Fill in the blank knowledge check

In case this helps anyone in the future, I was able to add a few lines of CSS into the index.html file that hid the Correct/Incorrect wording and icon and also increased the size of the "acceptable answers" (and changed the colour to improve the contrast as well), to make the Fill in the Blank work well as a reflective question.

The big caveat is that doing this will remove the correct/incorrect icon and wording for ALL knowledge checks, not just the Fill in the Blank. For my specific project this thankfully wasn't an issue, as the course didn't have any other knowledge checks in it... but just keep that in mind if you have a mix of knowledge check questions. Unfortunately since the incorrect/correct info is the same code regardless of the knowledge check question type, I wasn't able to easily find a way to have it target only FIB questions.

Below are the two lines you can add between the <style></style> tags in the published index.html file. Note that every time you publish the course you will need to edit this, as it will rewrite that file.

.quiz-card__feedback--active {display:none !important;}
.quiz-fill__options {color:#045D86 !important; font-size:2rem !important;}

You can adjust the color and font-size values as desired.

Just a reminder too that you can change the "Acceptable responses:" text to be anything you want (i.e. "Suggested response:") in the course settings under Labels.

Oh my goodness... how great would it be to have a free response box without having to do a workaround?!?! I am very inexperienced with coding, but getting much more proficient with Rise functionality. This seemingly simple and very useful function would be a great addition to a great overall Rise product. It really would add to the engagement of the participant/student. 

Please post any further information regarding a free response box requiring minimal coding knowledge. 

I am trying to avoid using a Google Form or Survey Monkey that takes the user out of the program. And, I am working on a Mac, therefore have not worked with Storyline as of yet. 

Thank you for any support.

I am "rapid developing" e-learning activities to meet the changing needs of in-person/remote learning of the classrooms. Currently, my school will be operating the first two weeks on an alternating basis. I am planning this RLO to be used within a semi-flipped classroom situation. It is not connected to an LMS other than the Google Quiz at the end is connected to Google Classroom. 

Hi Mark,

Your best option for a free-response question right now is to embed a form from a third-party tool. Thanks for letting us know you need this feature built directly in Rise 360 — that's a popular request! If we add this in the future, we'll send you an update!

Yes I really want this too! I see this discussion started 2 years ago. Are you any closer?

Hi folks,

I have a similar need to include a reflective question into a Rise project. I've used so far a SL slide with an open question which feels like killing a fly with a cannon and does not look so nice in mobile platforms because it's not as responsive as Rise native content. I would like to add my voice to the crowd requesting this feature. If it's a popular request and seems to be a simple feature, why is it taking Articulate more than 2 years to get a solution?

Come on guys, our institutions are paying good money for these subscriptions....

In order to create a free-response function in Rise: I am currently using Multimedia > embed > Google Form Long Paragraph.

This provides students with the opportunity to write freely while also adding accountability as it is recorded for my review.

While a bit clunky, it is better than nothing at the moment. And, it does not take the students out of the Rise program (you need to uncheck the metadata button; unless you do not mind them pulling up the Google Form in another screen; which is not a big deal except that it can be "disorienting" for novice users to then get back to the Rise RLO).

Here is an example of a free-response that I am trying:

See the initial category of "Quick Write." I left in the Rise free-response function for illustration's sake. 

Hey there - just confirming for the staff that this is definitely something we need in Rise!  Free-response/reflection questions are a big part of our learning theory and practice.  We can use a work-around, but it would be so much more efficient to build these activities in Rise.  Thanks!

I agree it would be nice for Rise to have the ability to have a Knowledge Check type that was more for reflection - no right/wrong answer and plenty of space to enter their response. Articulate staff - please look into this as it has been a request for the past two years! Thank you! :)

I was wondering if there are any updates on this? We are looking into converting tons of workbooks and we need an easy solution (for non-developers). 

Irina - I am not sure how this would work in an LMS. Since my school does not have an LMS, I simply post a link to my Rise courses in a Google Classroom (Google Classroom is not an LMS). The Google Form records into Classroom. 

Students can do the Rise course, but the Rise activities are not recorded - unless I insert Google Forms.
