How does RISE store attached pdf files when exported for web or LMS?
Thanks Gren
If there were a few 'global' variables like the Learner's Name and maybe a dozen text and numeric variables that could be set within a new interactive block type that allowed for text or numeric input - and these variables could be displayed in a text block using some special characters - as is the case in Storyline - then that would add a LOT of extra functionality to Rise developers.
The variable names could be fixed if that would be easier e.g. "RiseTVar1", "RiseTVar2"... etc.
If those same variables could then also be made available through a "GetVar" and "SetVar" API in JavaScript from a Storyline module the possibilities would be limitless!
I could create a 10 question Likert scale survey in a Storyline block and pass the results back to Rise to display them - or pick them up again in a later Storyline block and give the learner specific feedback based on their input...
I could create a learning journal allowing the learner to input notes at various points in the course and then pick the notes up in a Storyline block at the end of the course and email or print a pdf version of the journal...
I could build a multi-scene scenario in Storyline where what happened in part 2 was dependent on part 1....
I could... You get the idea. I would be very excited!!
Thanks for sharing these details, John! These features involving variables in Rise sound amazing! I'll definitely share these feature requests with our team, and keep you posted on any updates on these requests.
Have a lovely day! :)
