Rise and adding Audio
Hello everyone,
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360!
This update includes a new feature that lets you add audio to scenario blocks so your content can be even more interactive. There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available.
Let me know if you have any questions about this update.
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?
