Q&A: New Content Formats — Guides, Decks, Interactive Video, & Scenarios
Rise already has a Scenario block, what's the difference with the AI Scenario tool?
Great question, HVfb0f498d-053b! While both let you build branching, interactive conversations, they work quite differently under the hood.
Scenario (classic) is fully manual: you build every scene, dialogue exchange, and branch yourself, choosing from a library of photographic characters and backgrounds.
The new Scenario format starts from a prompt and your own source material, drafting a complete branching scenario for you, including scenes, dialogue, decision points, and feedback, which you can then edit and fine-tune. It also opens up more character options (photorealistic, illustrated, or ones you create yourself), lets you choose between a chat-style or character-photo experience, and includes built-in scoring based on how learners navigate the choices.
So think of it less as a replacement and more as a faster starting point: the new Scenario format gets you a working draft in minutes that you can then customize using many of the same building blocks you're already used to.
Let us know if any other questions come up as you're exploring the new formats.
Love the new AI Scenario interface - WAY easier to build and see how things are connected. Is there a way to pull the new AI Scenario into a Rise course?
Ditto to this question - the new scenario format is not very useful unless it can be put in a Rise course, and I am not seeing that option. Is it hidden?
Hey! This isn't an option yet, but it is something we are planning to make possible very soon. We also anticipate folks wanting interactive videos in Rise courses, so that'll be coming too!
1000% this. My first thought on seeing the keynote was "are these new and improved interface features locked behind the AI content creation toolset when they are equally applicable to the current course creation methodologies?" In the keynote, your speaker notes how the new scenario-creation ai tools help to drastically cut down the time from "weeks to minutes," but most of that time is just the effort to try and create scenarios using Rise's limited scenario branching capability or else going back to work in Storyline. The Articulate team has proved that they know the pain points and have created a modern, visual scenario interface, why restrict it to just AI?
I guess I should EricSantos if I want an answer, lol :)
Adding on to Chris's question EricSantos - and extending it...I can see a use for adding an Interactive Video directly into a Rise course as well. Frankly, you could probably make a case for adding all of the new format types as a block.
