Flash cards size

Oct 19, 2018

Hi, can you please look into adjust the formatting controls on text in the flash cards. At the moment there is such a small space to write text and most is lost in unseen borders. There are also many occasions where the last line of the text starts to fade out but it is not long enought to activate the scroll bar, so you can never see the words fully.

Can we look at adjusting the size of the box when is flips so there is no scroll bar as this is a pain on such a small space, or adjusting the margins or font formats easier. I realise the idea would be nt tohave too much text but with large margins it's hard to manage.

Hi Tom, this is a good (but time consuming) work around. I was wondering if I need to put an alt text on this image for screen readers?

Hi Libby,

Yes, you can add alt text to the image. Just click on Edit and then Edit alt tag (see screenshot). I hope that helps! :)

I also am not a fan of the text fading when you mouse over the image. Going to create a feature request for it, too.

Thanks for your feedback, Annie! It sounds like having the option to remove the text fade on hover would benefit you. I'll pass that along to my team!

There is a workaround to get rid of the text fade on hover, but it requires editing the main CSS file in the published course every time you export from Rise. If you're interested, do try the following steps. If your course was exported into a zip file, you'll need to unzip it first.

In the published course, open the file scormcontent/lib/main.bundle.css in a text editor. The file location may be different if your course is not SCORM.
Search for this text:
.block-flashcard__content{opacity:.7}
and replace it with this:
.block-flashcard__content{opacity:1}
Save the file.
Zip the package for your LMS or otherwise deploy as you typically would.

Is there a way to change the overall size of the flashcards? I know if you add more than 2 in a row, they become much smaller. Ideally I'd like to retain that smaller size but only have 2 flashcards -- is that possible? Right now I am using two rows of flashcards to have a 2x2 grid look, but they take up so much real estate. Thanks!

Hi Cat,

Flashcard sizes are not customizable in Rise 360. If you want more control over the design, consider building the interaction in Storyline 360 and embedding it in your Rise lesson as a Storyline Block!

This flashcard interaction template is a good place to start.

Hi tom, i tried this but it looked pixelated when in Rise flashcard

If you use a vector image you won't get any pixelation. Unfortunately, bitmap images are based on pixels and whether you scale up or down outside of their specific resolution there will be some degradation.

Same issue here. I'd like the flashcards sizable to preference. They are larger if you only use one or two, but when you get three, it's significantly smaller. :(

Can we resize the flash card, so that it occupies 3/4 or 1/2 of the screen?

Hi Gargi,

There isn't a way to customize the size of flashcards in Rise 360. You can create a flashcard interaction in Storyline 360, and add it in Rise 360 as a Storyline block. Give it a try, and let us know how it goes!
