Is there the option to turn on a time restriction in Rise files? We have a client that wants her course completed within 60 minutes. She told us this after we had already completed her course design in Rise. If this feature isn't available directly in Rise do any of you have any other suggestions without completely redesigning her course in Storyline?
While there isn't a course timer feature in Rise available at this time, I'm going to share your insight with our product team! I'm curious to know more: could you tell me why a timer would come in handy for your client?
Additionally, will you be uploading the course to a Learning Management System (LMS)? Depending on the LMS, you should be able to set a time limit in its settings. Be sure to share the name of the platform you'll be uploading to here, as there are many folks here who are setting wizards!
Katie, I have another example where this is needed. We provide non harassment training in CA and other required compliance training where they have a restriction that that a learner MUST spend a minimum of certain hours in the course. We used to do this as a timer in SmartBuilder but can't, or don't know how, to do it in Storyline or Rise. Each section had a timer that restricted access to the next section until the timer expired. That allowed us to guarantee that a learner spends the required time in a course. For example CA requires at least 2 hours for the supervisor non-harassment.
Hi there, Paul. You can accomplish this in Storyline 360, but Rise 360 doesn't have any time-based restrictions on moving through the content.
In Storyline 360, you can disable your Next buttons until the timeline of each slide ends. You'll want to set your navigation settings to restricted so that slides have to be completed in order. Make sure the timelines of your slides add up to the time requirement for your course.
Hi there! No feature was added for a timer in Rise, but yes, you can create a time-restricted quiz with a Storyline Block instead.

I am wondering if there are any timer restrictions for rise 360. I'm developing a course and the ministry wants to ensure that student does not fast track the course and that each section has a timer and they have to wait until that timer is complete in order to move forward.
Looking at this thread, it's been "over 3 years ago" to "3 months ago" for feedback on adding a timer feature. Is there a plan to add this feature to Rise 360?
Is there a plan for this to become a feature in the future? We love creating rise courses for our users but our content is all time sensitive. Would love to see this come!
A course timer feature isn't in the Rise 360 Roadmap yet, but we'll add your voice and let you know of any updates on this request.
You may try using Storyline for now, or if you are uploading the Rise course to an LMS, check with your LMS admin if this has an option/feature to apply a timer for the course.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I hope that helps!
Has anything new been added to Rise to allow time restriction? Maybe with a Storyline Block?

Hi Ali! There aren't any timer restrictions in Rise. I would suggest creating the course in Storyline if this is a requirement.

Hi Salena,
If you are using a LMS, investigate if it has the functionality to impose time restrictions for a course.
