Hi There I'm new to using rise. Is it possible to use the fill in the blank knowledge check question as more of a reflection activity for the learner where there is no right or wrong answer? Is there a way to change the settings so that the learner cannot get it wrong as it's their own reflection? Or is there another tool I could use for this purpose? Thanks Jess

Hi Jess and Christine, You'll find a similar question from Kelsi here, and my colleague Crystal shared some great ideas on how to create a similar interaction to provide opportunities for reflection without establishing a right or a wrong approach. I know a few other folks have asked for a survey style question, where learners could enter in a bit of free-form text that isn't graded. If that's also something you'd like to see I can add this discussion to that request we're tracking!

Hi Jess and Ashley, Sorry it's taken me a few days to come back on this one. I was able to delete the X/Words with the Inspector but couldn't get it to save this. After going down the rabbit hole of trying to work out Chrome DevTool Preferences, I decided to try option 2 - of building and embedding a look-alike question using SL. Good news it worked a treat. I have just finished building and inserting it into my Rise course and it looks really seemless. Jess - I have attached the SL file below for you. Feel free to amend and use as you wish. Ashley - I am happy to share this with the broader community beyond just this post. Can you please share as you see fit. FYI a bit of information about this. My quiz is a self-reflection style short Q&A, but it also does have some very simple branched responses depending if they include a keyword/approved response. To activate the Submit button you need to type any letter key. Hope you like it. Cheers Christine

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!

Hi Andrew! The fill-in-the-blank question type is great for questions that have a single-word or a short phrase correct answer. If you're looking for an open-ended, free-text question type, I suggest embedding a survey from a third-party tool (like Google Forms or Survey Monkey) using a Multimedia Embed block. Use this iFrame code format for easy embedding!<iframe src="URL HERE"></iframe>

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. RE: 6th Grade English Language Arts Lesson https://rise.articulate.com/share/j4WxkdD_wCEOop6sZMT74PrJ2AsGhaEt 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 there, I am just now searching for this capacity in Rise. Interesting to see this conversation starting years ago. Any news on this front? Will there ever be a function in Rise to provide a space to learners for self-reflection that is not graded.

  Hi LindsayHunt-0c5,
  
  Thanks for checking in on this!
  
  Since this discussion began, we've introduced Survey Blocks in Rise 360 Labs, which support short- and long-form text responses and can be used to collect learner reflections.
  
  I'm curious whether Survey Blocks would meet your needs, or if you're looking for a different type of experience, such as a non-graded reflection activity that's integrated directly into the course flow. We'd love to learn more about your use case.

I was playing around with replicating the fill in the blank Rise actions in a reflective question storyline block and this is as close as I could get. Let me know if anyone can polish this further. Would love to have this native to Rise though in the future.

Yes, PLEASE! Totally need this ASAP. Could be as simple as being able to toggle "mark incorrect" for the write-in responses. Please, please, please provide an option for a reflection response. Thank you.

An interesting “work-around” would be a program such as Nearpod.

I recently started using this program: really enjoying the rapid development; ease of implementation; positive UX; and varied interactive-knowledge check capabilities. It integrates w Google Classroom as well as other true LMS: https://nearpod.com/lms-integration

I have not tried to insert a Nearpod into a Rise course yet like I have done w Google Forms. But it may offer the free response function.
