Is there an autoplay for the audio ?

I had clients interested in Rise, but they decided it was not usable due to the audio playback issue. It really limits the attractiveness of the platform for anything other than the most basic elearning design.  Does anyone have any suggestions for alternative responsive development tools? 

Yes, this feature is of the utmost importance to the community of developers and Instructional designers that are CRYING out for this feature. I think it is pretty strange that something so sought after and requested, here in this thread and similar threads, has not been addressed. We understand that there are workarounds.

1. Forcing the learner to click all the audio buttons by the idea of content locking, via the Continue button (complete all blocks above)". This is not a good workaround as it may confuse a user as to what interaction they need to interact with, also there's no way to actually see if a particular audio element has been clicked/interacted with. Maybe a tick indication to say that an interactive element has been activated would be something nice to add. I know similar learning tools that has this feature and it works really well.
2. Inserting Storyline Block into a Rise course. Yes, there are times in which this is useful and is a fantastic feature BUT, it is totally counter-intuitive to have to insert a Storyline Block into Rise, to just enable an auto-play audio snippet. It defeats the purpose of using Articulate Rise.

We are not asking for the world. I don't believe we are asking too much. What we are asking for are the following

• Inclusion of an auto-play feature for audio, whether it be a toggle button or option etc. This will allow for the instructional designers to make the decision on the best pedagogical approach to facilitate the most effective and meaningful learning experience possible.
• Please raise this again, as it is still hindering projects for many of your community of users.

Hi,

I dare to post again on this topic. This becuse it been put on the edge in my design of courses for the organization. There is courses that are ok without audio, but I am currently trying to manage a course which require audio and I have tested the walk-arounds.

It is a bad solution. Adding that extra click, adding the confusion and the bloch "you have not completed all above" will ruin the learning experience.

I do not agree to your reply for a unfied experience. I do not actuallt understand at all your standpoint. I would assume you have learners and instructional developers in organization so this is not jus another IT stuff.

Rise360 has become a so fantastic tool, easy, looking good, and the scenario block is really nice. Then, having the autoplay issue to fail the whole experience seems odd to me, there is means to make it optional, and for restrictive browsers, in most e-learnings there is a pop-up window and you have to approve content, same here so blaming restrictive browsers is a poor excuse.

I recently (yesterday) finished a course with auto audio play online (from IATA). Not a Rise course though. Looked like a SL or PPT converted corse.

I am curious what the actual issues are? Does it cost too much? Is it to difficult and will be too complex? As I have seen in the posts on this topic it is a most wanted function from very many instructional designers.

Please consider this option now, and listen to the community, please :-)

Have a great weekend.

PS. Btw, the course I needed to do with audio, on pause and I creating a classroom course instead, a pity DS.
