Variables / Branching in Rise?
I usually develop global courses in Storyline and use variables to create a branching scenario for tweaked country-specific content. For example, when a learner opens the course, they will select what country they are from, this triggers a true/false variable and content is adjusted via states according. This helps me not have to make up to 7 versions (one per global office) of a course.
Question, I am building a Rise course as I don't have a lot of time for an upcoming training course I need to make and I want my learners to be able to open the course on their mobiles during a ILT session and follow along. Is there a way to create variables / branching in Rise?
Thanks
Hi Troy,
Love that you're looking at creating courses in Rise and providing other options for your learners! It's truly one of the best Articulate 360 benefits, that you can choose the right tool when you need it. The customization of Rise with variables and branching isn't something built in, but I know that folks like Zsolt have done some really impressive things inside Rise - so you may want to take a look at what he got started and see if he has any specific feedback that could help you.
I also found this article on how the Pros are using Storyline vs. Rise really helpful!
Would love to hear what you come up with and let us know how else we can assist as you dig deeper into all that Articulate 360 has to offer!
Hi Ashley,
Thanks for your reply and these references are great.
Do you know if a branching scenario will ever meet the road map for Rise?
Thanks,
Hi Troy,
I also just remembered the ideas that Adam shared here - hope those help too! You'll see that we've got some creative folks using Rise.
Hi Troy,
Our road map is driven by a combination of factors, a big one being your input! So we track things like these forum discussions, official requests here, and what our Success team is hearing at conferences and their discussions with clients. So it's not on the roadmap as I've seen yet, but that is always changing as Rise continues to evolve.
Hi Ashley,
Thanks so much for replying. I must admit, it's one thing I love about Articulate and how actively involve you guys are with us users and vice versa. Thanks for letting me know about the road map.
Keep up the awesome work with Rise; it's amazing. Thanks again!
Thanks for the awesome praise Troy - we passed it along to our team of Developers who are responsible for Rise, as I just get to be the messenger of all that goodness!
If you need anything else just holler!
I've got an update for you, Charlotte! The scenario block is here! Check out this tutorial to find out how to create scenarios in Rise 360.
And this isn’t the only cool feature we released today! Check out our what’s new page for the full list.
Let me know if you have any questions or comments! 😁
I want to have learners select their profession and provide a different quiz based on that selection. I am trying to do this in Rise because I am on a mac. I do not like the experience of using parallel on my mac so Rise seems to be the only option if I want to use Articulate. Is there a way to make this happen in Rise?
Hi Elly, you can use the Button stack block to direct users to specific quiz lessons. Rise 360 can only track one quiz lesson, though. So if you need to track the learner's quiz lesson progress, you may need to use Storyline 360 instead.
Bumping this up. The Storyline / Parallels experience is frustrating, I'd love to see advanced options in Rise (or web-based Storyline).
