Block Defaults

From talking with my learners, it's about maximizing space (and it just so happens to align with some of my design preferences in Rise).

The default medium width leaves nearly half the screen empty, where the wide one can help reduce scrolling and looks more like what our learners would see on a piece of paper. The learners I've spoken to prefer seeing the text use more of the width utilized than the vertical space.

That also feeds into the line spacing. The default reminds me of double spacing on a word document, which is fine. But using the 1.5 option again, reduces some of the vertical space that our learners seem to be averse to. I guess it makes them feel like they're getting more done in less time even though the amount of material is the same.

I end up modifying every block, every time I make a course regardless of it being a microlearning for a single learning item, or a longer course for more in depth training.
