Two of those are things I know we've shared with our Product team as possible features: the ability to arrange/align items like text and images inside a lesson and an option to control the sizing of images in Rise. I'll keep you posted on both of those here if they make a Rise update!
For the other request about a pop-up, would you mostly use it to define terms or are there any different setups you can imagine? I'd like to share the idea with my team, and wanted to be sure I captured all your thoughts and scenarios!
Popups are very useful for entering information at a second level of depth. Of course, they are useful for definitions of words, but also to give some extra explanations (or more detailed, or examples, indeed) about technical aspects that were explained in the principal text. Structuring the contents in different levels of depth is a pedagogical resource that I believe is essential in an author tool. Not everything has to be in the foreground!
In an ideal world I agree, but in the context of an authoring tool that creates responsive content I think it may be almost impossible to add alignment that maintains its integrity across multiple devices.
I'm not a programmer though so that's just my opinion.
Sorry I do not agree, David. In fact, there are author tools in the market that makes it possible without any problem in multiple devices visualization.
I only ask as I've seen some tools where you add your content but then have to adjust the layout for PC/tablet/mobile devices, effectively tripling the design work. I like that Rise removes the need for this as it reduces development time and cost.
I've worked with Adapt and Captivate but I've found there is significantly more work involved to develop courses than in Rise. I'd love to check the software you mention out, would you mind letting me know the name please?
Thanks, Soledad for sharing some more detail here. I can share the ideas around popups with my team, and I'd love to share the example where you've seen this text/image setup working as you'd like to see in Rise!
I just submitted a Feature request on your behalf for the pop-up interaction, but if you need to share something privately I'll reach out to you directly via email.

Hi Ashley and thanks for answering,

I've submitted a feature request for a popup previously as it's something that every client I have has asked for in their Rise courses.
Something as simple as the one found here that contains text would be a helpful addition: https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_modal.asp
Well, I really think that it's necessary that the popup can contain text and images. and to be able to align those images with the text.
Cheers.

Do the authoring tools you mention allow for content to be input once or do you have to lay out for each device?
Of course, you only need to input the content once.

I know what you are talking about, David. I'm sending you a private message so you'll can take a look to the software.
Thanks, much appreciated.
It's a pleasure.

Hi Ashely,
Can I email you to send you more information?

All right, Ashley. Looking foward your mail.
