Audio support for quiz
I would like to suggest audio support for Rise quizzes. I am developing courses for a music learning website, and the ability to add audio to both the question and the answers would be valuable. I know I can add a Storyline block to accomplish this, but the built-in functionality in Rise would be great.
Hello everyone!
I’m excited to share that we've released a new Rise 360 update that includes:
- New: Do even more with knowledge check blocks, quizzes, and question bank questions by adding audio.
There’s nothing to install for web-based apps. New features and fixes are immediately available!
Please let us know if you need any additional help!

Yes please! +1 for me.
Last update is a year old, any news?
Thanks!I echo the request please. I have a student who would use this in her English language lesson.
I am really surprised that this is still on the back burner. +1 in 2021.
+1 from my side as well. We would like to make the Rise quiz section of our courses more accessible to sight impaired employees by including audio options for the questions, answers, and responses.
+1 from my side. This will be a great feature to support quiz based accessible content to add like Audio, video and image. all 3 option at once.
We will certainly send you any updates that will help! Screen reader support won't be ready by the end of this month, but will reach out as soon as we know more on the timeline.
Yes. Please let me know.
My deadline for my project is the end of the month but I suspect the improvements will help others in my position at some point.
Thank you for the information.
I'm happy to hear that, Scott!
Right now, we're targeting to be fully WCAG 2.1 compliant by the end of 2020. That being said, screen reader support may be ready sooner than that, but I don't have a firm ETA yet. Since I know this is important to you, I'll be sure to keep you posted on our progress!

That sounds exactly like what I need. Any ETA on how soon I can look for the screen reader support? Currently, I'm adding narration to every piece of text so that I can be compliant but because I can't add narration to the KCs it is holding me back.
I've added a separate "508 Compliant Knowledge Check" lesson to my module and I'm trying to use the buttons to allow multiple pathways but it seems pretty clunky.
The reader would be very, very helpful.
Hi Scott,
It sounds like you need the ability for learners with visual impairments to have the option to listen to quiz questions, is that right?
If so, we are adding screen reader support as a part of our efforts to make Rise 360 fully WCAG 2.1 compliant. A screen reader would read every piece of text to the learner, as well as describe any visual elements like images or interactive blocks.
Does that sound like it fits what you're looking for?
