Scenario-Based Quiz: Recognizing, Preventing, & Reporting Harassment
About For an instructional design & eLearning developer portfolio project, I created a fictional scenario quiz about reporting harassment using Articulate Storyline and generative AI characters. Links To learn more about this project visit my portfolio. You can also view the published Storyline project here. To see the full course that the scenario quiz was embedded into, view the course.

I was once again checking out the different projects that people have shown off and DavidTaits Escape Room | E-Learning Heroes caught my attention. I appreciated his explanation on ho he had the transitions work. During my recent 1on1s with my leader, she challenged me to look into the ADDIE model. At The same time I had been experimenting with some new technical "programming" in storyline while also trying to recreate some of Davids design and I mistakenly mixed some of my ADDIE learning into the SL learning and accidently made a little ADDIE adventure learning module. I was trying to find a way to take information from a drag and drop or multiple choice question and use it in a later slide in order to give more in depth feedback. My solution was to have multiple states for the drop area that translated into a numeric variable that could be recalled later on for more in depth feedback. In my version you find info on each stage of the ADDIE model and then have to use that to determine how to Analyze some issues a team is having and break it up into categories; if the issues are training related, environment related or a knowledge/skill issue. Then look at options for how to design a course and which elements you want to include, from simulations to if a cat video is necessary. Decide which Development tools are best for the task at hand. Is Storyline, Canva, Photoshop, Rise or PowerPoint the way to go. Finally order the best steps for implementation. Once those are completed you will go to a meeting and see if your answers are what management was looking for and get 1 of 5 endings based on those results. ADDIE Adventure | Review 360Coded Interactions
I've recently been experimenting with coded interactions in Rise 360 to see how far I can push the interactivity beyond the standard blocks. I've been using GPT to help produce and refine the code, then tweaking and personalising the interactions to meet specific brand guidelines and learning requirements. I'm really happy with the results so far, and it's opened up a lot of possibilities for creating more bespoke learning experiences directly within Rise. There are some limitations I've noticed during testing, particularly around incorporating audio effectively within the interactions and ensuring they remain fully responsive across different screen sizes and mobile devices. I'd be interested to hear from other eLearning developers who are experimenting with coded interactions: What limitations have you come across? How have you approached responsiveness and accessibility? Do you see coded interactions becoming a bigger part of how we build bespoke experiences in Rise? Here's an example I've been working on: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/42e03dcc-6233-4bf0-908e-64d5543c0c7c/reviewRise 360: Branded Portfolio
Brand standards are sometimes seen as a frustrating limitation. But as this portfolio by Mat King shows, a more limited set of colors, fonts, and design choices doesn’t have to lead to dull-looking e-learning. In fact, those guidelines have the potential to help your project look pulled together while still leaving lots of room for creative choices. Shared at DevLearn’s 2023 DemoFest, this Rise 360 project showcases the new technologies and design capabilities Mat and his team have used in their projects. The collection of images, interactions, and videos make it easy to see how branding guidelines apply to different mediums. They also demonstrate eye-catching ways to push the envelope within those rules. And by collecting these examples in a similarly branded Rise 360 course, course creators have a one-stop shop for ideas and inspiration! Explore this project.

I just published an article about comparing Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot for learning design work on which one to reach for depending on whether you're drafting assessments, coding a custom interaction, or wrangling a stakeholder deck by 4pm. After I hit publish, I thought to myself, this would be a great microlearning! So what did I do? Of course I created one. 😄 Meet Ada — an AI concierge who runs a "Matchmaker Desk." Tell her what you're actually working on (drafting assessments, coding a custom interaction, wrangling a stakeholder deck by 4pm) and she matches you to the right tool from the article above, reasoning included. Two of the eight tasks are honest ties between tools, so she says both names instead of faking a clean winner just to keep things simple. And yes, I noticed the irony before you did: the article ranks Claude as the strongest coding partner of the four, and Claude is exactly what I built Ask Ada with. I didn't plan that as a bit, it just turned out to be the most honest way to stress-test my own conclusion. It held up. 🙂 Go ask her something real: Ask AdaImproving Our Responses
A Communication Skills Module for Support Teams Support specialists send hundreds of merchant responses daily. Technically correct but poorly written replies drive repeat contacts, escalations, and low satisfaction scores. To fix this, I designed a 20-minute Rise 360 module using real email exchanges from live cases. Learners spot what broke down in actual responses, rewrite them, and get immediate targeted feedback tied to specific communication principles. Learners walk away with a practised framework for written communication — and a measurable reduction in repeat contacts caused by unclear or incomplete responses.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a custom library of Rise-compatible interactive components I’ve been building and experimenting with for eLearning projects. The library includes custom-designed blocks and interactions intended to help make Rise courses more engaging, flexible, and visually dynamic beyond the default block set. You can explore the library here: https://cognitoblox.netlify.app/ This is an ongoing project, and I’d genuinely love feedback from the community: Which components do you find most useful? What kinds of interactions would you like to see added? Any ideas for improving usability or accessibility? Happy to connect with fellow developers who are experimenting with custom Rise code blocks as well! Thanks for checking it outI Built a Japanese Course So I Can Find a Bathroom in Osaka
My son moved to Japan. We visit in March, and I did not want to be the woman standing in a train station pointing at things and hoping. So I did what we all do with a personal problem. I turned it into a course. 🙃 It is five Code Blocks and forty-five phrases, and I want to be honest about the scope: this is not a Japanese course. You will not be fluent. You will not be having conversations. You will still be pointing at things sometimes. What you get is enough to find a bathroom, get on the right train, order food, and be polite while you do it. Survival Guide to JapaneseSelf Assessment Builder
I've built a free self assessment builder tool you can use right inside Rise. You can use this to build your custom self assessments to use in your Rise courses. After completing the assessment users can view, save or print their results. I'll be adding this to my Rise Canvas tool in the next update. Any feedback to add features or improve is welcomed.
