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!<iframe src="URL HERE"></iframe>

Hi Deblina! 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.

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.

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!

Hi Anja!

It sounds like you want to design a question with no correct/incorrect answer. Rise 360 doesn't have a question like that right now, but thanks for letting us know what you need!

If you are looking for more feedback on open-ended questions in Rise 360 I will add mine. I would love a way of putting in these type of reflection questions in my modules.

I made a fairly simple Storyline that saves data in the inputfield to Google sheets. Works perfect.

In Rise it uses a 'dummy username' for testing, when published on the LMS the students name will be put into the Google sheet... The javascript code that sends the data to Google is simple, on the Google end you however need a cloud function that writes the data to your specific sheets/account.

Hi folks. Check out this community solution for getting your learners' text entry responses into your LMS!

I'm going to add to this conversation--we wanted to include a question that they can pick any or all of the multiple response questions, since it's a "what's your favorite" type question; there is no right or wrong answer. I hope you'll add something like this in the future!

  Hi there, Megan! Have you considered using a checklist block with all of the possible answer choices? Would you be providing feedback tailored to what was selected, or is there general feedback that would follow the learner's response?

Thanks Crystal - I trust that that feature request has been brought up and have been followed up on due to demand.

Thank you!

I use the question 'fill in the blank' as a open question with standard feedback.

Since a couple off weeks there is a Colon as response, that colon wasn't there before. How do I get rid of this Colon?

Hello, Anja!

An "Acceptable responses:" label appears below the learner's response. If you remove the "Acceptable responses" label, only the colon ":" will remain.

  thanks for the reply Alyssa:
  I removed the text on purpose because in this course we don't want the text 'acceptable answers as a standard reply. We don't want any reply. So that's why we are looking for a solution to remove the colon :

Thanks, Anja. While there isn't a way to remove the colon right now, I appreciate you letting us know you need that option!

Hi,
I am also interested in learning how you can accept all open-ended questions. Thanks so much :)
