Open ended questions in Rise
Hello,
I am considering Rise to build a Leadership training course. One of the requirements is to have fill-in-the-blank questions that are open ended i.e. there is no correct or incorrect answers defined. I tried keeping the Acceptable Answers field blank, but that did not work. Does anyone know if this is possible at all in Rise? That is, can users submit their answers (no word limit) without being told whether their responses are correct/incorrect?
I'm disappointed to find this is still not an option. It is quite common to ask learners reflection questions right inside the module without wanting to capture their responses or offer feedback. Removing the text label on the accepted responses is a start, but then it leaves the strange colon there. Please just give us the option for open-ended questions without feedback (or with the option to just provide general feedback, not correct/incorrect).
It's possible to embed a Storyline essay question, but then it can't be enforced in Rise. I want them to answer something even though I don't plan to grade or capture the response. Embedding a third party tool for this just isn't very streamlined.
Hi, LaRhonda!
The fill-in-the-blank question type is great for questions that have a single-word or a short phrase answer. You can even provide a word bank to ensure learners don't misspell the answer.
If you're looking for an open-ended, long-form question type, I suggest embedding a survey from a third-party tool (like Google Forms or Survey Monkey) using a Multimedia Embed block.
Use this iFrame code format for easy embedding!

Have you considered designing the fill-in-the-blank question on a Storyline slide, then embedding it in your lesson using a Storyline Block? That way, you can customize the question however you like!
Pro Tip: hide the Storyline player so the question flows seamlessly in your Rise 360 lesson.
Hi Alyssa.
Thanks for the idea. I tried this option using the Survey question type - Essay. I was able to include it in a lesson in Rise. However, I could not see an option to add a Storyline block to a quiz. Ideally, I would like to have the question as part of a quiz. Is that possible?
Hi Deblina,
Unfortunately you cannot add a Storyline block to a Quiz.
You can only add a Storyline block to a Lesson.
Using the method above, Is it true that it then ceases to responsive on mobile? My SL blocks appear small and almost illegible when put into Rise and viewed on a mobiile.
Looks like this has been a request for the last year. Any updates on this? It seems like it would be fairly simple to implement and open-ended questions can be powerful.
Hi there, J V. No updates yet.
This has been a request for over 3 years. Why are Articulate so unresponsive to user requests? Every time I have an issue with RISE I find many others have the same issues and a request has been made to add the functionality, yet none of the easy wins ever seem to get implemented.
I simply want the ability to ask a Short answer question and provide feedback WITHOUT the Correct or Incorrect image. This will be a very quick fix.. simply add this option to the Feedback selector and hide the image on the page. It will take minutes to code!
Why can't these things get sorted. I am VERY frustrated with Articulate's inability to listen to its users. We are seriously looking at alternatives to RISE, due to so many very minor annoyances that could be fixed easily. What are the road-map team doing?
I'm a very frustrated user!Is this something that can be placed on the product roadmap for future Rise versions? It would be incredibly helpful to have this open-ended functionality.
Is it not possible to delete the X (incorrect) or the correct checkmark? An easy way to fix the problem.
This feature is currently not available in RIse. It is a frequently requested option though.
Hi Karl. Thanks for that. Yes, I would imagine it to be a popular question type.
An open-ended question or the ability to have a short discussion would be GREAT! This would allow people to share their ideas with each other! Currently, we have to link out to SharePoint for discussion questions. It works but it's not ideal.
Let me also say how useful this feature would be...my university policy does not allow me to use Google forms or survey monkey to capture student answers.
