Animation By Paragraph Bug
I frequently use the Animation by Paragraph option in Storyline to sync text in a bulleted lists with the narration. However, I occasionally encounter issues when I adjust the bullets individually on the timeline. At times, the bullets will jump order. For example, while I'm adjusting the bullets, I'll set bullet 1 and 2 in place. While I'm adjusting bullet 3, bullet 2 and bullet 3 will swap places. Has anyone else experienced this? It seems like there is a bug.Rise Learning Journal / Notes
BETA distribution files Instructions for implementation further down the page under the heading BETA Version Release. I've been working on a Learning Journal for Rise. I have an BETA version I'd like to share on SCORM Cloud. The features we have included so far are: Comments persisted between sessions (SCORM 1.2 & SCORM 2004 3rd and 4th Ed) Save comments, associated with blocks individual blocks Comments are organised into topics/pages Edit existing Comments Delete Comments Print comments (to printer, or PDF is you have the required software installed) Export comments to Word (*.doc) Pagination (If comments exceed a defined number, they are split into pages) There are some things that needs to be finalised which will not take a great deal of work to complete. Mobile compatibility WCAG 2.2 AA What I'm looking for is a bit of community input, as I know people have wanted this feature for quite some time. This is my best guess of how somebody might use a learning journal, but would love to hear any other examples of how it could function, or additional useful features that could be included. If you would like to check it out on SCORM Cloud. You can visit this URL: Rise Learning Journal on SCORM Cloud Update (3rd December 2024) I have continued to work on this project and it is now SCORM 2004 compatible. Again, it is using the cmi.comments_from_learner. Unfortunately I found a significant issue with the Articulate implementation of the SCORM 1.2 and 2004 comments. I am in communication with support after logging the issue. I am hoping I can convince them that the implementation is incorrect, and the base script is updated. In the meantime, I am applying a patch to the Articulate "WriteComment" function to ensure comments are stored correctly for SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004. I have also made some cosmetic changes and updated the CSS for the HTML to ensure the application picks up the current Rise module theme (colours, fonts etc). I've fixed a few bugs I have found along the way with regards to deleting journal entries, and editing journal entries when not on the page they originated from. This all appears to be working really well now. My next priority will be working on the CSS to ensure it is mobile compatible. Once all of the HTML and CSS is finalised, I'll then work on the accessibility. I've been implementing aria attributes as I go along, but there is still some testing and development to be done on that side of things. I will be looking to release this as a BETA to a handful of people early in the new year. Update (9th December 2024) Accessibility Started work on accessibility. Currently implementing and then will be looking to test using JAWS 2024 and NVDA over the xmas holiday period. On track for BETA release Jan 2025. Update (09 January 2025) Accessibility & refactoring Still working on accessibility and refactoring. There is a little more work than first forecast. Yes, I know, you've never heard that from a developer before. I'm 50/50 as to whether I can get this out in January. It will depend on other work commitments, but I will keep this post updated. I have decided to simplify the colour scheme and move away from using the defined "branding" colours inherited from Rise, as I was finding this a bit unpredictable with colour contrast, and so in the interest of ensuring the content has the best colour contrast, I'll be hard coding the CSS rather than using the CSS variables defined in Rise. I'll re-visit this in future. Looking at the code, I need some serious refactoring as I think I found some redundancies and so need to delete any unused code that I added and then abandoned. Oh, and Happy New Year. Update (24 January 2025) Accessibility & refactoring Almost ready for BETA release. Should be ready for release next Tuesday. Accessibility just about completed. I think I could spend another few days improving things, but I think this will be a good first release. BETA Version Release Contact: notes@rebusmedia.com Minimum requirements: Rise course published SCORM 1.2 or 2004 (xAPI not currently supported) LMS Support for cmi.comments (TalentLMS cmi.comments implentation is not supported as the comments are not persisted between sessions). Release Notes: This is a BETA release, and is provided as is without any warranties and It should be used with caution and fully tested for your use case before considering for production. If you do find bugs, please report them to notes@rebusmedia.com (include browser, LMS, device) and I'll release a fix as quickly as possible. This is a side project and so does come second to our day job which can be busy, and so you may need a certain level of patience. Fixes can be expedited for your use case through engagement of our services for time critical projects. It has been tested on mobile, but not extensively (Google Pixel + iPhone). Win/Chrome has been the browser used for development, and testing has also been performed on Win/Firefox and Win/Edge. Features requests: If you require any features that deviate from the BETA version, they will be considered on their merit, but can only be guaranteed for your own implementation through engagement for our services. We have a long list of features that we would like to add if there is enough interest in the application and if it is viable. Accessibility: We made the decision to remove colors from the modal window theme to keep it simple and generic and accessible (high color contrast). The application has been tested with JAWS 2024 and is fully keyboard accessible and keeps assistive technology users informed of what is happening when interacting with the modal window. I'm always willing to make improvements to accessibility as a priority. Accessibility issues are treated as a bug and not a feature request. Implementation: Publish your Rise course to either SCORM 1.2 or 2004 Download the two files note.min.css and notes.min.js files to your computer. Extract your published Rise course to your computer and then copy the note.min.css and note.min.js files to the scormcontent\lib folder Open the scormcontent\index.html file in a simple text editor such as notepad and paste the following text just before the closing head element, which looks like this </head>. <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="lib/notes.min.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/notes.min.js" data-notes-per-page="5"></script> It will look something like this: // Excerpt of scormcontent/index.html starts window.__loadEntry = __loadEntry window.__loadRemoteEntry = __loadRemoteEntry window.__loadJsonp = __loadJsonp window.__resolveJsonp = __resolveJsonp window.__fetchCourse = __fetchCourse })() </script> <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="lib/notes.min.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="lib/notes.min.js" data-notes-per-page="5"></script> </head> <body> <div id="app"></div> // Excerpt of scormcontent/index.html ends You can adjust the data-notes-per-page="5" attribute to determine how many notes should be listed in the viewer, before the pagination (note navigation) kicks in. Save the scormcontent/index.html file It's important to get this bit right, as the LMS expects the imsmanifest file in the root of the zip file you are about to create. Navigate to the folder containing imsmanifest.xml and then select all (CTL+A) and then select archive/zip/compress depending on the software you use the terminology can be different. It must be a zip file though and the imasmanifest.xml file must be in the root of the zip file. Update (28 January 2025) Print functionality improvement After some user feedback, I have adjust the print functionality so that there is less chance of the student losing the course window during printing. When print is completed or cancelled, the print page closes and the user is return to the course window. Update (30 January 2025) Fix: Added functionality to handle learn.riseusercontent.com cmi.comments implementation. The cmi.comments implementation is incorrect on the LMS and requires the application to retrieve all comments and save to the LMS rather than appending to existing comments. This could cause memory issues if users add multiple long comments over time. CSS: Improved CSS for mobile view (using full height of the screen to display the application. Update (31 January 2025) Bug: There is a known issue with TalentLMS. TalentLMS does not persist SCORM 1.2 cmi.comments between sessions. All comments are disregarded at the end of the session. For this reason, we cannot support TalentLMS unless TalentLMS changes the functionality of the SCORM 1.2 cmi.comments. CSS: Improved CSS for mobile view. Supporting devices with a minimum screen width of 355px wide.Seeking Advice on Enhancing Creativity in Course Development
Hi everyone, I've been using Rise360 for about two years now and have developed a few courses, despite having no prior experience in this field. While I love Rise360, I'm beginning to feel that I’d like to explore more creative possibilities, such as using Storyline or building custom blocks in PowerPoint for Rise. That said, I have no idea where to start! I’m looking for advice on courses or resources that could help me improve my skills and take my course development to the next level. If anyone has recommendations or tips for getting started with Storyline or creating more customized designs, I’d really appreciate your guidance! Thanks in advance, MicheleCorrect State Won't Show
Hi! I have a slide in a project (attached) that has a shape with multiple states as well as several layers. My problem lies in the "Rear Brakes" state. When the user finishes clicking through the layers and clicks "Finish", the shape jumps back to the "Welcome"/"Normal" state; it does not stay on the "Rear Brakes" state. I've tried multiple "change state" triggers, conditions on my existing trigger, a variable, and comparing other slides in the project that are similar, but they look the exact same and this one won't work. Can someone look at my slide and tell me what I'm missing? **Note: you'll have to click through "Quarter Fenders" before you get to the Rear Brakes section TIA!Add Text Captions Not Working - View Mode Steps - Storyline
Hi, When I record my screen and insert the recorded slides as View More Steps, the "add text captions" option does not work properly. It only captures the correct text when it captures a click to a button, not when an option is selected in a dropdown list or a cell is clicked. Do you have any ideas about what could be the issue? I tried Storyline v 3.96, 3.95, and 3.93. I created a project last week, and this was not an issue. Now, I have to update every slide manually. Image #1 - View Mode Options Image#2 - The text caption is correct when clicking a button Image#3 - The caption box covers the field, and the text does not list the selected option in the dropdown list.New Matching lay-out
Last week we received the updated lay-out of the matching knowledge check. The moment I discovered it was a bit unlucky (during a presentation, got me a bit confused) but today I had some time to look into it. The changelog as following on the articulate website: Enhanced: Matching knowledge check blocks have been upgraded with intuitive navigation, full keyboard support, and comprehensive screen reader integration. Now, I think it's great that Articulate is improving it's software's accessibility, however, I don't see anything intuitive about the new design. A lot of new things have been added which for me only make the assignment more confusing. On the left side the hamburger icon and number suggest some sort of clickability, which is not there. The drop downs on the right give the assignment a new layer of intractability which only wouldn't want for the student. Overall the lay-out is a lot less clean and drains focus away from the content towards the design. Maybe a simple solution would be to add a slider which let's us choose between this lay-out and the previous one (or this one without the rings and bells). That's just my opinion, I was wondering what other think of the new lay-out!Seeking Right-to-Left (RTL) Support in Rise 360 for Arabic Training Courses
Hello Articulate Community, I hope you're all doing well! I am relatively new to Rise 360 and truly impressed with its intuitive design and functionality. It has great potential to support our organization’s training needs. However, I’ve encountered a challenge that I hope the community can assist me with. We develop training programs predominantly in Arabic, which is a right-to-left (RTL) language. Unfortunately, I’ve learned that Rise 360 does not currently support RTL formatting out of the box. While the platform works wonderfully for left-to-right (LTR) languages, the lack of RTL support presents a significant limitation for designing Arabic courses that align with our organizational requirements. I’ve heard there are workarounds involving modifications to the CSS and index.html files in the published output, but I’m unsure where to begin. Specifically, I’d like to know: Has anyone successfully implemented RTL formatting in Rise 360 courses? What are the key steps or best practices for modifying CSS and index.html files to achieve a seamless RTL experience? Are there any potential challenges to watch out for when implementing this workaround? Our training programs are intended for large-scale educational organizations, so ensuring that the content is fully aligned to Arabic (RTL) standards is essential. If anyone has managed to create a polished RTL course using Rise 360, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience, tips, or even examples! Thank you so much for taking the time to help. I look forward to learning from the community’s insights and expertise.
