Sorting Activity in Rise

Hi Katie,

Thank you so much for making a sample Rise Course to translate what you explained. Apparently, I have figured how to change the background color. Doing so makes the entire background (including the category buckets) the same color which according too may be an accessibility issue as well. And making it colorless doesn't blend well with the rest of the lesson. Card sorting is a great way to knowledge check and  I think it should be flexible to design.

I am working on Rise a lot these days , I have another pressing question on Card Sorting - So after completing the card sorting activity, a score is issued. Is there a way to monitor or measure how the learners are doing with the sorting activity? Foe examples, How many times they tried to do it? or reviewed the activity? This will help us understand where our learners are? And we can provide additional support to who are struggling? Also, by any chance can we intergrade the Rise course results in our LMS?

Thanks for always being prompt with your response.

Regards,

Manisha

Hi Manisha,

Great point about accessibility and the color changes. Also, with a sorting activity you'll want to look at the steps here to navigate using your keyboard for accessibility:

• Use the Tab key to select a category (drop target).
• After selecting a category, use Tab and Shift+Tab or the Left and Right arrow keys to cycle through the categories.
• Select the category that matches the item that’s currently displayed, then press Enter or the spacebar to move the item to the selected category. If the answer is correct, the item will move briefly to the category then disappear. If the answer is wrong, the item will shake briefly, then you can select a different category and try again.

The sorting activity isn't graded, as it's designed as a stop and check for understanding vs. a graded question type. I'll let my team know that you'd like to see this as a question type, and we'll keep you posted here if that becomes a feature request!

Hello, is there a way to adjust the size of the boxes in the sorting activity to fit more text? Thanks

Hello - This block really needs to be updated to have zero word limitations.  We should be able to put as much text on the tiles as needed. 

For example, I used this sorting exercise to help colleagues understand what is and is not appropriate behavior in the currency exchange industry.  For English I had no issues.  I then had to get the course translated for our Spanish speaking colleagues.  Now I am experiencing a big issue.  The way we type sentences in English is different in Spanish (obviously).  More words are being used in the Spanish translation and now I am having issues with the activity as the tile is cutting off the words do to character limitations.

Can you please put in submission box to remove the limited text on this activity? Please respond to this comment if you agree!

I would like to be able to add images to the sorting activity. Example would be sort the images into the correct categories. Is there any other way to move or match an image to another image or text? It doesn't look like images are an option in the matching block either.

Hi community - I'm trying to build an interaction where learners start with 30 options, and I'd like them to sort them down to their top 5. The exercise is around finding what truly motivates someone at their core.

So first level would be "Of these 30 options, sort them all into 'Not motivating', 'somewhat motivating', or 'motivating'", then second would be "of all the ones you put into the motivating category, choose your top 10. Then third level would ask them to whittle down to their top 5.

Any recommendations or resources I could be directed to? 

I'm also finding that I need to add more content into the sorting activity, but it won't let me add additional wording. Would love for this to expand. Please keep me updated if anything changes here!

We have problems displaying sorting activity on mobile phones. Longer texts are truncated or a part of the word is no longer visible (screenshots attached). I tested it with an ios and an android device, both had problems. Do you have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks in advance :)

SORTING - Is there no way to just allow the learner to sort WITHOUT a grade (pass/fail - right/wrong) I have a reflection activity where I want them to sort cards by how they are feeling... it's an exercise that doesn't need to be graded or have any kind of output. It is simply for them to THINK.

Hello, Articulate 10! 

That's a cool interaction! Since the sorting block requires right/wrong answers, you may want to try another block type. Here are some ideas for you:

• Use a checkbox list block: "Select any options from the list that make life harder for you."
• Use a flashcard block: "Flip any cards that make life feel harder for you"
• Use a Storyline block, and design the interaction to mimic the sorting block, but with no right/wrong answers.

Hopfully that sparks some inspiration!
