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...
Hi Ashley, I am currently using Rise for the first time and indicating listeners to either listen to the audio or to read along without it. If they choose the option to read along with the audio, the audio cuts off when the reader opens the accordion blocks or tab interactions. I truly wish that the audio can continuously play - this way the learner does not need to fumble around and the designer does not need to think outside of the box - which Im currently doing lol.
Since the accordian/tabs only uses video or images, I'm trying to see if I can export a .mp4 in a small size so that it does not pop up much on the boxes and the listener can play it along if they wish to hear the audio - however, RISE seems to have a specific player for any video updated.
My alternative solution is to attempt and create something within storyline 360 resembling close to the accordions. However, that is more timing. It would be truly great to allow audio to not be uninterupted as interactions occur OR to have audio within interactions including the accordion/tabs. Thank you!
Hi so I actually created an accordian scene within Storyline 360 and uploaded unto Rise. However when I do, a grey screen and a play button comes up. It will be very confusing for the learner to continuously use the play button just to partake in an interactive moment.
Is there a way that I can take out the grey box and player button from the storyline feature on Rise and have the scene automatically pop up for the learner?
Hi Natasha,
Thanks for sharing your feedback about how you'd like the audio blocks to work here on E-Learning Heroes! Would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
To answer your second question about the play button appearing on the Storyline block, there's no way to get rid of that. Here's why it works that way:
Some modern browsers, like Safari and Chrome now block autoplay audio and video. This keeps Storyline 360 content from playing automatically.
Since we can't change browser settings (if only we had that kind of power!), learners are presented with the playback button so they can view Storyline 360 content regardless of browser restrictions.
I hope that makes sense! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
