Survey questions in Rise 360?
Hi Kim
I share your frustration - it should be easier. There should be a facility to do this in RISE. In the meantime...
I have a client (assuming they sign-off the contract on Friday) who wants their whole course downloading as a pdf - including the learner responses from both text boxes and slider-driven surveys. They want the pdf downloadable and would like it emailed automatically to the learner. I have also suggested (although they didn't specify it as a requirement) that the pdf is stored on their server (they are using AWS).
We have provided the 'proof of concept' that included a single slider - which we output in the pdf as a slider image with the 'thumb' in the position set by the learner - not as a number on the page as per the demo I shared with you earlier in this thread.
I have explained that email cannot be sent automatically from client-side JavaScript code - nor any client-side code. So I have proposed either we open the default email server and let the learner attach the pdf they just downloaded OR we use an inexpensive e-mail forwarding service - the JavaScript sends the file to them via an API using a secure key and they then forward it to the specified recipient.
All this will be done in Storyline - BUT we will, for obvious reasons, make sure that the code uses dynamically loaded JavaScript libraries. The spin-off will be that we will then have the code that allows the learner to complete a slider-driven survey in a Storyline block in RISE and, at the end of the survey they will be able to download the results of the survey in a pdf AND email it automatically to whoever (albeit using a mail forwarding service).
It will be a survey in a single Storyline block and the results will be available at the end of that block (once you come out the block the results will be lost!)
If this is any use to you we will be happy to share how we did it... But easy, it ain't!
