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!
Hi Alyssa,
Our team has varied results with Padlet displaying properly, but your example works quite well. Specific the pink "+" button we find disappears if we resize the window to be too small. What are the settings you've used in RISE in your sample, and did you make any adjustments to the settings in Padlet so that the "+" button is always on screen?
A second question is about the embed block size. I see the Padlet quickly requires users to scroll within the block. Is there a way to adjust the height of the embed block in RISE, or to make it responsive height wise?
Thanks
