Text entry blank in Rise
I'm developing some material and the project owner has asked about the feasibility of allowing end users to input text which could be reported back to our LMS. We'd then view the entered text and use the information to direct future training efforts. I had to tell the owner this isn't possible now but that I'd ask if something like this was forthcoming. Are there any plans for adding text entry as a block/interaction/quiz option?

Is there a workaround? I need learners to be able to enter reflection text - no correct or incorrect answers - and I don't care if it reports back to the LMS. Is there a way to get rid of the X that appears in Rise "Fill-in-the-blank"? That would also help solve my issue. Thanks!
+1 ! would be very much appreciated
+1 on this. Text entry in a Storyline quiz block doesn't help without the ability to report to the LMS.
Thank you Christina, Carl, Ashley, Nikoleta, Chris and Joan for lending you voices to this discussion.
Ashley, there's no way to remove that X for now, but if that's something you'd like to see, please do submit a feature request here.
+1 for a free entry text question/survey of some kind in Rise - is there any update on this?
Hi Lauren,
Thanks for reaching out!
I don’t currently have any updates, but you are now subscribed to this conversation which means as we share updates here, you’ll automatically be notified.
I'll add my voice to this feature-request choir for greater freeform text entry...thanks!
Thanks for your feedback! Our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I will make sure your voice gets added to the discussion.
Me too please on the text entry question and the survey thingie :)
Being able to have learners write in text and/or record their voice -and allowing us to then connect responses to the learner - would be an extremely helpful feature.
We're using Rise exported as xAPI communicating with an LRS (Learning Locker). One thing we added is the ability for the user to answer a question where there is no correct or incorrect answer, we just wanted the user to be able to answer.
The answer is stored in the LRS. When the user opens the Rise course again, it retrieves the information from the LRS and displays it inside the text entry block as "Last Response: ". If you wish, you could enter something else and overwrite the previous one.
This is not an out-of-the-box Rise feature, it's an add-on JavaScript after exporting the Rise course but it doesn't require any programming to add. Again, only works if you're using xAPI and an LRS.
That's amazing! Any way you'd be willing to share your javascript for this?
What we're trying to do is have a reflection question text-entry in a Storyline block in Rise that sends the user's answer to an LRS. We would like to have a record of all the reflections and even maybe compile them into a PDF at the end of the course for each user but are not sure how to do this.
Hi Mandla,
Sure! The current version will save the text entry in a statement. I could add the functionality to retrieve all your reflections at the end and create a PDF on the fly for download. Connect with me at olahzsolt@hotmail.com .

If only this would work on an LMS, it would cure my headache :)
