Add Custom Interactions to Rise 360 Projects with the Storyline Block

Hi!
When ensuring we get a crystal clear output (ie: what I'm looking at in Storyline is what shows up in Rise) we've been trying to figure out what the optimal Story Size is.

There are 2 factors here:
1) We use Talent LMS and in order to get our course to cover the full screen, we've had to increase the aspect ratios when we upload. (so we don't get all that pesky white space around the course)
2) Even when publishing to 360 and adding it to Rise (no LMS), it seems to come out fuzzy.

Does anyone know what we should be sizing this at?
Thanks!

If you add a Storyline block to a Rise course, then later modify the Storyline block in Storyline, do you have to publish and upload a new version of the Storyline block to your Rise course or does it dynamically update?

thanks,
Jeanette

Hi this is Karen Pizur. I love this new block option, but we are experiencing a few issues. I follow the instructions listed above by Ashley and here is what we see. in the mobile view, we get an image that shows a play button. When clicked, it opens a new screen and the SL block works correctly, but not within the course. The end-user needs to close that screen and return to the original course. Not good. Suggestions?

Hi Greg,

If this is a video that is embedded in a Storyline block that you are describing, check that you have selected the 'Show Video in Slide' option in Video Tools Options for your Storyline Slide. To see these options navigate to the Storyline slide containing the video and click the video image on the slide and the Video Tools Options tab will appear. If your option is set to 'Show Video in New Browser Window' this might be the problem.

Hi, Karen Pizur,
I am using RISE and love the idea of SL block, but I cannot get it to work correctly. I export out of SL360 as an HTML5 file type. Attach the file to my RISE interaction SL block. I open in mobile view and this is the point in which I have issues. In mobile view, I get a image with a play button, then when I select the play button, it opens in a different window. Why?

Hi Jane,

We've done this for our own purposes but had to go around the block a few times to get the video quality we were looking for.

Peek works but we found on importing it into Rise the image was a bit blurry. And, I suspect this is due to optimisation of the image. But this worked for us:

1. Record your software video - Peek or any other tool. Save as MP4.
2. We then created a Storyline 360 scene with the video embedded in one of the slides.
3. We then selected the video on the slide and chose the Options tab: then chose 'Show video in new browser window', and 'No Compression'.
4. Then we published the Storyline scene to Articulate 360.
5. Created a RISE course.
6. Imported the Storyline scene from Articulate 360 into a block lesson of type Interactive using the Storyline choice.
7. And we were good to go.

We needed captions that were ADA compliant so we did one other thing, at Step 2 we used the add captions option in Storyline to add captions to the video. Then we exported the Storyline captions in their VTT format to a piece of software that converted them to SRT format, which we then used with another software product to 'Burn' the captions into the original video, leaving us with a captioned MP4 video which we used as a replacement in Storyline for the original video. Then to step 3, as before.

This is what the result looks like.

Because most of our audience are not familiar with the RISE or Storyline Format the first few images are explanations of what is going on and how to control the video.

I'm sure that someone might be able to slim down this process for you, but we can do what I've described quite quickly now and it's not too much of an overhead to get a clear video.

Stan




4. Then we created a RISE course and

hi
is it possible to create screen recordings in 360 and then transfer them to Rise? We need to have software simulations as part of our course so I'd love to know if these video recordings are included when you talk about interactions.
thanks

Absolutely love the Storyline Block feature!
Would love to see this feature available to insert into Tabs and Accordions too.
Also the inclusion of an interactive video option would be amazing!

I have publish a Drag and Drop interactive Storyline slide locally to My PC. Is it possible to add this slide to Rise?
