Creating Reflection Questions

Hi there Jeff!

That's an excellent question, and don't worry, you're not doing anything wrong! When you use a Storyline Block in Rise, the data from the Storyline Block isn't communicated to the LMS. 

It sounds like what you really need is a text entry or essay question type in Rise, and for that question data to be sent to the LMS. While that's not on our feature roadmap currently, I'm happy to pass along your suggestion to our Product team.

In the meantime, I've seen other folks embed a survey from Google Forms or something similar to capture essay data from learners. However, the learner won't be able to go back and reread what they wrote, since the embedded form will be reset each time the learner accesses it.

Very helpful, thank you! Yes, please put in that suggestion as that would be very helpful for our use case.

What if I was to create the survey solely in Storyline and not use it within Rise but as its own standalone part of the lesson in the LMS. Would the data get sent to the LMS that way?

What if I don't need the data from the text entry to be sent to the LMS but just persistent in the module, so that when a learner returns to the module, they can see what they answered.

Hi Kimberely! 

Are you looking for a text entry question type in Rise? While that's currently not available, I appreciate you letting us know that feature is important to you! We're tracking these requests, so thanks for adding your voice here. 😁

I have a SL slide as a Interactive Block in RISE. The SL slide has a data entry box on it.

But when we run the course in our LMS, the text entered does not remain when the user logs out and back in to the course.

As I said we don't need the information to be extracted to the LMS, we just need the text to persist for the learner within the course.

Ah, that makes sense, Kimbereley!

Storyline courses in Rise always start over from the beginning when learners revisit them. If we add a reflection question feature to Rise in the future, we'll be sure to let you know about it!

Thanks Alyssa.  It definitely would be a great additional feature in Rise.

Cheers

Kimberley

i would also like to see a reflection question option in rise hat allows user to see what they have answered as they go in and out and as they progress

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, Kimberley and Tina, and letting us know a reflection question is something you'd like to see in Rise. We always appreciate customer feedback. You can also submit a feature request here, if you have a moment! Thanks :) 

I would also like a reflection question option to see what the user has answered as they go along.  That's exactly why I started searching through forums today!
