Open text box/field in Rise 360
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.- MichelleDean-83Community Member
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!
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!

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.

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.
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!

I see that there was another request for this 9 days ago. I would like an update on this as well. As this is a popular request can we please have confirmation that this is being actively looked at?

Similar to Andrea, I've been following several posts with this request, and it has not been addressed in years. Is this a feature that is in the works yet?

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.

And having done that, is there a way that the facilitator can provide feedback on the reflection?
Thanks, Jenn
- LisaTobeyCommunity Member
Yes! This is desperately needed!
The work around is convoluted and not scalable for our large organization.

This feature would be very helpful for a project I'm working on.

So I am gathering we still do not have the ability to add an open text box field that allows learners to respond to reflection questions that do not need to be graded. Is this correct? I'm following through multiple posts that look like they date back 3 years ago on this topic. I'm trying to find a way to do this that is not outside of Rise as I want to package it all in one SCORM bundle. Is this possible? Thanks!

in favour for this functionality it Rise 360 :)

I, too, would love an open text entry feature to facilitate reflective questions!
