Put Storyline Interactions Into Rise!

We’re so excited about the latest new feature in Rise: Storyline blocks!

You can now have the best of both worlds: custom interactivity with Storyline 360 and easy web-based responsive authoring with Rise.

Create any custom interaction you imagine with Storyline 360, and then easily add it to the responsive projects you create in Rise. And of course, your interaction will work perfectly on any device!

To try it out, just make sure you’ve updated to the latest version of Storyline 360. Then watch this video by our CTO Arlyn Asch to see how easy it is to add Storyline interactions to your Rise courses.

  • Hi all, I have read the entirety of this thread - some really great thoughts and contributions - all of which are really helpful. I have found an example of custom interaction within a Rise course that IS responsive and does NOT show a 'play' button above it (at least when viewed on IOS). If anyone knows how this was done I (we all!) would love to know. I can only think that the custom interaction was created using some other authoring tool and NOT Storyline? 

    See my other post here to view the example:

      Checked it and it is the default Rise360 scenario...you can do something like that with it...

        Thank you Math! I am delighted that this is a not-yet-explored (by me) bit of functionality in Rise and disappointed that it is not beautifully responsive custom-built content! 

  • For all that want a better embedding of Storyline blocks into Rise without the 'Big-Black-Mobile-Button' i found a workaround that is shown here in my latest post in this thread. Although it doesnot solve autoplay on Mobiles, you still have to add buttons in your Storyline to enable audio and videoplay. At least it gets rid of the big black play button at start...and you can define how and what you want yourself at start...

  • Hello!

    I attended a Rise seminar where it was suggested to use the 16:9 story size when using Storyline in Rise, yet I wonder, if the content is being viewed on a phone does it matter?  Since leaners could be consuming content on a computer, tablet or phone, is there a Storyline size to use when importing into Rise?

    Thanks!

  • Hi Holly! Most smartphones have an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is probably why the recommendation was to use this size. There is no specific Storyline size that we recommend for importing into Rise, but you can check out this thread for ideas on what members of our community use for their Storyline size.

    On a desktop, the Storyline block is displayed within the Rise frame, and you can test how it looks when viewed on a desktop by clicking on the desktop icon when you preview your Rise course.  Storyline blocks won’t work when you click the smartphone preview icons, but they’ll work as expected in published output on smartphones since the Storyline block opens on full screen when viewed on a mobile device.

  • Your explanation is helpful, Lea and thank you for sharing the discussion thread on this topic too!

  • Hi! I just wanted to confirm that to insert a Storyline file into Rise, the Rise author must also be the one to publish the Storyline file to Review? I created a Storyline file that my colleague wants to insert into Rise, but it doesn't seem to give her the option because she wasn't the author. I gave her the source file, but she doesn't have the font that I used, plus it just seems like an unnecessary step for her to have to publish it to Review if it's already there. Is the only workaround for me to become a collaborator on her Rise project and put it in myself? It would be nice for this to work more seamlessly for those who work in teams.

      As now you can choose to 'Publish locally for manual upload' you can prepare uploads so that anyone can reuse some Storyline element in her/his Rise courses. Thus the missing fonts issue is solved then to ... if no changes are needed in the Storyline...
