Today we released the scenario block for Rise 360, and we think you’re going to love it.
Now you can easily add branching scenarios featuring Content Library 360 characters to Rise 360 projects. Just drop dialogue, responses, and feedback into a scenario block to walk learners through choices and their consequences. And because it’s Rise 360, your scenario will look stunning on any device.
See the new scenario block in action:
Learn more about working with the scenario block and explore an example in Trina’s article. We can’t wait to see what you create with this new block type!
Using Storyline 360 for that kind of screen recording interaction is your best bet. You can even embed the Storyline slides seamlessly in your Rise lesson by hiding the player.
Thanks sharing that you need more characters in the Scenario Block text fields - we're tracking every request we receive! While we don't have plans to extend the character limit right now, we'll let you know if that changes.
Hi Alyssa! I am still baffled as to why adding to the character limit is not in the plan. A large number of people clearly want this, and there are feasible options to grant these requests.
The limit on characters makes what could be an AMAZING scenario block superficial at its best. If we can add more characters, AT LEAST to the “text block” then we can add depth to the content.
I’ve worked at 3 companies and I cannot imagine using this tool for training in the various customer-facing or teammate processes we follow without having to spend precious hours trying to truncate the verbiage.
I am currently using it in two courses, and when I show it to my teammates and clients, they SHOULD be like, “Wow that is incredible!” they end up responding like, “Cool, I guess” because it quickly becomes clear that the benefit of the learning is seriously limited by how few characters you allow.
Hi there, Rebecca. Thank you for taking the time to make a thoughtful video. I've included it on our report where we are tracking requests for increasing the character limit on scenario blocks.
in the left hand column if you select the scenario end scene, then when the scene loads choose the expression from the dropdown - do you not get this option?
Perhaps you accidently deleted it when adding more content or scenes. You can recreate it by adding content - then changing it from dialogue to text and then adding a Goto: End Scenario.
Hope that helps
Oops I didn't refresh to see Alyssa had responded -what she said ;-)
It sounds like Content 1.4 is dialogue content, is that right?
If so, do not choose "End Scenario" as where the learner will go next for any of the responses. This will bring the learner to the default "Scenario Complete" screen that can't be changed.
Instead, choose "Next in Scene" or a particular content number, like 1.5.
If you're still struggling, please send me a fullscreen screenshot of Content 1.4, similar to the screenshot above. Thanks!
Adding to the voices asking for more characters to make this block more meaningful. When using this to build learning pieces to support customer service, I'm abbreviating suggested responses so much that it makes the response not meaningful from a learning standpoint, especially when talking about problem resolution. More characters please!
Scenario Blocks are text-only, so there's not a way to add audio or video to the scenario. Thanks for sharing what you'd like to see in future updates!
While there isn't a way to go to a background immediately after the learner selects an answer, you can use a new background each time you create a new scene. Here's a short video demo of how you can change backgrounds between questions.
Can you please extend the character/word limits on this block? It is so restrictive with only 200 characters when trying to have engaging dialog examples

Ah, that makes sense Erika!
Using Storyline 360 for that kind of screen recording interaction is your best bet. You can even embed the Storyline slides seamlessly in your Rise lesson by hiding the player.
The easiest way to completely hide the Storyline player before you publish to Review 360 is to 1) choose the modern player style, 2) turn off the menus and controls, and 3) select the light player theme.
Great new feature, but I also think 200 characters is way too limiting for the scenario text fields. Can we adjust this in any way??
Thanks
Graham

Here’s a screen capture of my proposal and I think I make a pretty good case: https://youtu.be/lrFq9lWple8
I honestly don’t think this is just a passing desire from a few instructional designers. I think this is a serious deal-breaker for this feature.
Thank you for your time!
Hi there, Rebecca. Thank you for taking the time to make a thoughtful video. I've included it on our report where we are tracking requests for increasing the character limit on scenario blocks.
Hi, I still don't see the answer to how to change the character's expression in the End Scenario screen.
Thanks
Hi Wendy
in the left hand column if you select the scenario end scene, then when the scene loads choose the expression from the dropdown - do you not get this option?
No I don't. That doesn't even come up as an option. There is no scenario end
Hi Wendy!
Please watch this short video that explains how you can add Scenario End content back into your scenario. Let me know if that helps you!
Perhaps you accidently deleted it when adding more content or scenes. You can recreate it by adding content - then changing it from dialogue to text and then adding a Goto: End Scenario.
Hope that helps

Hi, I followed your instructions and it still is taking me to a page that
says Scenario Complete that I can't find in scenario menu.
So, I put Scenario End as 1.5 and in 1.4 clicked the "1.5" vs end scenario
button. Do you know why I can't fix that? Thanks a ton for your help.

Agreed the limitation in text responses mean we can't utilise this great feature. I will have to build it in storyline instead.

That's not helpful. The demo video above doesn't have an intentionally blurred background.
Is there a way to add a audio in that?
Hi Chandra! Great question. Scenarios are text-only interactions, so there's not a way to add audio or video.
Thanks Alyssa for the update.
Hi, Can we add audio in the scenario, on each dialog the audio will play in sync with dialogs in scenario?
Please help on this.
Hi Salim,
Scenario Blocks are text-only, so there's not a way to add audio or video to the scenario. Thanks for sharing what you'd like to see in future updates!
The character limit in the responses is really frustrating. I would love to use this feature, but it's very limiting.
The new scenario block is amazing! Is there a way to jump to a new background as soon as the user makes a choice?
I'm searching for a solution like this for my blog. It will help me a lot.
