Looking into purchasing Articulate 360 and working with Rise. Looks like a great product, benefit being truly responsive design, limitation being a limited feature set.
That said, can someone point me to a good list of the interactive features Rise does offer? I see hotspot interactions. But what about text input boxes or drag/drop interactions, etc.?
Also, how thorough is the LMS integration? Is it generally working as expected in this regard?
This article lists the lesson and block types available in Rise. You can combine lessons and blocks in various configurations to create unique, responsive courses. Here are the lesson types that feel most interactive to me:
Pre-Built Lessons
Labeled Graphic
Sorting Activity
Quiz
Custom Lessons (we call them Blocks)
Accordion
Tabs
Flashcard (Grid or Stack)
Button (and Button Stack)
Knowledge Check
As for LMS integration, you can export Rise courses for AICC, SCORM 1.2, and SCORM 2004 4th Edition learning management systems. Just open your Rise course for editing, click Export in the upper right corner of the screen, and choose an LMS specification. Tin Can API (xAPI) support is coming soon.
We think the best way to get to know Rise is to try it out!
You'll be able to add up to four categories in the Rise sorting activity. I can definitely understand why more categories would be handy, though. I’ll share your suggestion with our development team!
I'm curious, how many categories would you need for your activity? Have you considered building a custom sorting activity in Storyline and embedding it in Rise using a Storyline block?
Thanks for the prompt response. I have a case that calls for 8 categories.
Now, I am not aware of the storyline block. Does this mean I can build anything that SL can do and reuse the component in Rise?
If that’s the case, that certainly answers many people’s concerns about Rise’s limitation.
Hi there, Penelope. Thanks for sharing your link. We found an issue where the sorting activity is not working on mobile devices with iOS 11.3. Does that match your devices?
It looks like this update from Apple has caused issues with drag and drop apps. We've logged a bug report with them as well.
I'll make sure this discussion is tagged to be updated with any new information we get. I'm sorry you've hit this snag, too!
Thanks for checking in, Janet. We haven't seen an update since Crystal's update shared here. As soon as we know more, we'll post that information in this thread. You'll be notified since you're now subscribed!
Will this article be kept updated as new features are added? I've been using it as a quick reference as we look at potential interactions for projects.
I am looking to help my team out learning all the specific of Rise blocks. As an example, the Continue block, is not just for looks- it serves a navigation purpose, especially if used after videos, tabs ect. Is there a list out here that has the block elements and what they do "behind the scenes" so to speak?
There's a guide for Rise 360 which lists all the fundamentals by section. The section in particular that you might find helpful is Lesson and Block Types. It explains each block type and has links to more in-depth articles about each block and its usage!

Thank you Justin, appreciate the reply and look forward to working with 360!
I like Sorting Activity, but it seems that categories can be no more than 4? Is that a limitation?

That's right, Dong! Anything you build in Storyline 360 can be added to a Rise blocks lesson. Just follow these simple steps!
Adding a New Storyline Block:
Hi there!
My challenge is when I use the blocks/ flashcards - on a mobile device - touch screen, it's quite difficult to drag the items to the slot intended.

i tried it on an iphone 6s plus and an ipad.
what's the best solution?
Thanks!

Any update to the issue with iOS 11.3 and Rise drag and drops? Thanks!

Hi Jennifer!
Yes, we'll continue to update that article as new blocks are added. :)
