I've created a course with multiple audio and video clips. Because there is no native autoplay in Rise (which there should be), I've added a javascript player. It works well, thanks to anthonyvecchi.com linked here. https://anthonyvecchi.com/RiseVideo/index.html#/lessons/-i0Q5dN_3fhA-55EI9fjx7Owsd7WJKPw The issue is that if multiple audio or video clips are in the same lesson, they all start at the same time. The solution was to add a Continue button between the clips, so the next one in line starts after you click continue. After adjusting the browser to allow autoplay, it works great; however, Rise's behaviors for continue buttons is that they disappear when clicked. if you go back to a lesson, there are not continue buttons and the clips once again play at the same time. I've seen a possible solution to add a Button, but that only allows to jump to a different lesson, not a to a block within the lesson it is in. So, other than putting every single audio/video clip in a separate lesson, has anyone figured out a workaround to either get the continue buttons to stay, or any other solutions/ideas? I will say this has been a hot topic in threads for at least 7 years, with multiple users asking for the option to retain the continue button (and autoplay), but Articulate seems to not care. Too bad.Major AI Assistant Workflow Friction in Rise 360: Impact on Recent Updates
Hi E-Learning Heroes Community & Articulate Team, I am sharing feedback regarding the recent updates to the AI Assistant features in Rise 360. Even as a certified user, these recent changes to the interface and functionality have introduced major friction into my authoring workflow and are severely slowing down production: Top AI Menu Toolbar Restrictions: The main AI toolbar button at the top is now only Update text across your course or for specific lessons or blocks. Previously, this button opened a comprehensive drop-down list featuring all available AI actions in one central location. Now, that list is gone, and those options have been scattered throughout different areas of Rise. Instead of having a single, efficient menu, I now have to hunt through the entire interface just to find tools that used to be readily accessible in one place. Block Background Image Swapping Glitches: Swapping out the default mountain background visual on blocks has become frustratingly unreliable. It often takes multiple attempts, rather than a single attempt like prior, to replace the generic mountain photo with a custom image when setting up background visuals for block components. Reduction in Generated Image Variations: The AI image generation tool now yields only a single image option per attempt, down from the four distinct variations we used to receive. Storyline still provides four generated image options to choose from, but Rise 360 now yields only a single image option per attempt. This reduction requires repeatedly generating images from scratch, making the search for appropriate visuals far more time-consuming. Getting four options previously allowed us to quickly compare compositions and select the best fit. Loss of Image Prompt History: The system no longer saves, displays, or retains the AI prompt used to generate an image. Previously, we could easily open an existing generated image, view the exact prompt, and copy/paste it to adapt for subsequent images. Articulate needs to add prompt history retention to Rise and Storyline for images so we can iterate on past prompts and keep generated images aligned with the same brand/theme family across a course. These changes are directly impacting authoring speed, visual brand consistency, and daily productivity. Has anyone else encountered these friction points or found effective workarounds? I strongly urge the product team to consider restoring prompt history retention, four-option image generation, and the centralized drop-down menu for AI toolbar controls.241Views1like4CommentsOption for multiple Rise quizzes to report to the LMS
Rise does not allow this functionality - multiple quizzes within a Rise course reporting to the LMS. It only allows course tracking based on 'course completion' or based on a 'quiz result' from a single quiz only. Wouldn't it make sense to allow tracking on all quizzes (either separately or combined)? What is the point of allowing multiple quizzes, if only the results for one can be tracked? If we as developers cannot track all quizzes then we may as well just use Knowledge Checks. A KC may be nice for the learner, but doesn't provide any data to the developer. The answer data (questions and learner selection regarding answer options) from all quizzes surfaces within the LMS report, so why can't the score % data? Articulate, surely this is something to consider in 2026 for Rise 360? Thanks.116Views5likes7CommentsCustom Blocks Accessibility/Screen Reader testing
Hi all, I’m having an issue with Tab-based keyboard navigation not working, and I’m looking for a fix or workaround for accessibility/screen reader testing. I have custom blocks throughout, but when I tab through them, it goes straight to the next interactive button, like the Continue button divider. What’s odd is that later in the lesson, tabbing does detect a paragraph field within the custom block. My current block setup is Canvas > Shape > Text and Icon Image. I tried adjusting the focus order, but that didn’t help. To reproduce it: add a introduction template custom block, then create a blank canvas > add a shape > add a text box inside the shape then add a Continue divider, and open preview mode. When tabbing, it will detect the Introduction heading, then skips the custom block and goes directly to the continue button. I found a similar thread that matches my situation: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/discuss/custom-blocks-accessibility/1238624 Hope to hear from you all soon :)19Views0likes0CommentsRise Continue Buttons Disappearing
Hi everyone, Our team is running into an issue with Rise courses in our LMS (Moodle). When a learner clicks the browser’s back button, the Continue buttons inside the Rise course disappear. The only workaround we’ve found so far is to delete the learner’s attempt, which forces them to restart the course from the beginning. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a solution or workaround that doesn’t require resetting their progress? Thanks in advance!364Views0likes8CommentsScaling feedback?
Do you have any way of providing feedback to your learners? If so, how do you think about scaling it? Hey all! I recently had a coffee chat with JulieDirksen and she said something that got me thinking (well, she said a lot of things that got me thinking but this was one I wanted to share!). She was talking about how for a long time, feedback was one of the last things in learning that you couldn't scale. But, she noted that with AI that is now changing—it's now more possible to scale the experience of receiving feedback on your work. As a community professional, scaling feedback is something I've long thought about doing via nominating experts from the community to help spread the expertise of an "instructor" beyond one single person—I'm actually going to be giving a session at Articuland next week in Orlando that touches on this! But, all of this got me thinking about different forms of providing feedback and how they have the potential to scale, and I wanted to pitch this question to the community and get your thoughts.60Views0likes6CommentsText to Speech problems
Hi there I don't know what's happened in some of my Articulate 360 eLearnings but when I go to edit the Text to Speech text on a slide it's showing me text from the previous slide, although it previews the correct text. I'm very confused :( This has also happened to a colleague so it's not just my pc or work. I'm using the latest version. Any thoughts on what's going on would be much appreciated :) Thank you.Solved85Views0likes7CommentsRestrict course access
Hey articulate community, I am trying to develop a course where a new employee who could also be a new manager can go through the same course, but the manager has an additional portion like a manager manager‘s corner that shares manager only teachings and learning regarding the topic. I am trying to obviously restrict that to the manager that’s hired and not open it to employees so any suggestion would be appreciated I created a sample course with 3 parts and 4th part needs to accessible only to particular role - trying to avoid creating 2 lessons for same with one more tab Has anyone tried that ? thanks22Views0likes2CommentsI want images to pop up in the screen.
Hey guys, I am developing a slide on Storyline where I am showing different careers. As of now, I have small icons representing each career. But I want them to grow in size and pop out as the VO speaks their name. Can anyone help with how to go about this?46Views0likes2CommentsDice Roll Game
Hello! I am trying to learn how to set up a basic dice roll interaction with branched questions. I have it 99% complete after following Articulate's video, but I'm running into this issue. Every time I click "Continue" on a Correct or Incorrect layer on a question slide to go back to the card slide, The "Roll the Dice" layer stays up and does not actually allow the user to click the "Roll the Dice" button again. I have tried setting triggers, changing the layer settings...how do I get the layer to hide after the slide jumps to the question (again yes I have tried the "Hide Layer" trigger)?Solved685Views1like2Comments
