Is there an autoplay for the audio ?

Hi,

Is there an option autoplay for the audio ?

In storyline, we used to automatically launch the audio each time the learner change the slide.

Here in RISE, I fear he will skip or forget to activate the audio block in a lesson.

  • Hey there Académie,

    Welcome to E-Learning Heroes! So happy you're here ✨

    Audio autoplay isn't a feature currently on our roadmap, but I have seen this brought up before in our Community. I can see how it would be really handy in that instance, so I'm going to relay that to our team.

    When we first released Rise, the auto play feature was something we shied away from as you'll see in Adam's comments here. 

    It's always good to keep these discussions going and evaluate any changes to that as Rise is continually evolving! 

    In the meantime, you could try restricting the navigation in your course then adding a Continue Divider under your audio block with the completion setting Complete All Blocks Above:

    This would force the learner to listen to the audio before continuing.

    Take a quick Peek over here for how to set this up and here's an example of what it would look like for your learners! 😊

      I looked at this at one stage but it didn't feel right restricting the learner for our use case. Also the play button is not as obvious as other interactive elements, which may confuse the learner as to why they cannot progress in the module. Having a little tick for completion on each element would address this issue ( which I saw being implemented in other rapid eLearning authoring tools such as Adapt.)

      And about this comment that you shared.

      "When we first released Rise, the auto play feature was something we shied away from as you'll see in Adam's comments here."

      I suggest adding an option setting so if anyone who wants to have the autoplay, he/she would have the benefit of it. and those who don't want, they could keep the setting off.

  • To me, Rise 360 is useless as a training development tool without an auto-play feature. I had anticipated using it exclusively but not going forward. I can't believe this issue has been in the conversation as long as it has. Very disappointing.

    I am also frustrated by the lack of autoplay.  I have designed my courses with the audio going hand in hand with pictures and other written elements and would like it to play simultaneously as they look at another feature. The lack of autoplay is very disappointing. 

  • I'm coming in here to add yet another statement about the audio autoplay feature - or lack thereof. 

    Articulate's continued ignorance around this issue is baffling. Autoplaying audio is a feature that unquestionably should be an option to have ON or OFF. No question. 

    Not doing so ignores the 'right thing to do' and only demonstrates further ignorance on Articulate's part. It feeds into what every Instructional Designer knows to be a feature that should otherwise be a 'no-brainer.'

      Oh, and T-minus 10 seconds before Articulate deletes my comment... 10, 9, 8, ... *poof!
