Rise and adding Audio
I'm playing around in Rise and I cannot see a way to add audio. Is this not possible? Currently I'm looking at an Image and text, but I would want to add audio to almost anything. This would be high...
Hey Dawn - good question. We've shied away from auto-play audio generally on Rise because it's really non-standard on mobile devices.
Makes sense. Maybe it's the visual that is throwing me off. When I see the playback visual for audio, it feels like I'm about to listen to a podcast. As a user, I might just scroll right past it since podcasts are not really my thing. So as a designer, I would be hesitant to put relevant information into the audio feature.
Sorry Adam, what does "it's really non-standard on mobile devices" mean? Facebook plays audio and video without prompting. Youtube plays first, second and third videos without requiring intervention after the first click on the link.
I would respectfully disagree. When I performed an ethnographic observation of mobile learning habits, I discovered that many people are now habituated toward the youtube paradigm where scenes of audio-video play automatically. Swiping to a new section with audio starting at the same time is closer to the consumption habits of other types of media.
Hello! I see these comments are from 6 years ago. Any chance the audio components will be upgraded in Rise soon?
