New Rise Feature: Matching Questions
Hi Everyone,
Today we released matching questions in Rise.
Here's a quick look:

Hi Graeme,
With Rise being a newer product than Storyline (and often times one with a different audience despite certain overlap), we try to take a look at interactions inside of Rise with fresh eyes as we build them.
When creating something like a matching quiz question, we considered what we’ve built in Storyline to help inform the process, but when we see an opportunity to improve upon something and possibly make it more intuitive or easy to use, we explore it.
That was the case with this drag and drop matching interaction—in our testing, dragging left to right felt like it had a slightly more natural feel than right to left.
Hope that provides the insight you're looking for, and let me know if you need anything else!
Just wanted to follow up on my other question: Any plans to do allow us to customize the colors of the extremely faint outlines on the arrows for the matching? (some monitors we have tested on they are completely invisible)
As for the UX on the matching question... An even better approach would be to allow either to be moved, let the user direct their experience and interact in whatever way feels more natural and intuitive to them. I think this would be the best solution.
I am disappointed that with the decision to switch to left to right and hope that there would at least be some consideration given to having both columns in the interaction to be moved or an option to choose how the interaction can be used. This would be especially helpful to those of us who are long standing Articulate users and have many courses that are in Storyline and want to make the transition to using more Rise and have a mix of both Rise and Storyline courses in our eLearning libraries. But understand that as you say this is probably not many in your audience.
