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 highly disappointing.
Can you export Rise to Storyline and add the Course narration there? I'm completely new to this so that might be a silly question.....
I was also just looking around for how to do this... I 2nd the request for the ability to add narration to text!!!
Thanks for that context, April! I'll pass that along. And feel free to share any other ideas you have here: Feature Request Form.
Is there any way to record audio with the flash cards? We'd like to make a series of radio calls and responses that will help people learn the proper responses.
Hi Kimberly!
That sounds like a really cool interaction! Since you need to use audio, perhaps the Flashcards interaction isn't the best choice.
I wonder if you could build this interaction in a Blocks lesson using Audio blocks and Continue buttons? Here's a sample I put together for you. Do you think that setup would work for what you're looking to do?
Probably a dumb question - but how did you get the 'click to hear the audio response' button to hide the audio until it was clicked?
I "think" it might just be a relabeled Continue divider?
Hi Alyssa, can you explain the process for how you built out this sample? (clicking the button to show the audio block - keeping it all on the same page). Thanks.
Adding on to this subject. I believe this has been discussed, but is the plan to be able to add audio to any part of Rise? For example, the Accordion interaction is great, however it would be even better to add audio to each section. Currently here and with other interactions, you can add video, but not audio. Now I can make a mp4 from a mp3 as only audio, but it still shows a video window and I can't customize or make smaller that video window, so that alternate solution is not ideal. Ideally it would be great to be able to add audio to any object. Thanks!
Question about the accordion interaction. I do not see a way to add audio. I understand that I can add a block before of after the accordion. However, I have seven parts to the accordion and would like to have audio for each of the seven parts play when the learner clicks it. Is it possible to do this?
Hi Marla,
Within the Accordion interaction, you can upload an image or video file, or embed something from the web. There isn't an audio option, but I do know some folks have looked at converting an MP3 file to a video type such as MP4 and you could add that into the Accordion block.
Hope that helps!
Good Day
Can you please confirm if it is possible to add narration to content that is in Rise- where it automatically starts... I know you indicated that you will chat to the necessary people however has this been made capable?
Hi Kim,
Thanks for reaching out!
I don’t currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.
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.
Hey, Roni! It's actually two continue buttons! To recreate what Alyssa did:
- Insert a continue button and label it appropriately.
- Insert an audio block.
- Insert a second continue button after the audio block. Click Edit and select Complete Block Directly Above.
This "button/audio sandwich" results in the behavior you saw in Alyssa's sample course.
Hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.
