Characters

Hiya, Martha!  Thanks for sharing your needs here.  I'll pass along your experience to the folks in charge of character creation!

Wait! Did I miss something? Are characters in the image library now available for Rise?

Found this old discussion when searching for information about using characters in Rise. Thought I'd try reigniting it. Please let me know if I should post elsewhere. 

I'm using Rise to build an overview that will happen before peer-led training. As part of that overview I need to introduce the high-level process. I'm using the process interaction in Rise and am giving context by using a simple scenario. "Meet Carlos... he's... let's see how he does this..." kind of thing. I'd love to use characters to get some continuity in the images I include in the mini-scenario/process. Sadly they're not available.

While I don't personally have a use for this feature, I endorse its inclusion. Many Articulate customers either work in the healthcare field or have clients who are in that field. Having a few child characters would be useful for them. It goes with out saying that the same is true for primary and secondary education customers.

Thanks, Leah and Justin. We haven't add the photographic or illustrated characters to Rise yet, but you could add them to a Storyline course and add that as a block into Rise. You could also insert into Storyline and choose "Save as picture" to use that character as an image in your Rise courses. 

Upvote for more age diversity in Characters!   I get that it may be hard to have young children do the necessary poses, but perhaps something like an 8-12yr and a 13-18 range with three or four models for each would be great for us. Also, there are very limited 60+ characters (three I believe, 1 female) a couple more would be great. (Developing for age-friendly community training, healthcare, etc.).  Thanks!

I agree, the company I work for is in healthcare with people as young as infants up to elderly!  This would be a great support for our training. 

Thanks!

Thanks for chiming in with your feedback, Jason and Eric! It helps us to know how in-demand these characters are. 

Another vote to continue adding characters with diversity - ages for sure but also skin colour and ethnicity. We have a lot of Asian employees at our client locations and having more who represent various cultures would be amazing.

I appreciate your insight, Leah!
