Reflection Questions and Interactive Web Pages in Rise

It's funny - now that I'm out of the corporate learning world, I find I have more freedom to explore and be creative. 

I'm really pleased with my most recent course - the subject matter may not be riveting (a history of minimum wage), but the design has made me capture more potential out of Rise than I was getting when I had to churn out courses more to satisfy a timeline than a learning objective.

It's really the addition of the Code Block that has opened up new capabilities. 

1. Reflection Blocks. Previously, I had to create everything in Storyline in order to enable the learner to type in the response to a reflection question. That, of course, takes much longer, and limits the content to a slide. Using a code block, I'm able to ask a question, capture the response, and feed it back to the learner at the end of the course.
   
   Caveat - the response is stored locally on their hard drive, so if they switch devices while taking the course or clear their cache, the information is lost. Also, the responses are not reportable via SCORM. 
   
   Consider the information under "Caveat" my wish list. 
   
   
2. Using the code block, I am now able to add interactive web pages directly in the course instead of creating something and sending the learner outside of the course. In this case, I created an interactive table of all 50 states and data associated with minimum wage and minimum cost of living. This enables the learner to sort, filter, and look up information pertinent to their situation. 

If you'd like to take a look at what this looks like (this is a free course, accessed via Quick Share): 

Why Do We Have a Minimum Wage?

I'd love to know if you think this works well, or if you have a solution that might work even better.

Thanks!
