Rise and adding Audio
Hi everyone! 🎉
I’m excited to share that we’ve released a new Rise 360 update that includes the feature you requested:
- Insert audio in text, quote, statement, image, list, carousel, flashcard, tabs, and accordion blocks.
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!
Hi April,
I'm curious to know more. Would you mind telling me a little more about why that particular function would come in handy for you? What type of scenario would you use it in? I'll share your feedback with our product team.
Hi, Ashley. We add narration/dictation to text in some of our Storyline courses... simply to give learners the option to listen to the material or read it... whichever they prefer. I see that narration can be added to some interactions in Rise but not to text boxes where the majority of readable material is.
This would be a great feature. Many of our learners have requested the ability to listen to audio at the same time as reading text. It certainly conforms with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) concepts.
A reason? That's easy!
This can be considered an essential element where UDL, accessibility, and learning preferences are concerned. Sure, some with disabilities may already be using a screen reader, but others may not have and may still need the learning support.
I have ZERO disabilities and I learn better when I am reading and hearing the words aloud....allows me to process faster and not fall asleep with a bunch of reading. Perhaps counter to what Mayer says about designing to avoid cognitive overload with media, but users should still have the option to learn as they will.
Thanks for sharing that feedback, Tonya! I'll be sure to add your voice to the feature request.
I have been using Text to Speech option in Articulate. I add the text I am using in my Rise lesson, export the audio and add this to Rise courses. This gives the learner audio and visual options.
