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.

So many folks have brought up the need for reflection questions in Rise 360. It's about high time Rise pushed actual learner centric features instead of merely reacting to the GEN AI hype.

Any update to having a reflective question fill in the blank feature built into Rise, without a Storyline block or third party survey imbedded?

Is there now a better way to record users reflection questions without a third-party survey or form?

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

I don't want to add to your tickets, but you can tag my company there (if that's possible).

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.

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?

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.
