Solution: Storyline block for text input and save to cmi.interactions (SCORM 1.2)
For anybody interested, I have developed a SCORM 1.2 Storyline block that can be used to collect input from a user on an LMS. The block can also be configured as a mandatory completion.
It is fairly simple to configure and publish to Review 360 for inclusion in your Rise 360 project.
There are a couple of configuration options:
id: Define the ID of the activity, e.g a question text. This is used for the cmi.interactions.id and can be used to identify the question/response in the LMS report
charactercount: How many characters the user should enter before the Submit button is enabled.
Unfortunately with it being a Storyline block, we cannot overcome the "Play button" requirement for mobile devices.
We made the decision to make the activity large, so that when it is scaled it is still legible on mobile devices.
Demonstration in the attached video.
And for anybody interested, there's a notes one too (for SCORM 1.2 LMS). Allows you to Save notes, and view all notes that have been saved throughout a module.
Hi Janelle, I have a couple of Likert styles. One a slider and the other the more traditional radio button style. The rating is currently 1-5, but can be adjust to whatever you need.
Set-up and integration should be similar to the text input method.Thanks for sharing your hard work! I'm trying this now!
And for anybody interested, here's a notes one too (for SCORM 1.2 LMS). Allows you to Save notes, and view all notes that have been saved throughout a module.
Hi Sam,
Do you have any suggestions on where we can have the program save the notes too? I see your path way in the slide. What be the best place?
Thanks,

If the RIse developers are watching - yes the community would like updates in this area.
But , It should be done in rise as blocks and functions, not via storyline insert.
But thank you Sam for sharing and showing it can be done.
I had hoped when starting to use Rise that all the interactions possible in storyline, including likert, would be made possible very soon for Rise as well. Turned out not to be the case. Why, i dont know.
Rise is due for a major update in that regard. I would even suggest that they offer an advanced section of blocks that can be expanded on frequent basis. based on user needs.
Its not like it takes years to create these blocks, test and implement. So hoping to see a major update with relevant functionality blocks this year. At the very least to be on par with storyline.I agree and would love it to be a Rise functionality.
Hi Janelle, for issue #1, did you ensure that each input is on it's own Storyline block, and has a unique ID set where {ID} is a unique ID:
When the timeline starts on this slide
- Set id to value "text-input-01"#2 - This sounds related to #1, just ensure you have unique IDs defined for each of the SL blocks. This will mean, publishing each unique SL block to review 360. Ensure you publish the block to review 360 using the unique ID as the name too, to make it easy to identify when inserting into Rise.
Hi Crystal, this does work with a tracking quiz. Our implementation was with a quiz. Writing to cmi.interactions doesn't interfere with Rise writing to cmi.interactions.
So does this mean you can have a quiz within Rise AND this block and both results will post to an LMS?
Yes Kimberly, both will post to the LMS.
Thanks Sam
Really cool, Sam. Will the Rise 360 course need to track by course completion for this to work? Could you use this in conjunction with tracking by a quiz?
Can you repost the demonstration video for how to use this? When I clicked the link, it said it had been deleted.
Hi Jennifer, I have attached the video to the original post. Thanks for letting me know it was broken.
Hi Sam,
How would I go about making the font smaller in the input field?
How difficult would it be to create multiple StoryLine screens with the input field so that you could add multiple questions to a Rise course?
