Tips for Using Stacked buttons in Rise

Hi all,  I am working on a course to outline key elements of a new software.  I thought that I would use the Button Stack block to give the learner a choice of which of the three subjects to look at first.  I placed the block in the software, but I cannot figure out how to return to the button stack.  Is this a logical use of the button stack? Most examples I have seen were scenario in nature, where the button stack was used to choose which response, followed by feedback.  Do I need to add the block in after the end of each of the three subject lessons?  Thanks for your advice.

    Hi Kris,

    As you have discovered, using a Button Block to send a Learner to a different Lesson is a one-way trip. There is no built-in way to return to the starting Button Block.

    You would have to add a Button Block in the destination Lesson to get back to the starting point.

      Hi Tom,

      I saw your Rise 360 example for scenarios, and I was curious how you got the image in the first scenario to appear like it's a photograph (with the shadow effect). Thank you in advance!

        Hi Romy,

        The image actually looks likes this:

        The shadow effect is applied outside of Rise in an app like Photoshop.

  • With Articulate 360, you get Studio (which is an add-on to PPT). You can insert the Content Library characters. 

    In this example, I inserted the character on a PPT slide, then applied PPTs image effect and saved the image as PNG.
