Our team is using Articulate to build out new advisor onboarding for our entire campus. Custom Blocks was released shortly before we launched so, naturally, I dove in head first and gave all of our training modules a makeover. I've included screenshots of some of the assets we've used below, and have a review link to one of our training modules linked at the bottom of this post. Each week in our training has a different theme color, based on our University brand colors, that gives each week a really unique feel but with consistent and familiar assets across the entire training. Important tips/suggestions now use this Core Concepts custom block with some design adjustments to match our style: Comparing and contrasting various features and processes is so much more visually appealing now than when we were using simple tables before: 1. 2. The custom blocks have really opened up a whole new world for me as I think about how we share content visually. I like to start with one of the templates from Articulate and then see where my imagination takes me. Check out the way I formatted degree requirements: One of my absolute favorite design features in custom blocks are the ombre color effects. It is visually stunning (in all of the theme colors we have utilized), adds interest to the content, and naturally leads a learner through the content. Here are a few examples from our courses: 1. 2. 3. 4. I had a great time utilizing the conversation bubbles to share some example questions and answers from advisors. I also uploaded some images and played around with sizing for this cusom block - I have to say, this one is my absolute favorite thing I have created so far: If you made it all the way here - thank you and I'm so excited to share all of this with you!

I customized a long bulleted list block, and while adding a picture isn’t a dramatic change, I think it makes the content more visually appealing. I used to shy away from Rise because I found its block-based design too rigid—I’ve always preferred the creative freedom of a blank canvas, which is why I leaned toward Storyline. However, the custom block feature in Rise feels like a game changer. It’s shifted my perception, and I now see more potential in using Rise for future projects.What happened at Bluff Creek?
Hello! This week, I used Rise's new Custom Block to add extra layers to this microlearning mystery. Can you solve the mystery of what happened at Bluff Creek? As this Beta feature is not yet fully accessible, I needed to hardcode the captions into the videos I used in the Custom Blocks. Otherwise, it was very easy to angle the videos and combine them with shapes, images, and text, to create 'interactive collages' in the Custom Block. Bonus feature I've used Fire Mods from Discover eLearning to add a custom reflection block to the course. (ChrisHodgson is a genius!) This allows you to jot down your hunch during the investigation, and then refer back to your notes before the final reveal. Just like Columbo would. The voice of 'Annie' is 'River' from Storyline 360's AI Text-to-Speech. I exported the audio files and added the tinny tape recorder effect in Audacity. The audiovisual elements were made using CCO footage from Unsplash, with a dash of Synthesia, edited in Camtasia. Then I mixed it all together in Rise and... voila! One half-baked mystery.

A quick "simple process" custom block!
Just made a quick and dirty custom block to try it out and changed this from just a bulleted list of our product offerings to this! I used the "simple process" template and rearranged it to fit my needs. I love it! (I didn't take the time to even out the spacing between each box, but I had a lot of fun throwing this together!) This is my first challenge submission - thank you Articuland Summit Boston for inspiring me to give it a try!
