Discussion boards in Rise
Hi Suzie! Although there isn't a native discussion board tool in Rise, you can easily set one up using a link to another site. I used a free tool called Padlet in this sample Rise course. Once you've created the Padlet discussion board, copy the link address. Then in Rise, click Add Content then click URL/Embed. Paste the Padlet link there, and your discussion board is ready to go. I also invite other members of the community to chime in and share the discussion board tools they recommend!
If you'd like to see a discussion board tool within Rise, we'd love to hear more of your ideas! Would you mind taking a moment to share how you would use a discussion board tool with our product development team here? Thanks for being a part of the community!
Thanks for sharing this. Is there any way to embed this so users wouldn't need to open padlet in a separate window, and could comment/add thoughts directly?
Hi Bhaveet!
You can embed the Padlet as an iframe in your Rise course, and your learners will see real-time discussion from other learners taking the same course.
Check out my Rise course on how to embed your Padlet. Alyssa helped me work up the proper iframe code formatting. My course includes a real time example of how that looks in the end! You can post a comment on my Rise course through the embedded Padlet if you'd like -- comments show in real time.
Hi! Trying to steal this....but my padlet url isn't working. Here's what I'm getting. It works but opens a new tab. Don't want that. Want embed.....any ideas?
Hi Deborah, you'll need the embed code from your Padlet page. Please see the following:
Embed Padlet and then also see How to fix invalid embed code to make sure your Padlet can be embedded properly.
