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.

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?
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.
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?
Thanks for this, Sam. Now we're just trying to get the cmi data out of our LMS (Canvas.)
If anyone has successfully done this with Canvas already, please let me know.
Sam, thank you!
This is a wonderful solution, Sam! We've even been able to store user responses for two separate questions in our LMS.
We'd like to do the same with Likert style questions (4-5 questions in a Storyline block). Have you been able to use a similar solution? Do you have an example *.story file? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
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!
