Text entry blank in Rise
Jan 11, 2018
I'm developing some material and the project owner has asked about the feasibility of allowing end users to input text which could be reported back to our LMS. We'd then view the entered text and use the information to direct future training efforts. I had to tell the owner this isn't possible now but that I'd ask if something like this was forthcoming. Are there any plans for adding text entry as a block/interaction/quiz option?

Hi Justin,
We're always looking at new quiz question types, and I appreciate you letting us know that a text entry question is important for your courses. It sounds like you're looking for a free response question with no correct answer, is that correct?
I'm happy to pass along this idea for you!
Thank you Alyssa.
Hello,
Has this been implemented at all since this post? I am looking to do the same thing with no correct answer :)
Hi Annabelle,
Do you need to capture the data from learner responses? If not, you could always build a free response question in Storyline and embed it in Rise using a Storyline Block.
Hi Annabelle,
We require to capture results from learner responses using text entry questions. Can this be done in Rise?
Thanks,
Matt
Hey Matthew!
This isn't a feature in Rise yet, but thanks for letting us know it's important to you. It's always helpful to know how in-demand a feature is.
Thanks for letting us know how we can make Rise even better for your needs!
Hi Alyssa,
I'd like to capture text responses to a video / audio file I'm embedding in a course. Just as the questions above I'll just need to be able to collect this data and not score it. Can I create something in Storyline and them have this fed through to our LMS? So far all we've done is record success or incomplete so this will be something new.
Love RISE it's all I use for my course development atm.
Hi Lionel,
A Storyline quiz in Rise can be used for tracking purposes, including the score, but it won't send individual quiz question data to your LMS.
Rise does have a Fill in the Blank question type, but it sounds like that won't be enough space for your learners to type? I do know a few other folks have asked for a "Survey block" where learners could enter in a larger amount of text. If that would fit your needs I can let our team know that there is another vote for it!
+1 for this. Is there a current workaround? I see other people mentioning building out the open-ended response type in Storyline and including it as a block in Rise, but would the responses be captured by the LMS?
Great question, Joel. While you can send a Storyline Block quiz score to the LMS, the individual responses won't be captured by the LMS.
Thanks for letting us know an open-ended response question is important to you, and we'll let you know if this gets added to Rise in the future!
+1 on this! Survey functionality with free text response so desperately needed. Or any way to capture free-text responses. Especially where organisations don't allow access to external sites.
Any update on this feature?
Thanks, Kershia. You made a good point about not allowing access to external sites, so I'll pass that along to our team as well.
Hi, +1 for an open ended/free text question. Also another thing that would be good but maybe a bit more technical would be to have an audio recorded answer so when our students what to add a free text answer they could record there response. I see this feature is available the other way around, me or the Lecturer can record audio and build it in for the viewer/student to listen to.
Thanks, Tilt for adding your voice! That really helps our team as they prioritize features and new ideas for Rise.
For the recorded response, are you imagining that they'd record directly in Rise? How would that recording be passed to an LMS for you to listen to it? Do you know of any examples that I could share with the team? If you'd prefer you can also send them more detail through a feature request!
Hi, I would also appreciate a free text entry type question, for which responses could be recorded in the LMS. That would help meet some needs. Thanks!
Has there been any movement as far as adding this feature? Based on this thread, there is a clear demand. I think that Rise is a great product and I would like to promote it throughout my organization, but the lack of flexibility with things like this and font coloring/sizing are frustrating my customers and making it difficult for me to gain buy-in at the leadership level.
+1 to this feature having a huge impact on course building. Is it on the product map at all? Knowing that it might be coming by end-of-year or in 6-months would be greatly appreciated.
Agreed. If I could tell my customers "I expect this functionality to be available Q1 2019", they'd be more understanding than if I tell them "We'll I've let the vendor know this is something you'd like."
Hi Justin and Laura,
I'll keep you posted here as soon as we have more information on if this feature will be released to Rise. We don't have a roadmap, but our team does update the “What’s New” page with upcoming popular features and changes, so that's another place to learn more about additions before they come out in Rise.
Thanks for adding your voice, as that does help us understand what features are critical for authors and ensures we're building tools that fit your needs and that you love.
YES! +1 on this. I am in need of this for my course.
+1 on this. Would be useful for the learner to capture notes as they take the course.
+1 on what Kershia said.
+1 on this. I totally agree with Joe and everyone else on this thread.
If you insert a 360 open text question slide for feedback or space for the learner, will it save in Rise the next time a learner opens the file? I want to use Rise for an interactive workbook; but if I can't save my entries it will not function.
