Rise - Labeled Graphic/Marker concern

Hi Kirk,

Rise does make a pulsing circle around a marker if it has not been clicked and removes the pulsing circle after the marker has been selected.

I don't see any way to customize the color of the marker after it has been selected. There only seems to be a way to customize the color of the marker, but that color stays the same whether the marker has been selected or not.

Since you can change the color of the marker, I would try and make the color something that would stand out clearly from the background. This may address your concern about higher contrast and make the markers easier to find if the learner has missed one.

You might try making these in Storyline and inserting them as Storyline blocks in Rise. In Storyline you could have circles as markers that change their state after being selected. For example, white circles that change to red after being selected. This would easily allow the learner to see which one(s) have not been selected. You could even add a pulsing animation to it and sort of mimic what Rise does with a marker. At least you might make one image in Storyline and test it in Rise if you want.

Here's another option to consider: add a locked Continue button after each Labeled Graphic block. Yes, that would increase the over number of clicks a bit. But the user would only have to focus on 3-10 markers at a time.

You can use a theme component to modify the states with CSS, in this example I've redesigned the markers as 'crime scene' markers, and once the item is viewed, the marker turns gray. In this example I've only completed/viewed marker 1. 

.labeled-graphic-marker.labeled-graphic-marker--complete:not(.labeled-graphic-marker--active) {
  filter: grayscale(1);
} 

Almost forgot this example that may be of interest- unlimited numbered markers that change color when in 'active' state, and number changes to a check mark when in 'completed' state. The 'unviewed' items have a green ring on the marker, and I removed the pulse animation. I've noticed with many markers on a graphic the pulse animation will max out the cpu and slow down my mac.
