NEW IN RISE 360: Scenario Block

Would like to add company characters. Will this be added later?

Is this content accessible for screen readers?

As with all things Rise, this is an excellent starting point.  I am sure Articulate will take into consideration feedback and will add options in the future.  I would like to see the ability to add audio, custom images, and custom characters.  I am in the K-12 world, not the corporate world, so some kid-friendly characters would be nice.  Even leveraging the illustrated characters would be a good way to create scenarios because you could leverage some illustrated backdrops that would fit.  

I agree, Anthony Goss, add-ons will grow as feature requests are listed. Nonetheless, while Articulate was taking its time, we explored this with H5P which, not only lets you add your own characters but even videos for dilemmas. So far, so very good with this option. UX and UI are intuitive and ample documentation online. H5P also provides a friendly diagram to make the branching visually easier to build. I don't work for H5P, nor do I benefit from this note - just helping others who were in my situation as well. The videos add a lot to the branching scenarios - they also integrate will all major LMS platforms. Just an idea.

I was really excited about the Rise 360 scenario block but now it seems that you are unable to use your own characters.. The characters and expressions available are really naft (sorry!) and the variety of clothing/ages/expressions is very limited.   

Have I missed something - Is there an option to use your own charter?

The new scenario block is amazing! Is there a way to jump to a new background as soon as the user makes a choice? For instance, my character is standing in the office lobby. If the user chooses to have her take the stairs (instead of the elevator), I'd like to immediately display the character looking happy on the second floor.

I just wanted to provide some feedback that limiting the interactions to 150-200 characters is extremely hard to write good content for. For instance, I'm using this to teach my call center staff how to properly acknowledge and preface but it's so limiting on text that I can't properly articulate what they should be saying as the reps. Any plans to increase the character limits? 

Loving this new feature! Is there any way to edit the pose/expression of the character on the main scene settings?  For example, I can edit Laura's expression and pose for text and dialogue, but she defaults with the headset on for the opening/closing of the scene. I've also noticed if I add a new scene, there is no way to edit the scenario end display for a new scene.

This a great move. However, branching activities are not just people based and we use the map of Australia to then branch content specific to state teams. It would be great if RISE could do this somehow incorporating hotspot points into branching.

In addition, being able to add our own characters and other objects  would help 

Will the feedback boxes be updated so they don't look like dialogue balloons. It's a little strange that during an interaction (customer / sales associate) the feedback looks like its coming from the customer avatar - and you can't add new content like "text" to an existing dialogue scene.
