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 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.

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.

    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.
