Randomise questions

Hi,

I'm aware that if I insert a quiz lesson in Rise that I can choose settings to randomise question and answer order, but there is no similar feature visible if I insert a question via the Knowledge Check Block.

Are there plans to include this feature in the settings menu of Knowledge Check blocks, particularly for multiple choice or multiple response questions?

We often use single Knowledge Check questions within training blocks to keep up the interactivity rather than lump them together at the end of a lesson or create a separate lesson.

 

  • Hello everyone, 🎉

    I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360, adding the new features below:

    • Knowledge check blocks can be added directly to question banks, have their content width and answer colors modified, be required for training progress, hide the correct answer if answered incorrectly, and have a set number of retries.

     

    There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to export your Rise 360 course again.

    Let me know if you have any questions about this update!

  • Hello all !

    I experience the same issue with the question banks. As the randomization of the question is based on the question and is not global, it selects twice the same question in the quizz, which is not the expected behavior. Is there a way to make Rise smart enough to know that the question has already been drawn above in the quizz ?

     

    Thanks.

  • I would also like to raise the issue of being able to randomize the Knowledge Checks in Rise 360. Please let us know when this will be on your roadmap for Rise.

        Hi Lea,

        this is a great update, but it would be awesome to have multiple random questions in a knowledge check block in the same manner as a quiz.  Is this yet possible?

        Many thanks,

        Lauren

  • Thanks Andrew for raising this question again. I was sitting here with same issue. I kept checking through the settings to see where I could randomize this, but was sadden when I couldn't find anything. Hence I'm reaching out to the community. 

    @Hazel, has this been discussed as a feature upgrade for the near future...like tomorrow :D. Love the option, but it would better serve my learners if randomization was available.

    I see these feedback comments were discussed over 2 years ago. Has there been any development on randomizing answer choices in the knowledge check blocks?

    I share the same business needs as others that have commented on this request. I currently have a course that the Coast Guard would like to see the answers randomized. Any information on this feature would be welcomed. I can always do a regular quiz but would rather test their knowledge in small bites throughout the course.

      Hi Andrew! Thanks for your interest in this feature.  This still isn't in the roadmap for Rise 360. 

  • We'll absolutely pass along your feedback to our development team, Stan! Thanks for letting us know how we can make Rise 360 even better.

    Hi Crystal,

    Yes, I'd like to randomise answer choices as it makes people think harder, and adds more variety if you have someone that passes over the material more than once . And, by the way, also showing the correct answers when the wrong answer is selected makes the Try Again option pointless.

    And, in the best of all possible worlds, in Utopia, I would like the ability to include a knowledge check in the Scenario block allowing me to create interesting complex pathways.

    Could you ask the development team to consider these options because we are developing learning materials for teams that need a real intellectual challenge.

    Regards,

    Stan

  • Hi there, Stan. It sounds like you'd like to randomize answer choices in knowledge check blocks. Currently, there isn't a way to do that. The answers will display in the same order even if you use the Try Again option after answering. I do love that you're using knowledge checks to keep up the interactivity!

    This is why a quizzing block is needed. I am not sure why it is not a block like the rest of the Rise blocks.
