Is there a way to link to a lesson within a course from outside Rise? Example: send an email with a link taking the user directly to a quiz within a larger Rise course.
Right now, there isn't a way to do that in Rise 360. However, our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I will make sure your voice gets added to the discussion.
Thanks for letting us know this feature is important to you! We're tracking requests to extend linking and anchoring ability. We'll keep you posted here if make any changes that might help!
Hi I have a follow up to this, so currently can I link directly to a lesson in Rise, not to the header page? I read somewhere else if it's on a web server I should be able to click on the link on the top and let the user go directly to that lesson, is that true?
This is kind of possible, under certain conditions.
Prepare the quiz section so it looks nice..
The course link must be from a share link course Take the browser adress link directly from the page that has the quiz. Note: Make sure to have a direct page link in the quiz block, after quiz.. to the main course page if you want the student to be able to take the full course after the quiz..
Put the link from the quiz section/page in email. send out.
So it is possible but not from within LMS and not with tracking with this method.
Tracking can possibly be done in some way with "1px. storylineblock" in the quiz section... but that i leave for those that needs tracking to discuss.
Thanks for the reply! Are you able to link to a specific lesson within a course in the Rise LMS? Crystal mentioned in her post that you can deep link to a lesson within a course if it is exported for web, but for an LMS, it gets complicated due to how course launching behavior is handled by the LMS. I was wondering for this specific LMS, is there a workaround?
While deep linking to a specific lesson works in Rise 360, however, I tested this in Rise.com, and using the URL of a lesson doesn't bring you directly to the lesson, just to the Course Description/Launch page.
However, if the course is added to a Learning Path, then the course (and lesson) is accessed through the Learning Path, then deep linking to a lesson works. You may try this as a workaround if you'd like learners to view a specific lesson of a course directly.

Hey, Daniel!

I would also like seeing this feature added. I am receiving requests to be able to link to a resource within Rise.
Has there been and update regarding this feature? Would love to know how to do this if so!
Subscribe! haha -- would like to know when this feature is available

Hi Avni! If you export your course for web, yes, you can copy the URL at the top while you're in the lesson you'd like to link.
For LMS, it gets a little more complicated since users typically have to log in, and the course launching behavior is handled by the LMS.
Hi, Is this feature available now? i see the last response was over a year ago.
Hi, Ellen! No updates yet on this feature, but we'll let you know here if anything changes!
I would love to see this become a feature. It would be so nice to direct learners to a specific lesson within a course, as needed.

Take the browser adress link directly from the page that has the quiz.

Maybe someone know how to do that and can share.
Hello! Will deep-linking work in the Rise LMS?
Hi Vanessa! Thanks for reaching out.
Yes, you can direct link to courses on Rise.com. You can check out this article on How to Direct Link to Courses to know more.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
