Why can't I hold progress on a knowledge check question that is answered incorrectly?
- 11 days ago
Hello everyone, 🎉
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360, adding the new feature below:
- Knowledge check blocks can be added directly to question banks, have their content width and answer colors modified, be required for training progress, and have a set number of retries.
There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to export your Rise 360 course again.
Let me know if you have any questions about this update!
Not seeing a lot of answers... because there is no good answer.
Why can't I require that a question be answered to complete a section? It's a fundamental instructional design pattern... why?
If its a priority to provide the functionality to require that an accordion be open to progress... why is it not a priority to require something meaningful be accomplished like answering a question to complete a page block? Let's be real here.
A knowledge check question that just accepts a wrong answer without any requisite control is of little value to my efforts to satisfy the 450,000+ seat annual training audience that I design for... leading me down the dubious path of hacking in a Storyline question instead... hmm.
I would just use a "Quiz" component, but the options for navigating back for material review for each question are non-existent... and the option to add text hints is not a very effective alternative (that just gives them the answer)... we cast a wide net and have effective analytics to lead me to this conclusion.
Any justification for why this is not a priority? I am curious... because requisite control of a knowledge check question really should be in the product already.
If you added this feature, it would be used extensively by your user base... no doubt significantly more than an accordion that forces the student to read information in the form of a drop-down menu.

I second all that is stated above. This seems like a very basic component of instructional design - not only to throw knowledge checks out there, but to ensure that learning has actually occurred by requiring a correct response before moving forward. Ideally, being able to review the content the user missed and then being required to answer the question correctly to ensure this learning has occurred is pretty basic and should be an option.
Also, I'm curious as to why a perfectly executed message containing nothing more than constructive feedback is "flagged" by the forums. Is constructive feedback not welcome to discuss with other users on these forums?
