Glossary In Articulate Rise?
I work on some pretty technical pieces and I'd love to see an interactive glossary feature in Rise so a user can click or hover on a word and a description of the term/ concept comes up. I know we c...

2 of my projects have included a component with similarities to this.
- I had a project with a lot of math and complex ideas.
- I used hover tips throughout the project to breakdown the math into samples or simpler terms. My content was primarily video, so I created hotspots, but you could use whatever is the best choice for your project.
- I created a Tooltip layer that had each tip in a different state.
- This is the choice I'd use if I wanted to point to a word on the screen and have the info available only while on that screen.
- I had another project where we were teaching keyboard shortcuts and how to navigate their software. Lots of memory work.
- This one I made a full reference guide that I displayed in a lightbox.
- It was context sensitive, using variables; so it knew if you'd opened the guide before and what progress you'd made through the course. It opened to the most relevant content, but allowed for exploration of all topics previously covered and disabled any content that was not yet taught.
- This is the choice I'd use if I wanted to have a help button in the same location on each page, that gave all the terms on the page. Especially if I wanted to be able to provide an alternate view with the full glossary.
In both cases, I introduced learners to the help tool before they needed it so they felt confident before becoming overwhelmed or confused.

And I just realized that you mentioned SL, but were looking for an answer in Rise. I'm still on my first Rise project, so I haven't ventured into custom content and don't know how far that can take you. I guess I'll be watching along with you.
