We like the ability to view Rise courses on a phone or tablet. However, the icon that shows on my android phone is just a gray box (unlike when you download an app and there is a nice icon.). Is there anyway to customize what the icon looks like?
I assume you're saving the link from the browser to the phone. In that case you're getting the gray box.
There are some ways to customize the icons in Android. Here's one link, but you'll have to do more research since that has nothing to do with the course and all controlled by the device.
So if I understand correctly, there is no way to create an icon that will always appear when a course is bookmarked on a phone or table. The user would have to create their own icon.
Is there a way to deliver a Rise course that could have a standard icon?
Again, this is something you have to do after the course is published and is based on either the hosting site or the device that creates the shortcut link.
Hi, I am creating a course with Rise and I would like to have titles with icons. How can I do that? I am currently using text with headings and sub-headings.

Thanks for the quick response Tom.

Out of the box, no. However, you can probably make some modifications at your site where the course is hosted. Here's a link that explains a little about this.

Hi Claudia! This can be done through the use of emojis. You can copy an emoji from a place like this site
