Allowing other media types in Accordians
Currently in accordians created in Rise, you only have the ability to upload an image within each item. This is limiting as I use these Accordians as steps and I would like to add a small video to each one. Currently I get around this with animated gif's, but the key issue with a gif is It cannot be started and stopped when set to loop only once, there is no way to refresh the accordian step to replay the animation, you have to wait for it to loop which on a 30 second Gif becomes annoying for the end user. Therefore, as in other areas in Rise, we need the ability to use an .mp4 wherever we wish to rather than just in image topic placeholdersAllow 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!Contextual Help and Glossary
In Rise, we have no ability to highlight a word and place comments or tips that pop up when a user hovers over it. This would be invaluable combined with a Glossary library that could provide learners with a 'comments bubble or help pop up' that gives them instant explanation to terminology. As with other course production software, this is not a new thing, but seriously lacking in Rise. Is there any plans to have this implemented into the product?Copy or move block/s from one lesson to another in Rise
Quite often when I am building out a module in rise, I create an awesome block/s within a lesson. But as I go on building and restructuring the module, the block/s or section better sit within another lesson in the same rise course. Currently, there is no way to copy or move blocks from one lesson to another - meaning I have to completely rebuild the blocks in the other lesson and delete from the original lesson. (The workaround, I think, is to save them as a template, insert the template into the other lesson, then delete the template, and delete from the original lesson). Can there be a function created that allows you to copy or move blocks to another lesson within the course without having to use the template workaround?Rise ability to hand 9:16 (portrait) videos on mobile screens
Enhancements need to be made to Rise's ability to handle a portrait video. Video is increasingly forming a core part of courses, especially on mobile first viewing. Rise however is not able to dynamically handle the video ratio, meaning that a 'made for mobile' video in a 9:16 ratio or similar is still presented in a 16:9 frame with small, almost unusable controls. Whilst full-screen can be turned on, this then requires the user to exit full screen and is far from a true responsive handling of the video. The same happens with embedded files from tools such as Vimeo. Other tools exist on the market that can do this, and as the 'market leader' i think Articulate should have the functionality for this.Import Markdown text or rtf document into Rise 360 to start building a course
I would love it if we could upload a Markdown file or rtf document into Rise 360 as the beginnings of a course. For example Rise would identify Headings and paragraphs correctly and create blocks from them. So something like on the left could be uploaded to Rise and turned automatically into the blocks on the right in a new course: If it could recognize most of Markdown formatting that would be amazing. For version two, if it had some quick Markdown like text codes for inserting blocks that we could use too that would be amazing like [BLOCK:flipcard{ Front_of_card|Back_of_card; Front_of_card|Back_of_card; }] It would save so much time for us and allow us to use Notion or document writers to import course content faster. We end up selecting blocks and copying & pasting for hours.AI assistant - create speech from text on RISE
Some of our learners would prefer to listen to learning/longer text paragraphs rather than read them. It would be great if the AI assistant could create an audio of the text, with the ability to keep the text and audio and change the audio voice. (Rather than having to import a Storyline block)
