Adjusting size of embedded images in a quiz
In a course built in Rise I added images to my quiz questions from the content library. Is there a way to adjust the size of the images? Right now they are too large and force you to scroll down past the image to see the multiple choice selections.
Thank you...PF
Welcome, Patricia! đź‘‹
Glad you're giving Rise a whirl, and thanks for sharing your insight! While there currently isn't a built-in feature to resize images in the Quiz lessons, I'm going to pass your feature request to our product team!
There may be some alternative ways of accomplishing the same goal, though! With the custom Image & Text block, you can change image sizes to 25%, 50%, and 75%. You can also remove the top and bottom padding (the space between blocks).
Could having that Image & Text above a custom Knowledge Check (multiple choice quiz) block–with the padding removed–help with what you're looking to do? Here's a quick sample course I mocked up, so we can compare the pre-built and custom block options.
Let me know what you think, as I'm happy to keep digging for other possibilities!

Hi Katie, I'm brand new to Articulate and am creating my first course using Rise 360. I've been trying to adjust the image size above my quiz questions but don't see the option to adjust image and text as in your explanation above. Settings takes me to the general quiz settings, and when I select to edit the image I have a limited list of options (attached). Please tell this newbie what she's missing. :)
Hi there Lauren! Great question, and you aren't missing anything! Images in a quiz question don't have resizing options, so you'll want to resize the image using an image editing tool before uploading it to Rise 360.
Let me know if you have more questions about that!

Thanks for your help, Alyssa! It looks like there was previously a resizing option based on the little video above. Bringing back that functionality would be super helpful to liven up quizzes since it's also not possible to add a colour background.
Hey Lauren! The video above is for an Image with Text block, not a quiz question. But thanks for your feature request!

Here's a trick I used... I pulled the image into Photoshop, you can use another similar program. I made the image the size that I wanted, then I created white space next to the image to make it wide. This helped keep the image the size I wanted. I hope that helps.

Hi Kelly, that's super helpful. Thanks! :)

Hi Kelly, thanks for your trick, that sure works well for viewing quizzes on PC.
I'm also struggling with images in quizzes, which just work wonderfully when viewed with mobile devices but are just a little too big (force users to scroll down to view the answer options) when viewed with a bigger monitor.
Also - thank you Katie, creating smaller images with questions below size-adjusted images in lessons looks good, but it doesn't give you the opportunity to have a comprehensive result for a number of questions.
So I'd also be very happy for a solution that handles image size in quizzes more smoothly in different formats.

I too have the frustration where I would really like to use the quiz format with images - but I am put off by the poor usability in desktop view, of forcing the users to scroll to view answer options!
Hello, James. We're tracking requests for image sizing and cropping tools, and I'll let you know here if we add any changes that will help!

Hi there,
The frustration of having engaging content vs having it be user friendly can be solved by Articulate by:
-minimizing the size of the image on the master block or
-reducing the amount of whitespace between answers so that a user can see and submit a question without the scroll and also without forcing content authors to leave images out completely (this layout is forcing us to choose between the two).
Kelly's idea is great (thank you!), if you have one size however, not when using different screen sizes the fixed position of the pictures on a tablet or iPhone is bizarre looking lol.Any update on this is appreciated!
Hi folks! We just released a really cool feature to help with cropping your images. Find out more here.
Let me know how that works for you!
