Creating Reflection Questions
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.
is this possible in 2023? I see the post is 5years old...
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.
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?
You got it, Jeff. If you create a survey interaction in Storyline and include a results slide, Storyline can communicate your learners' responses to the LMS. Here's all the data that Storyline can send.
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
please add my vote for a survey / non graded text entry question in rise or a way to turn off grading on the existing text entry which are always difficult to grade because text entry should really be ungraded. Having exact text match on a question only means it's a rhetorical question.
Please add my vote to the list as well. Having text entry to reflect and export would be very powerful for learners.
