I'm currently using Rise to create courses that will eventually be used in an LMS. We want to have places where users can answer reflection questions throughout the course. Ideally, we want that data to be persistent, so when a user comes back, they'll see answers that they've entered before. We also want that data to be sent to the LMS so that instructors can see what learners entered. Since Rise can't do text entry, I've created a Storyline scene that is a survey that collects their text entry answers, and then I'm embedding that Storyline into a blocks lesson on Rise. However, I don't think I've done it correctly since I'm not seeing any data. I'm also not sure if they data is getting sent to the LMS. I'm still pretty new to Articulate, so maybe this is a simple fix. Any help would be appreciated. Happy to provide more details or files I'm using if that's helpful.

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

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. 😁

This is disappointing that neither RISE 360 nor using a Storyline block for reflection questions can be done. Reflection is an important aspect of learning and with the inability to come back and look at what one has written based on experience -- just having open text seems pointless. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to build to an external tool like using OneNote or using a function of the LMS.

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.

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.

Hello, Courtenay!

Right now, the best way to add open-ended, survey questions to a Rise 360 course is to embed a survey from a third-party tool (like Google Forms or Survey Monkey) using a Multimedia Embed block.

Use this iFrame code format for easy embedding!

Hello,

I have created a google form for learners to complete a text entry question. I have tried to embed it using the multimedia embed block and the iframe code you have provided. However, the form is not displaying, and instead I am getting the link displayed rather than the form. I have attached a screenshot here. I am on a free trial currently and am wondering if this is the reason? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello, Jamal. I couldn't get that shortened link to work, either, but when I used it in the browser, it redirected to this URL:
  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdNuDxrpEJeJKgpNp6u26FH0f9R2xAg5IagJTPETYmgwLWlaQ/viewform
  
  I was able to use the iframe formula with that URL in a Rise 360 lesson:
  
  <iframe src="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdNuDxrpEJeJKgpNp6u26FH0f9R2xAg5IagJTPETYmgwLWlaQ/viewform"></iframe>

Thank you Crystal.

I'm actually having trouble embedding any link into rise

For example, I'm trying to embed a YouTube link via Multimedia --> Code sippet using both the embed code directly from YouTube, and the <iframe src="URL HERE"></iframe>

Embed code

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VXt9Zt2urIs" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<iframe src="URL HERE"></iframe>

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXt9Zt2urIs"></iframe>

I’ve tried both of these and they are not showing the video, but rather, just the code.

Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thank you!

  Hi Jamal! No problem. The code snippet block is a text block used to show code but not execute it.
  
  To embed web content, use the Multimedia > Embed block. Let me know if I can help further!

Hi there,

Is a reflection activity, survey , in Storyline 360 accessible or not? Could anyone please let me know. I need to use it in a course but it also have to be accessible, so I am not sure if this is OK to try. Thank you. Regards, Stef

Seems like 2 years of asking and nothing yet? I think this function is critical moving forward if we want to be innovative. Everything is leading edge with Rise and Storyline 360 - lets have the chance to capture text - view it as tutors, the learner views it and can get a summary from time to time, and ultimately some eLearner authors are getting learner input into a final strategic plan or summary - with selective text. Lets get this going please. Thank you.

I only say it as I have seen a great example of a financial planner elearning course helping a person produce a financial plan with graphs text and more. Wow! Love to be able to have this capacity with Rise and Storyline. Any ideas anyone on how to do this?

Hello, Stefaniada! Rise 360 isn't fully accessible yet, but we're working on it! I don't have details on how learners will navigate Storyline blocks using screen readers and keyboard navigation, but we'll keep you in the loop as we learn more about that.

This would be an awesome feature to have. +1
I don't want to add to your tickets, but you can tag my company there (if that's possible).

+1 to adding a large text entry interaction that saves/prints to Rise!
