NEW IN RISE 360: Scenario Block
Today we released the scenario block for Rise 360, and we think you’re going to love it.
Now you can easily add branching scenarios featuring Content Library 360 characters to Rise 360 projects. Just drop dialogue, responses, and feedback into a scenario block to walk learners through choices and their consequences. And because it’s Rise 360, your scenario will look stunning on any device.
See the new scenario block in action:
Learn more about working with the scenario block and explore an example in Trina’s article. We can’t wait to see what you create with this new block type!
Hello everyone!
I’m excited to share that we've released a new Rise 360 update that includes an enhancement:
- Scenario block fields no longer have character limits.
There’s nothing to install for web-based apps. New features and fixes are immediately available!

Could a feedback be a small video?
Is it so, the user could type in her/his name in the beginning, and that would be taking in the feed back? (Thats right Henrik. You are in control)
Hi Henrik,
Unfortunately, that’s not currently possible. If you have time to log a feature request and tell us more about your specific needs, that would be super helpful!
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
I am having an issue where the emotes I set for the character based on responses are not being displayed. Am I missing something?
Hey Brian!
Tell me more about what's happening with the characters in your scenario block. What expression did you select?
Can you share screenshots comparing the content in edit mode and in preview mode?
If you'd like extra eyes on this, our stellar Support Team is here to help!
Thank you for your tips in using this new feature. Is there a way to add your own images/props to a scenario? I would like to create a scenario in which the main character discusses several different tools, but I need to include images of these tools in order for it to be effective.
Hi, Ellen!
Could you add the tools or props to a custom background image? If so, you can upload your own custom background image to the scenario block.
Select the scene you want to modify, then click Edit Background in the main window.
Hmmm, that's a great idea. I will give it a try. Thanks!
Hey Ellen!
It sounds like you need the ability to turn off that background blur. I'll pass along that idea to our team!
Is there a way to add audio?
Hi Bridget! There's not a way to add media to the scenario block, but we can track that as a feature request. Thanks for asking.
I was excited to try and use Rise for the first time, however I need to be able to add audio and my own characters to the branching scenario and discovered this isn't possible. We wanted to build out some scenarios where the learner listened to a piece of a phone call and then had to choose how to react to what was said. I see this isn't possible at the moment in Rise, so back to Lectora I will go where I can do this. Hoping even more functionality is added to Rise because I would really like to use this at some point to liven up my trainings and make them look fresh. I know I could probably do this in Storyline but would love to use Rise to learn something new for myself and my learners' benefit. Thanks,
Hi there, Melissa. Thanks for sharing your needs! If the scenario block doesn't quite fit your needs, have a look at creating branched scenarios with button blocks. You can stack text, multimedia and button blocks together for a more customized experience.
If there's anything else I can answer, please let me know.
I am excited to try the scenario blocks in Rise. For a recent course on conducting interviews, I want to include a way for learners to practice interviewing skills. Here's my Rise example. Would love some feedback. Help Jacob Interview
I am trying to figure out how to switch from the interviewer character to the interviewee character. Ideas appreciated!
Hi Enid, fantastic work on that scenario!
You can select different characters for every scene, but there isn't a way to change to a different character on individual pieces of content. If you want to switch from the interviewer character to the interviewee character, try adding a new scene.
And for more inspiration on interview scenarios in Rise 360, check out the last lesson in this course by our Community Manager, Nicole Legault!
Thank you, Alyssa. Nicole's example was my inspiration. I was hoping she might provide her source files as a template.
Hi Enid! I've sent you a copy of it. You should see it in your Rise 360 dashboard. Thanks!
Just echoing other's feedback....a 200 character dialog is simply not enough - please increase asap, thank you.
I love this but the 150 character limit is silly. It limits our use of this feature, which could be exceptional for role plays and knowledge checks.
I agree, I spend about double the time i need to trying to finagle my meaning into 150-200 words. It’s so incredibly short :(
