I've still been exploring Rise and am developing a course in which I have mainly been using blocks. However, I would really like to be able to use some of the pre-built lessons within a lesson--especially the Quiz element. I know you've recently added the knowledge testing block, which is helpful, but it would also be great to incorporate the pre-built quiz, sorting activity, and labeled graphic within a lesson created with blocks.
I guess what I'd really like to see is all of those pre-built lessons become block options from which to choose.
So it sounds like you'd like to have some of the standalone lesson types also available within Blocks. That's an interesting idea! Can you tell us more about how you'd use those interactions within Blocks as opposed to separate lessons?
Thanks for responding to my question. The ways that I am envisioning using
the standalone lesson types within a lesson built with primarily with
blocks include: using the Quiz prebuilt less rather than the Knowledge
Testing block; using the sorting activity and the labeled graphic prebuilt
lesson.
I'm working on developing a course for healthy eating and physical activity
that includes a lesson on the USDA's MyPlate guide for eating a balanced
meal. I have envisioned using the labeled graphic to discuss the different
areas of MyPlate, the sorting activity so that learners could select
different foods to make up a healthy meal according to MyPlate, and a final
quiz at the end with appropriate feedback. The knowledge testing block is
helpful for doing interim checks during the lesson, but doesn't allow for
the users to get a score.
In my opinion, it seems that many of the activities that involve
Interactions that are available as pre-built lessons should be included in
the Interaction section of the Building with Blocks design.
Any feedback or suggestions you can provide will be most appreciated!
That makes sense, Martin! That sounds like a really cool concept for a course. Rise is evolving every day, and including the pre-built lesson types into Blocks a neat suggestion. I’m going to forward your thoughts to our product team so we can look into it for the future!
And thanks for adding your voice here, Dawn! The more interest we see, the more we know how in-demand this feature is. :)
I have to second (or third) this request. It is great to be able to add a question or two into blocks, but It would be great to be able to add a quiz which would provide a grade at the end as well.
I would definitely second this - it would be great to be able to have pre-built lessons available as blocks - especially the labeled graphics, processes and sorting activities.
I won't belabor the point and list all the different scenarios I have that I wish I could use blocks and pre-built in the same lesson. So I will just add my vote!!
The pre-built graphic lesson is really restrictive, it will not allow anything to be added after it..even another pre-built lesson. I had to add a new 'lesson' just to have another screen layout which should be in the same lesson.
This is a real sticking "block" (sorry for the pun) for me too. I want all the template interactions available in blocks too...it makes the whole thing much more flexible. Also I would like to be able to choose ANY font for a Rise course as my client has it's own bespoke font but I can't use it!
Thanks, everyone! Feature requests from customers like you contribute to our product roadmap, and it's so helpful for us to know just how in demand this feature is. :)
Leslie, You are correct. I was asking about the combining of pre-built lessons with blocks for rise. Based on the responses that I've seen, it appears that this is a much desired feature among the Rise community.
We are in Q4 - thanks for checking in! Our team has the Labelled graphic lesson type up next to work on creating it as a block, but the timing on that has shifted slightly. Once we have more information on when it'll be ready we'll let you know!
Thanks for the quick reply Ashley. I really hope the Labelled graphic lesson block is not very far. Would love to get the more question type before that though. I hope thats what is pushing other things behind... :)
The labeled graphic block type is up next for our team to work on! We’ve got a few other things that are currently in progress before that, but once we’re able to share an update on this we’ll let you know!
Mary--we're working on a Blocks Lesson template that would allow you to create sections that you could use in multiple locations. In the meantime, you'd want to look at finding the lesson that is the most comprehensive to copy and then delete the pieces you don't need. Take a look at this tutorial.

Hey Martin!
Glad to hear you'e checking out Rise and enjoying the Blocks feature. We agree that Blocks are the best thing since sliced bread. :)

My vote is also in, this would be fantastic!

This really needs to happen. Can see no logic at all for enforcing these to be separate entities.
I thought this was supposed to happen in Q1 of this year. Is there an new ETA for when this option may be available?
Hi Martin! Are you asking about combining the pre-built lessons in Rise? This has a target of Q3 of '17.
Leslie, You are correct. I was asking about the combining of pre-built lessons with blocks for rise. Based on the responses that I've seen, it appears that this is a much desired feature among the Rise community.
Thanks for the update!

No problem at all Marty 😊
You can stay tuned to all the updates and news for Articulate 360 here as well.
Any updates on this one? I think we are in Q4 already.

I'll add my vote! I'd love to have a labeled graphic, sorting activity, and a quiz as a block.
Adding my vote as well! i would love to incorporate the sorting feature into my mostly "block" lesson.
Any update, How soon this feature will be released to mix both the pre-built lessons and Blocks to a lesson in Rise?
It also would be great to be able to duplicate a block to another section.
Hi there folks!
The labeled graphic block type is up next for our team to work on! We’ve got a few other things that are currently in progress before that, but once we’re able to share an update on this we’ll let you know!
