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

Hey Alyssa:
Can you please provide an update on the status of the requests for a colour change/outline to the matching question in Rise quizzes? I'm know Articulate gets a lot of feature requests, but I see that users have been requesting this for over two years (!!). Something as simple as having a black outline around the shapes would help. Otherwise, this lovely question type is totally unsuable by developers (as learners can't see where the edges meet to drop their response).
I would also add my votes to the additional requests for increasing character limits and changing the direction of drag and drop to match Storyline; however, right now what we need to be able to use the question is to be able to see the outlines of the shapes. Hi Meghan!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughtful insight. I can understand your need for more customization options in the matching question type.
While we don't have plans for adding more customization options on our roadmap right now, we'll let you know if that changes in the future.

Hi All,
I created a couple matching questions. On testing, i received a feedback that the UX around the matching was hard to follow. Another user pointed out that it was challenging. I am wondering if there is a better way to design these matching questions. Are there any same instructions that have worked well? Can we color the text box or the outline? Or is there any other engagement elements we could use that is not a multiple choice/ multiple response or fill in the blank.
Thanks in advance.

I'd like to add a +1 to being able to customise the drag and drop matching interaction in some way - whether that's to change the outline of the blocks or the background colour. I don't even seem to be able to change the font size or colour, which is frustrating.

I would also like the matching questions to have more than a 90 character limit. I have trimmed down my definitions as much as I can without losing meaning, but I'm still a few characters over. I have considered embedding a Storyline Drag and Drop, but I want the look of my knowledge checks to be consistent throughout the training and I need them to be locked down for certification purposes.

Hi,
I am trying to move beyond 10 matching options to 13 and find I cannot do this. Is there a set limit to the number of matches?
Hi Stephanie! Yes, the matching question type is limited to 10 choices. Here are some more details about question types!

+1 to increasing the character limit please.

It would be nice to be able to add character styles, such as bold, italic, or sub/sup script to the matching items.

Anything on the roadmap for matching images to words? I find it very restrictive being only word to word. Thanks!

Hi Emelia, we're still tracking requests for the ability to add images to matching-type questions. We'll let you know here if this feature becomes available in the future!

Emelia,
I first asked this question 3 years ago and it seems like its just not going to happen. Its a shame as I would have thought it was a very simple fix. I also would like to see the ability to have one extra field to have a non matching answer, otherwise the last match is a process of elimination.

Looking through the forum for a workaround for this now. I just simply CANNOT understand why Articulate has spent years doing such a poor job of implementing relatively simple requests from their users. I've run into so many issues that have a large group of vocal users asking for them over the course of years, but no implementation from Articulate. Sure makes one want to spend their time looking into a more customer-responsive authoring tool instead.

Just wondered if the matching questions have had requests for a new setting:
For a setting to make it possible for the objects to not "stick" if incorrect? (Similar to SL.)
Thanks.
Hi Diane! Currently, the matches aren't evaluated until you submit your response in the quiz.
If you're looking for an exercise with more immediate feedback, the sorting activity block will "bounce" the cards out if they aren't the right match!
