I am considering Rise to build a Leadership training course. One of the requirements is to have fill-in-the-blank questions that are open ended i.e. there is no correct or incorrect answers defined. I tried keeping the Acceptable Answers field blank, but that did not work. Does anyone know if this is possible at all in Rise? That is, can users submit their answers (no word limit) without being told whether their responses are correct/incorrect?
Let me also say how useful this feature would be...my university policy does not allow me to use Google forms or survey monkey to capture student answers.
thanks for the reply Alyssa: I removed the text on purpose because in this course we don't want the text 'acceptable answers as a standard reply. We don't want any reply. So that's why we are looking for a solution to remove the colon :
Hi John. Thank you for sharing your success in making this happen. Could you share your process? I am interested in having learners answer open-ended questions as well.
Yes, I'd love this functionality too. We are increasingly using tools like Typeform to deliver courses because they easily allow these open ended questions.
I'm disappointed to find this is still not an option. It is quite common to ask learners reflection questions right inside the module without wanting to capture their responses or offer feedback. Removing the text label on the accepted responses is a start, but then it leaves the strange colon there. Please just give us the option for open-ended questions without feedback (or with the option to just provide general feedback, not correct/incorrect).
It's possible to embed a Storyline essay question, but then it can't be enforced in Rise. I want them to answer something even though I don't plan to grade or capture the response. Embedding a third party tool for this just isn't very streamlined.
I'll add my voice here. This is my first time building a course and I really need an open-ended response option! Rise should be more powerful than Google Forms or Nearpod.
This has been a request for over 3 years. Why are Articulate so unresponsive to user requests? Every time I have an issue with RISE I find many others have the same issues and a request has been made to add the functionality, yet none of the easy wins ever seem to get implemented.
I simply want the ability to ask a Short answer question and provide feedback WITHOUT the Correct or Incorrect image. This will be a very quick fix.. simply add this option to the Feedback selector and hide the image on the page. It will take minutes to code!
Why can't these things get sorted. I am VERY frustrated with Articulate's inability to listen to its users. We are seriously looking at alternatives to RISE, due to so many very minor annoyances that could be fixed easily. What are the road-map team doing?
Would be nice if we could just use * as an answer option to mean any text written (like you do in other LMS platforms). This seems like a simple solution that Rise is completely ignoring.

Hi there, J V. No updates yet.
Thanks Crystal - I trust that that feature request has been brought up and have been followed up on due to demand.
Thank you!

I use the question 'fill in the blank' as a open question with standard feedback.
Since a couple off weeks there is a Colon as response, that colon wasn't there before. How do I get rid of this Colon?
Hello, Anja!
An "Acceptable responses:" label appears below the learner's response. If you remove the "Acceptable responses" label, only the colon ":" will remain.
thanks for the reply Alyssa:

Thanks, Anja. While there isn't a way to remove the colon right now, I appreciate you letting us know you need that option!

Hi John. I just sent you an email. Thank you!

Hi,
I am also interested in learning how you can accept all open-ended questions. Thanks so much :)

This is a serious limitation.

I'm a very frustrated user!
Adding in my voice for this feature!
Any progress?
Hi Alyssa! I'm curious - has this feature been added yet? If not, are there any plans to add it in the future? Thank you!
