Centralized Alt Text Manager with AI Suggestions for Rise 360
Description: I'd love to see a centralized Alt Text Manager within Rise 360 where authors can view and edit the alt text for every image in a lesson or course from a single location. Instead of opening each individual image block, the Alt Text Manager would provide an accessibility dashboard that streamlines authoring, SME review, and quality assurance. Suggested functionality: Display every image in the lesson or course with a thumbnail preview. Show the current alt text or clearly indicate when alt text is missing. Allow authors to edit alt text directly from the dashboard. Identify decorative images separately from informative images. Include filters (e.g., Missing Alt Text, Decorative Images, AI Suggestions). Optionally provide AI-generated alt text suggestions that authors can review, edit, and accept. Why this would help: As instructional designers, we frequently collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs) to review course content. SMEs are often the best people to describe the educational purpose of an image, but the current workflow requires them to open each image individually to review or edit its alt text. A centralized Alt Text Manager would allow SMEs and instructional designers to: Review all image descriptions in one place. Quickly identify images that still need alt text. Ensure descriptions accurately reflect the instructional intent of the image. Perform accessibility reviews much more efficiently during QA. AI-generated suggestions could further reduce authoring time by providing a strong starting point, while still allowing human review and editing to ensure descriptions are accurate and instructionally meaningful. For courses with dozens or even hundreds of images, this feature would save significant time, improve collaboration between instructional designers and SMEs, and help authors produce more accessible courses with greater consistency.If the Closed Caption Editor Remembered the Width I set it to....
If the Closed Caption Editor Remembered the Width I set it to, it would save me time resizing this editor every time I open it. I have a 3 monitor setup, so that's lots of desktop space. When I increase the width of the editor, I will copy and paste in text that may be missing or needed to be added, so I don't ever make the editor full screen, and it doesn't remember that I did when I open it a second time anyway. Can your team please make the functionality for the width & height set by the user to be remembered when the editor gets resized then closed? So that when I reopen it, it goes to the size I resized it to prior? This it what it looks like when I custom size the CC editor: Then I reopen it and it goes back to this: And I'd like to hear any other ideas related to this if anyone has them! Thanks, DanClick-to-explain words
It would be great to have the option to highlight a word in a text so that, when clicked on, a small window pops up with a description or definition. Content creators could use this feature to add interactive glossaries to words or concepts that require further explanation. It would be an interactive glossary within the text, providing explanations for terms. Maybe someone has an idea of how to implement this in Rise. If not, I hope this feature becomes available in the near future. Thank you very much Regards PriscillaAnimated Avatars
I'd love to be able to use Articulate (I mainly use Storyline) to create animated avatar training modules. I'm looking for more natural movements than what the static avatars allow using states and intro/exit animations. For example, I want to create an animated video of a cartoon avatar putting on PPE. Another example is an avatar whose mouth moves while talking.Combine CC in Closed Caption Editor
Wouldn't it be amazing if there were a function in the Closed Captions Editor that let you just click to say "Combine with Previous" or "Combine with Next"? This will save so much time when the AI-generated CCs are too short, and at the moment, you have to manually add that CC to the next or previous one. Camtasia from TechSmith has this feature, and I cannot tell you how much I miss that feature here in the beloved Articulate Rise or Storyline. Especially because of WCAG regulations.Allow publishing access for more than one owner
My team works in a very collaborative environment and the "owner" of the course in Rise360 may not be the only owner or the only person that needs access to publish the course to our LMS. We previously all had access to publish the course as long as we were listed as collaborators (manager or editor). As of today, this access is gone and only the owner has the option to publish the course. I saw in Articulate Community that this question has been asked previously in the context of an employee leaving the organization and it was recommended to just share the link. This does not allow us to publish the course in our LMS to track completion for compliance. I'm not sure what changed for us to previously have access to the publish feature regardless of ownership or why we no longer have the access to do so, but there should at the very least be an option to assign collaborators as "co-owners" so we can have equal publishing/modification rights on team projects. Thank you!
