Hi. Is it possible to add an open, blank text field in a lesson on Rise 360? I would like users of my course to be able to write reflective comments as I pose questions.
For those that use H5P, you can use the Essay activity. Here users can enter their text and the activity will identify key words used and award a score. Or you can disable that and just provide feedback text.
Note however that - because this is embedded - written content will not be stored.
I agree with this too. Sometimes, we just want them to lay down their responses without being restricted to the way they want to express their responses. A simple preposition and whatnot can lead to an incorrect answer, i.e. update your profile vs update a profile.
Nevertheless, I'm really hoping that Articulate will finally release a long text entry as a block.
I agree with all of the above. It seems that the easier work around would be to adjust the knowledge check for 'fill in the blank'. Give the option to for the user to fill in their self-reflection and it be recorded and saved. Adjust it so no 'feedback' has to be given, and any 'answer' is acceptable.
I am looking to create a open text entry question In Rise that provides feedback, and it still is not possible. I feel there is high limitations still with the Knowledge Checks in Rise...These seem to have been noted for quite some time but currently remain the same. The workaround with storyline still is a difficulty that probably should have been amended by now, as we are dealing with lesson development that seems to lack many options of testing a users knowledge...is storyline import the best way around getting an open text entry into Rise?
Hi Ronan! We're still tracking requests for this feature. Rest assured that we'll share it here as soon as we have updates. In the meantime, you can try to embed a third-party survey, like Survey Monkey or Google Forms as an alternative option to Storyline. I hope this helps!
This is a very telling thread. Three years of steady requests for what customers/course designers expect to be a standard feature, and three years of the feature not being added. Looking at the list of planned/in-development features, it looks like there's a disconnect here: several of the planned features are focused on how the course looks, while course designers are requesting more attention to *how* course participants learn and engage with the course. This really gives the impression that the company's priorities are out of sync with customer/potential customer priorities. Anyone currently entering the learning & development profession is learning about the importance of engagement-based learning, with open-ended questions and reflection exercises. This is especially increasing in adult and corporate learning. Three years of "We'll think about it" is really out of step with what is now a standard customer expectation.
Hi, I'm in need of this too! I embedded a TypeForm but I have to have it as a separate lesson because the embed always jumpts to the top of the page - so I can't have it as the 4th block in a lesson, for example. I think Darren's idea of Articulate adjusting the fill in the blank question is a great one!
Similar to Andrea, I've been following several posts with this request, and it has not been addressed in years. Is this a feature that is in the works yet?
Having a free text box where a learner can put their own reflections or predictions is a really important tool for retention of training. It looks like it was first requested 9 years ago, fingers crossed it will be added soon! I think Darren's suggestion sounds like a great idea to solve the challenge.
I won't hold my breath though, given this was raised over 4 years ago without any progression. The short answer question and long answer question is one of the most common question types. I expect you have a very good reason for not including this from the start. I would be very interested in understanding why it hasn't been deployed.

Aha! Thanks for clarifying Darren. That is a good idea. Let's hope the update is made soon :)

in favour for this functionality it Rise 360 :)
+ 1!

Also would like to see the Fill in the Blank field adjusted to account for free text responses without the Incorrect/Correct feedback.

The open text entry feature would be great to see added!
I, too, would love an open text entry feature to facilitate reflective questions!
Just to add my request for this functionality, it can be used as an activity to help learners embed and reflect. Look forward to seeing an update.
Yes, please add this feature ASAP! I just assumed that would be an option...
Please add this open text field, with the option for it to be reviewed to Rise 360!

I'll add my voice to the choir of users asking for a free-form text box in Rise...
We need this feature as well--a free-form text box in Rise
Just endorsing Darren McKinnon's suggestion from a year ago: "... adjust the "Fill-in-the-Blank" Knowledge Check to have an accept ANY answer option."
Ideal state would be an open, free-form text box as many others have requested, but this would surely be a low-bar temporary workaround?
Articulate, where are you on this?

I am also wanting an extended response/text box option with the ability for the learner to download/print their responses.
I just submitted another product feature request. Fingers crossed.

Hi Heather! Thanks for adding your voice to this request. We'll keep you posted if we make changes that will help.
While Darren's suggestion is a great idea, Renz also shared a possible workaround here which can be a good alternative. I hope this helps!
I would like to see this feature made available.
