I am wondering if there is a possibility of using two characters in one scenario in Rise. I haven't seen this in any of the examples yet but just wanted to know when we would have this possibility?
Also, if anyone has used alternative strategies/techniques in rise to create a two sided conversation, please share those examples.
Hi there, Sonam! Great question! In the Scenario block, the interaction happens between the character and the learner viewing the course. Currently, there isn't a way to add another character to the same scene. But if it works for you, there are a few other creative ways to use other blocks to create a scenario between two people. Here are a few examples of what others have done:
The other option is to create the two-person conversation in Storyline and then add it to your Rise 360 course using the Storyline block. Hope that sparks some new ideas!

You can use a different character in each scene of a Rise scenario. I just posted about this yesterday: TIP: Multi-character Scenario block - Rise 360 Discussions - E-Learning Heroes (articulate.com)
Be sure to scroll down in the comments to Tom Kuhlman's post. He provides some nice examples, too.
Thanks a lot for sharing this Judy.
The scenario doesn't exactly help me create the scenario I am looking to build. That's something that I have only found in Storyline.
But regardless, I do think this will be helpful to think of a two way interaction a bit differently. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. that was the only option eventually - creating the conversation in Storyline and using the block within rise.
I really liked the Interactive Short Story by Teresa - is there an option to download that as a template? The character representation is fantastic!
Yeah. I really like the interactive short story too. We don't have a copy of that course, but you could try commenting on that example thread or reaching out to Teresa to see if she's able to share a copy.
