Survey questions in Rise 360?
I am working on a compliance course and want to use Rise 360. There are a few polling type questions that we want to ask learners for and be able to see their responses within our Saba LMS. In addition to this, we have an assessment that learners need to score 80% to comply.
I've been playing around in Rise 360 but I cannot figure out the best way to do this. Here is what I need.
Survey/poll questions:
- I need to be able to have our LMS record the learner responses to two questions. Since they are survey type questions (what type of device are they using to complete the course, etc.), there is no correct or incorrect response. I know how to stop the "Correct" or "Incorrect" from displaying.
- However, is there a way to not have a quiz results slide display?
Assessment:
- Within the same course, and at a very different location than when I ask the survey questions, I need to have an assessment. This I understand how it works and have no issues.
- If it is possible to have survey type questions and an assessment, how do I set it up to ensure that both 'quizzes' report correctly via the LMS for the exact same course?
Example of the survey type questions (the others are learner role specific)

Any information is greatly appreciated. I've watched the training webinar on Rise 360 assessments and quizzing. I understand the difference between knowledge check and quiz... just not sure how to do polling/survey type questions in one section of the course and an actual scored assessment in another section.
Thanks,
So surprised and disappointed to find that we can't capture survey responses on Rise. This thread started 4 yrs ago - how long does something like this normally take to get some traction? Sending our users to a third-party site for the survey is clunky.
Still need a survey block. Rise isn't accepting my MS Forms embed link and throws me the invalid iframe error message. My company does not allow other third-party survey tools.
I know this is not really what many of the developers on this thread need - as they are looking for the survey results to be stored centrally in the LMS...
But it would be possible to create a survey using sliders in a Storyline block and then put the results in a downloadable pdf file. We have used this approach in Storyline for a number of courses and have recently had success creating a downloadable pdf from a Storyline block within RISE.
Not easy - but possible...
Can you provide an example?

Hi Kim
I can provide an example of how we have done this in Storyline - I will just have to modify one of our client projects as they are proprietary - I'll just create a simple survey - shouldn't take me too long.
Will send a link ASAP.
In the meantime, here's a link to the other part of what we are working on - this demonstrates downloading a pdf notes page from a Storyline block in RISE. This is brand new - we only got it working a couple of days ago - apologies if it's not fully tested...

Note that the pdf is created from a pdf form template. The Storyline gets input from the learner and then uses it to populate the pdf form - which the learner then downloads.
Ok great- thanks for sharing- look forward to seeing the storyline too

Hi Kim
After a little searching I found a course we did a couple of years ago that had a downloadable survey (results are downloaded as a pdf) that I could plunder for a demo:
https://demo8.profilelearning.com
I should emphasise that this demo - in its current form - would NOT work as a Storyline block in RISE😒. It uses the JavaScript library "jsPdf" and requires the HTML files to be edited after publishing the course.
But, as my earlier posts explain - we have now discovered ways to overcome that using the "pdf-lib" library. It would take some work to modify, but it is definitely possible to do. pdf-lib also has some better tools for drawing in a pdf.
We will put it on our "interesting projects to have a go at" list. But it may not get done just yet.
I would appreciate your thoughts - and comments on the demo....
John-While I completely appreciate the ingenuity in your proposed solution and believe it could be a really great tool for other learning needs, it does not at all address the purpose or need of a survey question directly in a course, in that it does not report the interaction to the LMS. That is the entire point of the request, and the whole reason many people publish SCORM files for an LMS...the ability to capture the interaction. There is simply no way to capture the audience interaction with a non-graded question using Rise, and get that data to the LMS.
I truly do see how your solution could be really beneficial to a lot of scenarios. But I don't think it really gets to the problem, that I believe Articulate should have solved by now...
Hi Kathy
I totally agree with what you are saying - To be fair I did say at the beginning of my original reply:
"I know this is not really what many of the developers on this thread need - as they are looking for the survey results to be stored centrally in the LMS..."
But I didn't want to start a new thread in case this might work for even a couple of the many, many developers that have requested this facility. As you say, it could be a solution in some circumstances....
...but we definitely need the facility building into RISE!
Hello! I came across this thread whilst on the hunt for an answer to putting a survey in Rise. Is there any update at all? Whilst I appreciate the advice around embedding a google form etc, this won't work for our business. Thank you, Charlie
Hi Charlie
Did you mean is there any update on an update to RISE to capture the results from a survey block? ...Or an update on us producing a JavaScript version of the demo we posted that would work as a Storyline block in RISE?
If the latter, then we have had a look at it but haven't tackled the job yet. There are a few challenges - not insurmountable - but tricky.
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!
Re my earlier post on this thread, we have now completed the test using RISE - works great. We have a 15 question slider survey in Storyline. Inserting this as an Interactive block in Rise runs the questionnaire and, at the end, the learner clicks a button to download their survey responses in a pdf file.
We use JavaScript but the survey/assessment is a pdf 'form'. Which means that the same JavaScript code can be used for any survey (up to 15 questions) - the pdf file can be edited and, as long as the field names in the pdf are preserved no change is required to the JavaScript. Also no editing of the html is required after publishing.
I know it doesn't solve the communication to the LMS issue - but we still think it's pretty cool....
Hi John, would there be any chance you could share the JavaScript?
I would also really like the survey block added to Rise! I am also trying to establish whether the delegates get to review their answers once they have completed the survey? This is what I would normally get them to do in person when I run this exercise as they need to add up their scores and see in what areas they scored high/low.
Hi Niki! Thanks for adding your voice to this feature request. There isn't any new information on this yet, but we'll keep this thread posted for updates that can help!
In the meantime, a lot of users are using an Embed block to embed a 3rd party form (such as Google Forms) to insert survey questions and track the results.
As for reviewing quiz/survey results, we're tracking requests for this feature as well. We'll update this thread once we have any information on this feature.
Okay, thank you. Fingers crossed!!
One more vote for survey questions and polling!
