I was wondering if anyone has an elegant solution for polling within a Rise course? The Knowledge Check and Quiz features don't work well as the KC can be taken again and again and the Quiz requires a 'right' and 'wrong' answer and then displays your percentage at the end.
At the moment I'm embedding a Google Form, however, this is also imperfect as I am unable to limit number of responses (this functionality is contingent on logging in to Google).
I know this is a post from a year ago but I just searched for this as I am trying to embed poll everywhere to Rise but have no clue how to do that... Would someone be able to help?
Something is not working. I get an error message to enter a valid URL or iframe. I might be doing something incorrectly... This is how I try to enter it:
Clearly, I am doing something wrong. I have never used poll everywhere before so am trying to figure this all out. Thank you so much for your patience!! ;-)
Unfortunately not. There does not seem to be a way to change the height of the embed block or the embedded item, just the responsiveness of the width. My survey still requires users to scroll.
I'm a new Articulate user wondering if any clear instructions exist for how to build social polling into a Rise or Storyline lesson. I'd like to know if it's a smooth process or an aggravation and best to avoid for a beginner. I've seen some branching scenario examples on Elucidat where users make choices in the scenario and then see how many other people answered the way they did. Is there a clear way to do this in Articulate products?
Since each person's experience with a course made with Rise 360 or Storyline 360 is a 1-to-1 interaction with the content, you'd need to embed a 3rd party polling tool to allow them to see polling results.
Does anyone in the community have a favorite polling tool they use that has worked well embedded in your Rise 360 (or Storyline!) lesson?
Subscribing to this thread, because polling is what I've been calling the "missing feature" of tools like Captivate and Rise for a while now.
I used to use a phenomenal little embeddable polling platform called Wedgies, but they were bought out by another company and the service utterly vanished.
I've spent a fair amount of time looking for a viable alternative, but there are very few services that are embeddable, unlimited, and attractive with white label branding options without also costing a fortune (if you know otherwise, PLEASE share). About the best compromise that I've found is poll-maker.com, but I don't love it.
In the meantime, I've begun hosting a Wordpress integration called TotalPoll from TotalSuite.net. The license is pretty affordable, and you need to have a mild amount of technical savvy to get everything situated. This allows me to create, manage, embed, and monitor my own polls for use in Articulate Rise projects as an iframe. Here's an example of what it looks like in action.
Has anyone had trouble viewing embedded Excel Forms in mobile format? When I embed an Excel Form and open up the Rise training on the computer, it works perfectly.
However, when I'm on my phone, rather than seeing the form itself I see the symbol for Excel Forms and have to open it in a separate window. Are there any solutions for this?

Happy to help you, Dorota!
First, insert a multimedia embed block. Click the Edit button, then click Change. Now you'll see a field where you can insert an iFrame code.
Use the formula
<iframe src="URL"></iframe>. Just replaceURLwith the link for the Poll Everywhere content you want to embed.Let me know how it goes!
Hi, Alyssa-
Something is not working. I get an error message to enter a valid URL or iframe. I might be doing something incorrectly... This is how I try to enter it:
<iframe src="https://PollEv.com/free_text_polls/EC0Trq5SnlLOOjmfL49ek/web"></iframe>
Thank you so much!!
Hi Dorota! Can you send me the direct link to the poll? I'll try and create a new iFrame code. Thanks!
Thank you, Alyssa!
Here's the link: https://PollEv.com/free_text_polls/EC0Trq5SnlLOOjmfL49ek/web
Hi Dorota!
When I opened that link, I see a blank page with a dark blue background. Is that what you're seeing too?
Hmm...how about this: https://www.polleverywhere.com/free_text_polls/EC0Trq5SnlLOOjmfL49ek
Clearly, I am doing something wrong. I have never used poll everywhere before so am trying to figure this all out. Thank you so much for your patience!! ;-)
Hi Dorota! I'm going to send you an email on this. Stay tuned!
Has there been any progress on this?
PollEverywhere is an Embedly content provider which the Articulate support page states should work seemlessly. Attempting to either put https://PollEv.com/surveys/V4Vrqibzou3vTWFjpVVAs/respond or <iframe src="https://PollEv.com/surveys/V4Vrqibzou3vTWFjpVVAs/respond"></iframe> returns an error asking for a "valid URL".
Hey there, JR. The URL and embed code are working for me here in this mock-up.
What browser are you using? Is there any difference if you use another supported browser (Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Safari)?
Well now that's confusing, but makes me hopeful it'll work. Still not working on my end with <iframe src="https://PollEv.com/surveys/V4Vrqibzou3vTWFjpVVAs/respond"></iframe>
Mac OS 10.14 on any of the following: Chrome v78.0.3904.97, Safari v13.0.3, or Firefox v70.0. I've attached an image of the attempt.
Thanks for your help
Hi JR!
Try copying the iFrame code below, and paste it into the Multimedia Embed block field.
<iframe src="https://pollev.com/surveys/V4Vrqibzou3vTWFjpVVAs/respond"></iframe>Let me know if that works!
Now that did the trick! Thanks Alyssa. Did RISE just not like "PollEv" (with capitals) vs. "pollev" (without Capitals)?
Looks like that was the problem, JR! Glad we could solve it.
Have you figured out how to scale short polls? Even a short 3 question poll leaves users scrolling.
Unfortunately not. There does not seem to be a way to change the height of the embed block or the embedded item, just the responsiveness of the width. My survey still requires users to scroll.

You are a goddess! Thank you so much that helped!

Hi Anna!
Would you be able to send us your course Share link so we can test the Excel form from our side?
If that works for you, you can send it privately by opening a case.
Hi Alyssa, thank you for the response. I opened up case number 02331437. Thank you!
Thank you, Anna! Your case is in the right place, and one of our Support Engineers will contact you shortly!
