Pause, Confirm, Continue: A Confirmation Prompt Demo
For my demo, I explored how confirmation prompts can do more than just validate an action. Throughout the course, learners encounter simple prompts that encourage them to pause and confirm before moving forward—whether it's understanding the course navigation, acknowledging key concepts, or preparing for a quiz. I often use these types of prompts in my eLearning projects, especially for navigation. They help learners feel more in control of their experience while ensuring they don't miss important information. Sometimes, a simple "Are you sure?" can improve engagement and create a smoother learning journey. Demo: https://sarkgcreation.com/ELC555C/Think About It!! Quiz, with Quiz Builder
💡My take on the challenge: I looked at this from a slightly different perspective. Building a quiz is easy! so I wanted to create something useful for the entire community. I didn't just create a quiz, I built an app right inside Rise that allows users to craft, preview, and export their own high-impact, standalone quiz right inside Rise for use in their own courses. Everything in the quiz is customisable! Use it along with the native rise style and format block controls to create something amazing! 🖥️ The tech bit! The tool is a dynamic, client-side web application built using standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS3, and Vanilla JavaScript). It allows you to build, configure, and export self-contained, interactive quiz blocks engineered specifically for iframe integration within Rise. ⚙️The really techy bit! The system relies on a centralized State Management Pattern (const S). Every interaction, from a slider adjustment to an input keypress or color hex alteration, fires a non-blocking UI update sequence: Mutates the values directly inside the global state object. Formats strings safely using contextual HTML/JS escaping helpers (esc() / escJs()) to prevent injection or rendering errors in the exported markup. Automatically serialises the state to compile a completely isolated, valid HTML document inside a data URI stream (srcdoc). 😤Problems encountered! Because the live preview runs inside an iframe wrapper to preserve strict CSS sandboxing and style isolation, standard DOM access is blocked. To solve this, a robust cross-document messaging pipeline was implemented: The Frame: Houses an active ResizeObserver API loop monitoring its own document height. The Message: The child window securely transmits payload data (window.parent.postMessage({type:'frameHeight', ...})) upward to the host application window upon asset load. The Host: Automatically catches the event listener and dynamically resizes the frame height down to the exact pixel, eliminating double scrollbars and layout shifting entirely. 🔎LMS/Rise Compatibility & Performance The exported codebase is mathematically pure Vanilla JavaScript (ES5 standard for runtime compatibility). It relies on no external dependencies, CDNs, or UI libraries, ensuring lightning-fast load times. It also features a programmatic native browser hook that fires standard completion messages ({type: 'complete'}) across to the parent window automatically upon a user hitting the customisable passing threshold.

In this example, my goal is to create a gentle, learner-centered pause that feels supportive and caring 🤗 Techniques Used Friendly microcopy and positive reinforcement. A cozy coffee-break metaphor. Personification of the LMS as a supportive presence. Impact on the Learner The approach acknowledges potential cognitive overload and normalizes short pauses during learning. By making the LMS feel attentive and caring, it reinforces that the learner’s effort and answers matter. As a result, a waiting moment becomes an opportunity for reflection and greater confidence in the final answer.
