Can I embed discussion forum tools in Articulate Rise
Hi Wellcoaches,
We use Embedly to embed rich media in Rise courses, which means you can use videos, images, documents and other media from over 400 content providers, such as YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, and Scribd. See the complete list of supported content providers here.
I didn't see Disqus on that list though - I also tried looking at their site to get a better sense of how they embed into other websites, and was stumped. Do you have other discussion tools you've looked at using?
You could also look at exporting the Rise courses and uploading to your LMS to see if that will allow you to sync with your existing Disqus set up.
Let us know what you end up with - it may be just the thing another Community member is looking for! 😀
This is actually something I wanted to know about, but we won't have our course uploaded to an LMS. Any other thoughts on how to facilitate online discussion using an embed in Rise, Ashley? Thanks so much!
Hi Andrew,
Although there isn't a native discussion board tool in Rise, you can easily set one up using a link to another site. My colleague, Alyssa, shared steps here on how she set this up using Padlet.
Perhaps that'll get you started and I'll be interested to know what else folks in the ELH community have used!
I like Padlet. I used it when I worked as a teacher. The embed is a little wonky, though, and isn't clearly used as a "reply" feature, necessarily, but I get the idea.
I wonder what other discussion/forum web apps there are out there, and how easily those can be embedded? Anyone in the community use web-based discussion forums beyond Disqus?
