I would love to have a section that could be reachable at any point in the course for users to make notes or to comment? Has anybody seen any work arounds? Seems like a HUGE feature request, its just that our case studies and focus groups are showing that the end user want's to be able to make notes.
Appreciate the help in Storyline 2. We have been able to do this in the past, but would really like to have a fully responsive learning experience for this project. We love the full flexibility/customization of Storyline 2 but the huge hurtle is the responsiveness.
I have yet to see a workaround in Rise that matches your description, but I know that many folks have accomplished it in Storyline 2 as you mentioned. I'm curious if you looked at how your Storyline courses behaved in the new responsive player that's a part of Storyline and Studio 360? Although it's not the same responsive set up as Rise, it's been receiving great feedback about how streamlined it is and the ease of use on a mobile device. You may want to take a look at the general FAQs on the responsive player here to get started.
As for the idea of notes inside Rise, it's certainly a great concept for our team to investigate further, and we love to see those ideas here in ELH and also you're welcome to submit them as a feature request here! I'd love to know a bit more about what you're looking to see with this feature - would the notes be just for the user, or something reported to the LMS? Are they accessible only while in the course, or would you want a way for users to export or print them out?
Thanks again for sharing and hope you're enjoying everything else that Articulate 360 offers!
I would agree with the request for note taking. This is coming from the L&D space for corporate training. We're looking to replace content created with iBooks Author which allows annotation for the students to study for tests, etc. and would love it if Rise offered the same!
Thanks for letting us know this feature is important to you, Robert! We're still tracking the popularity of this request, and we'll let you know if it is added to our roadmap.
You can keep up with all of the new and exciting features we're adding to Rise right here!
I know this thread was a while ago, but was this feature ever added to Rise? If not, the workaround may be to create a notes box within storyline and them import it into Rise. I'm not 100% competent in Rise just yet, but the preliminary test I did seemed to work.
We don't have a Notes feature or large text entry in Rise yet, although we're keeping on eye on the number of requests for it! That helps our team as they plan out new features, so I'll add your voice!
In the meantime, you could create the block in Storyline with a text entry field. Those notes would be kept solely for the user as a Storyline block in Rise won't report the individual answers/question data to a Learning Management System (LMS).
We would love it if the note taking feature within a Rise course so that the learner can save and print or at least reference somehow throughout the course.
I add my voice to the voting on the Note section, so it can be transferred to the LMS as a user input from Rise. We would like to have a feedback field for user input at the end of our course. Thank you!
I totally agree that we need the notes features in Rise, the ebook I have to create is very simple to create in Rise, but a lot more challening in Storyline 360. It would just make it so much easier to just be able to have the feature in Rise. For example our work is basically 80% content and 20% note taking and it is going to take me forever to set it up in Storyline 360 compared to Rise.
I would love to be able to add a notes feature in rise. It would be invaluable for our learners to be able to take notes during their classes as well as recall the notes for future use, even if only viewable to the learner.
This Rise notes feature would be great so we won't have to use the Storyline block workaround. Looking forward to have this feature... Hopefully soon! ;)
Note taking, journaling would be a fantastic addition. Something that would allow the learner to interact with a concept/question and have their responses available each time they revisit the course.
Please add my vote too! Would be super helpful to have this feature, for our users to be able to write down their thoughts for reflection questions, etc.

Hey Cindy,
Our BLOG entry from November 2015 offered one solution you may want to consider. http://www.thearticulatetrainer.com/how-can-i-create-a-space-for-learners-to-write-notes-in-my-course/
Actually - I just realized this thread was a RISE thread - sorry - the solution I posted was for Storyline.
Thanks Ron.

Thanks for your feedback! Our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I will make sure your voice gets added to the discussion.
This would be an invaluable tool in Rise. Especially for more complex learning. Add my vote too! :) Thanks
Will do, James! :)
Seriously needed with transfer to LMS . I guess this would be precursor to form creation within Rise. Thank you Allison.
Thanks for the feedback, Chris!
+1 please
I would vote for this feature too

Note taking and saving them in the LMS would be very useful indeed. Please add my vote.
