Handling instructor notes in a Rise package
Hello, we are using Rise to deliver content in our virtual instructor-led (ILT) classrooms. The instructor shares the Rise package through a WebEx collaboration meeting (similar to a PowerPoint deck), but the students can also access the shared version on their local machines. I'm curious to know if anyone else out there uses Rise for this type of ILT sessions, and if so, how does the instructor handle "instructor notes?" For example, the instructors have answers to the activities and personal notes that they want to cover, but obviously they don't want to reveal those items to the students. Just curious to know if anyone has a workaround or recommendation?

Here's an idea...Use the Articulate Review feature to add comments to each section of the Rise presentation. You can review the notes and their corresponding screen image as a list. You can also export the notes as a PDF for out-of-presentation guidance. This approach wouldn't limit other review comments, either, because you can resolve comments, but leave presentation notes alone.

I have the same question about instructor notes with Rise. Aaron Toth's suggestion seems like it might work. I saw that you posted your comment 10 months ago. Have you come across any other solutions?

+1 to getting Rise to offer this feature. Rise could be a single tool for developing content for synchronous in person instructor-led training and for asynchronous online training without an instructor. However, for it to work for this first mode, some instructor notes capability would really help make it more viable.
Hey David!
Rise 360 is primarily an online course authoring tool, but there are some out-of-the-box ways you can use it for different purposes, like a presentation. We don't have an instructor notes feature on our roadmap right now, but we'll keep our eyes out for more momentum around this concept.

Another ardent request to add this feature.

I am going to submit this as a feature request as well, but wanted to add "momentum" :) around this concept and my +1 too.
We use Rise for both self-paced and ILT courses. Our thought process is that we use it as the ILT for those employees we want and need to expose the content to immediately, but then publish it after for anyone that either couldn't attend or is hired at a later date and still needs to know/understand the material as part of their job.

+1 for feature request.
I've tried using an accordion (which needs to be expanded in order to be viewed) as "notes" for more visual or "slide-like" content. - AllisonBrody-9bCommunity Member

+1 for instructor notes feature. I am using Rise to create instructor led training material similar to a PPT. It looks very professional and is easy for the instructor to move around in the course. Notes would make using Rise for this training much better.
