Just had a quick questions, does Rise have the ability to automatically play the audio block once the page loads as opposed to the learner clicking on the play icon?
Haven't found it. I've worked through how this could function as in Canada, more so Ontario, it's law for accessibility compliance. So from a tech point of view and with this vertical format I see two options. One having the abilty for each block to have an audio button. Seems easy.
The second would be for audio to be triggered by Y coordinate access. So whatever is within the users screen view, say at center point, would be read aloud. Never seen this in existence, but that's how I'd code it.
I've seen a few requests for auto-play audio blocks here in the community, so I'll bring up the idea with our team again. When we first released Rise, the auto-play feature was something we shied away from--Adam explains why here. We like to to keep these discussions going and evaluate changes along the way, as Rise is continually evolving!
That I get, as it's not a common feature of web sites. But we need to find a solid way to support accessible users. For many training departments in Canada, we are supposed to by law. So I think we could get by if we could apply (subtly) a click to hear button on a text block.

I hear you, James. This kind of information is really helpful for us--thanks for adding your voice!
Yes! I am running into a similar situation here as well! Great idea!
Thanks!
Mike :)
