Is there a way to change the colours on these rectangles (for the sake of confusion, didn't want to call them Blocks!) ... being on a white background, the light grey doesn't stand out too much. For example ...
Whether a darker border is used around the rectangles, or even just the arrow tip in the selected colour used in the course, something to help identify these rectangles would be great.
Hi Adam! How would this work for those who use a screen reader? I love all of the choices and options that Rise offers--especially as it continues to grow. I do know that there are many who still cannot use it as Rise is still difficult to be AA standard or 508 compliant.
Hi Adam, Is there a way to apply this feature when selecting the Interactive / Knowledge Check feature in the Block Library design? I can only use these different question types when creating a separate quiz?
This feature has not yet been added to the Knowledge Check Block Greg. It's been released as a new quiz question type as you may have seen in Adam's video linked above.
This is quite timely! Now I can dump the Storyline block I was using to provide this interaction.
Kudos!
Like above, stated by Mike, I'd love the option to modify the theme / coloring of the interaction elements. I'd also love to see the ability to customize the interaction behavior. For example setting an order for the "match" element that is constant - Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, etc.
Thanks Dorte! I know the quiz questions as a block type has come up a few times, and it's something our team is discussing!
If it makes the roadmap for Rise, we'll let folks know here and often these popular requests are featured on our “What’s New” page as they near completion.
I am trying to use the matching question to have the learner put something in order. On the right, I numbered 1 through 5, 1 being the top and 5 the bottom. They are supposed to drag items to their proper place, top to bottom.
Problem: The quiz is set to NOT shuffle answers, yet when I view the matching questions, both the choice & match columns are in a different order every time.
How can I fix this? Or, better yet, can your dev team add an "sequence drag and drop" quiz question option???
Hey Greg - I think what you mean to say is that those question types are only available in quizzes and not as questions in blocks. That is currently true. In the future we'll have all question types available as blocks too.
I am new to Rise but what I want to know is why can't developers use the pre-built Quiz (it has a matching) as a lesson 2 at the end of a lesson 1 that was built using Blocks? Are you not suppose to mix a lesson built using Blocks with a pre-built Quiz or activity? Does this make a difference if you publish for LMS? Does it affect the tracking or scoring?
Our team is still working on creating the stand-alone lessons as pieces you could connect to other blocks, so we'll let you know as soon as the Quiz one is ready.
In the meantime, you can still use a Quiz (Labelled graphic, process interaction, etc.) as a singular lesson before or after a lesson compromised of blocks. Using those in the same course shouldn't cause any issues with tracking/scoring.
When I am allowing others to review my course, they cannot see the matching activity to trial it. Any ideas why this might not work for them? They can see the question, but they can't see the elements to drag and drop.
The matching type quiz question is perfect for what we are trying to do, but we're having an issue with score calculation. We want to include a matching exercise several courses. The problem is that the score calculation is based on the number of questions answered correctly, not the number of correct matches within the question. Since the entire quiz is technically 1 question, the learner has to match all items correctly or the quiz score calculates as 0%. Is there a way to either:
1. Score by the question, or,
2. Hide the score calculation, or,
3. Create a matching question as a knowledge block instead of a quiz question?
Or any other idea you may have for accomplishing what we want to do...
Each question in a quiz is scored individually, without partial scoring. The total score is than based on the total number of questions, so if you had 5 questions each would be worth 20% of your score vs. 4 questions which would be 25% each.
We are working on a matching question for the knowledge block, so we'll let you know as soon as that's ready!
We have been having the same issue with the extremely light borders. They are invisible on some screens we tested on, and as of now there doesn't appear to be a way of changing the colour of the outline of the shapes.
I would also, be curious to know why the interaction is opposite to what it is in storyline, where the items on the left are stationary and you drag the choices from the right side to match. Now with Rise, items on the right are stationary while you drag items from the left to match. Feels counter intuitive especially for those long time users of the matching questions. With so much of our content still in storyline, there will be user confusion between the two same types of question requiring different engagement.
With Rise being a newer product than Storyline (and often times one with a different audience despite certain overlap), we try to take a look at interactions inside of Rise with fresh eyes as we build them.
When creating something like a matching quiz question, we considered what we’ve built in Storyline to help inform the process, but when we see an opportunity to improve upon something and possibly make it more intuitive or easy to use, we explore it.
That was the case with this drag and drop matching interaction—in our testing, dragging left to right felt like it had a slightly more natural feel than right to left.
Hope that provides the insight you're looking for, and let me know if you need anything else!

This is great, another alternative quiz question. It's good to be able to mix them up :)

Another great addition to Rise!
I love this idea, great suggestion

Hey Donna and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
I think Mike offered a great update on this question recently. Check it out here.

Great - We would love to have these questiontypes in the Block Library as well :-)

Hi Kristi,
It looks like my colleague Crystal just answered your other post here. I wanted to link it here for anyone else following along.
Hi Kristi,
We made a tweak to matching questions and now the behavior works as you want. The left column shuffles and the right column stays fixed.
Enjoy.
Adam
Hi Adam,
For the multiple response and matching question features, they can only be used for the knowledge check option.
Is there a way that we can use these features when selecting the Interactive knowledge check feature in the Block design?

Hi Rachel,
Do you know what browser those users are viewing the course in? I'd start by confirming it's one of the options listed here.
