Hi. Is it possible to add an open, blank text field in a lesson on Rise 360? I would like users of my course to be able to write reflective comments as I pose questions. Thanks, Dan.

+1 for this functionality in Rise - thanks! Alternatively, perhaps you can adjust the "Fill-in-the-Blank" Knowledge Check to have an accept ANY answer option . . . that may solve it. Thanks again.

This is a very telling thread. Three years of steady requests for what customers/course designers expect to be a standard feature, and three years of the feature not being added. Looking at the list of planned/in-development features, it looks like there's a disconnect here: several of the planned features are focused on how the course looks, while course designers are requesting more attention to *how* course participants learn and engage with the course. This really gives the impression that the company's priorities are out of sync with customer/potential customer priorities. Anyone currently entering the learning & development profession is learning about the importance of engagement-based learning, with open-ended questions and reflection exercises. This is especially increasing in adult and corporate learning. Three years of "We'll think about it" is really out of step with what is now a standard customer expectation.

Hi Jenn, If you design a free-response or survey question in Storyline 360 and embed it in Rie 360, the course facilitator won't be able to read the learner's response. If you want the ability to capture the learner's reflection, you can embed 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> You'll have to log in to the third-party tool to read the reflection, then provide feedback to the learner through email or your LMS's communication tool.

That's right, Andrea. This is a popular request, and we'll follow up with you if we add a free-response question in the future!

Hi Dan, This feature isn't available in Rise yet, but thank you for letting us know that it's important to you. It's always helpful to know how in-demand a feature is and the Articulate team currently has a feature request logged for this capability. In the meantime, you could always build a free response question in Storyline and embed it in Rise using a Storyline Block.

Hi Rob! Are you using the latest update of Storyline 360? If not, please update Storyline 360, then publish the text entry slide to Review 360 again.

Delete the current Storyline block, then add a new Storyline block using the newly-published slide. Let me know if that solves it!

  Hi Alyssa,
  
  I believe I am using the most current version, but I will try to re-publish and add a new block.

This would be great for one of my projects as well. It would be great if you were working on it. Thanks

  I have tried this option and it didn't work for me unfortunately!

    Hi Michelle! Thanks for letting us know a survey block is important to you!
    
    One alternative is to use Multimedia > Embed Block, and embed a 3rd Party form like Google Forms.
    
    You can then capture the Survey data and have them emailed to you. Hope that helps!

I definitely could do with this also. It would be great!!

My workaround was to upload a Word Document where they could enter their ideas/reflections and save on their own computer to refer back to later. Works quite well.

For those that use H5P, you can use the Essay activity. Here users can enter their text and the activity will identify key words used and award a score. Or you can disable that and just provide feedback text.

Note however that - because this is embedded - written content will not be stored.
