to a light box in storyline). if that is already possible, please advise. thank you!
Thanks for letting us know what you need, Amy. Right now, Rise 360 doesn't have a feature for a pop-up when hovering over a word, but I'll add your vote to that request!
Loving the discussion here. These relate to a project I am developing.
In my project, the learner will being the learning which is based on a common topic, but each learner would follow a different path depending on where they work, branching back into common areas as they progress through the learning. Trying to avoid having a separate course for each work group.
I anticipate that once the learner has followed their work specific path, the course won't show as completed because there are parts of the learning that won't be accessed.
I think in Storyline, I can use java to force a "Completed" command to the LMS, but I'm wondering if the existing button option "Exit the course (LMS Only)" would be sufficient.
Hi there, Andrew. You have a couple options depending on your course design:
Track completion based on number of lessons viewed: Do each of the paths require about the same number of lessons? When you export your course for LMS, you can choose what percentage of the course has to be viewed in order to be marked as complete. If you use the lowest common required lesson count, your learners should get marked as complete as they finish viewing their unique paths.
Track completion based on a Storyline block: Do all of the paths end on the same lesson, i.e. a summary lesson? If so, you could use a Storyline block with a completion trigger to signal completion. When you export your course, choose to track by your Storyline block.
The exit course link at the top on its own won't mark the course complete. Depending on the LMS, it will close the course and return the learner to the LMS page where they should see whether they completed the course based on your requirements.
I also have this question about linking to a lesson within the same Rise Course and unfortunately the button options won't work for me. If this was still not taken care of, I am joining in with everyone else requesting this feature be added. Thanks Stef
I just started using Rise. Agree with the comments above - it would be really helpful if we could have a similar choice option (like there is for buttons) when hyperlinking text.
I like the buttons block, but there are definitely scenarios where I want to link to another lesson from within a paragraph/line of text or when I have more than a few lessons I want to link, it would be nice to have other options instead of a wall of buttons. Bookmarking/anchoring to specific content/block lower in a lesson or to a specific portion/block of another would be a plus too.

Hi Bryan,
Right now, there's not a way to hyperlink a word in one lesson to a word or block in another lesson.
Thanks for letting us know what features you need in Rise 360!
I too would like to see this as a function in Rise - various scenarios would definitely benefit from it.

I would love a feature that allows me to link to individual lessons within a course from a Storyline 360-imported block.

Thanks for that insight! I'll let our team know you need more options within Interactive blocks to link to other lessons in a course.
Hi! I am adding my voice to this, it would be really helpful hyperlinking to lessons from any text!
Thank you!
Hi I am adding my comment here too because having hyperlinking to lessons from any text would be really useful.
Thank you!

Yes, each path has the same number of lessons. So that's an option.
I had also been thinking of using a storyline block which is possibly the better option as it allows a bit more flexibility.
Andrew
I'm interested in this one as well. Thanks for keeping us up to date!
Yes, I second Elaine Foster's feature requests - please add this because the result is that we end up not being able to use Rise altogether.
Add me to the list of those asking for the ability to hyperlinking between lessons.
Add me to the list also - this has been requested for over 2 years now - so would be great to get something done...
I also have this question about linking to a lesson within the same Rise Course and unfortunately the button options won't work for me. If this was still not taken care of, I am joining in with everyone else requesting this feature be added. Thanks Stef

I also have a need for this - creating a URL link to another lesson within the same Rise course. Any updates on this possible new functionality?
Thanks, Jessie; we'll add your voice. This isn't on the immediate roadmap just yet.
+1, we need this. The manifest uses relative linking, this should be fairly trivial to do.
