Survey or Short Answer Questions
Hello, Richard. It sounds like you need two things: a short answer question type, and the ability to see learner responses.
Rise doesn't currently send question-level data to an LMS. The good news is that it's on our feature roadmap. We don't have a delivery date for it yet, but I'll be sure to let you know as soon as it's available. I'll bring the idea of a larger text entry option to the team, as well!
As far as Yes/No questions, would knowledge checks work for you? Or would you need to collect learner responses for those questions, also?
Until these issues are resolved, Rise continues to be useless to me. A part of me wishes I could opt out of this part of 360 and save some of the funds that are being sent to it. Certainly a value drain, at a minimum, until the following use cases are added:
- Authors can use blocks in quizzes.
- Authors can use quizzes in blocks, pulling from them like question banks as desired at a granular level (meaning I can randomly pull one question from a question bank, and on the next question I can pull another from a different question bank).
- LMS admins can easily pull granular data from Rise publications via SCORM and SCORM LMS reporting.
- Authors can add survey or short answer questions to blocks and quizzes.
- Authors are able to organize content in ways that may not fit pre-defined schema.
For example, I looked today to see if I could use Rise to insert a quick SCORM quiz that had some open-ended questions as part of my course. Wanted it to be responsive and simple to set up, and so I used the image with quote block, clicked the plus button, and found I could only use a simple "knowledge check" block for interactivity. I don't understand how this product still, at this point, doesn't have the basic question types available. I don't understand how people are using this with a performance mindset with such poor performance tracking.
*If you really want to dazzle us, make easy-to-customize reporting dashboards with LRS-like, xAPI-enabled monitoring for student, instructor, manager, and admins with Rise aesthetics as plugins for most learning management systems, especially Moodle. You'd be the first authoring tool to tackle making standardized, enterprise-level xAPI tracking across an authoring suite a reality. Now that's worth $1400 a year!
Note: I will probably not be responding to this thread. I do not mean to be rude. Just busy!
