Could You Pass the 1912 Exam?
The examining board is waiting. In 1912, Bullitt County students gathered at the courthouse once or twice a year to sit the Common Examination. The local newspaper urged even seventh graders to start preparing early. It was a big deal. For Challenge #549, I didn't redesign the exam. I stepped into it. It starts by asking for your Christian name. Not your name. Your Christian name, because that is what a 1912 Kentucky schoolmaster would have said. That one detail sets the tone for everything that follows. The examiner knows your name and isn't shy about using it. The margin notes are handwritten and pointed. The feedback is sarcastic, whether you are right or wrong. Your result arrives as the front page of the Bullitt County Gazette. Personalised headline, rubber stamp verdict, and Superintendent O. Harned's wax seal. If you score zero, the editors note they have done what they can. Go on then. Submit for marking.
Crossword
I vibe coded a crossword puzzle interaction in the new Articulate Rise custom html block to support our Accounts Review training. It took about an hour of back-and-forth with Copilot to get this working. Check it out here https://rise.articulate.com/share/OHzJApuSIhFcNe4GLwmto58-5dg_-j-C#/lessons/3cT6ydJmoggnBlDSVsXmKaxp11ASrlKp Full HTML code is below the preview, feel free to adapt it and repurpose for own projects.Valentine's Express
Valentine's Express is an interactive experience where users navigate personality-based scenarios and craft notes and love letters. They choose a personality type, receive personalized feedback, and earn a Romance Expert certificate. This entry doubles as my submission for both the E-Learning Valentine Challenge AND the Code Block Build-a-thon. It was my first time building with code blocks in Rise, and I'm amazed at what's possible. Ready to express your heart?

Hello! 👋 I would like to share another project I’ve been working on — The Million Dollar Challenge, a fully interactive, game-based quiz experience that I built with some help from AI. This project is based on a popular gameshow, applying the same mechanics and gameplay to the quiz. With some prompts, guidance, and code generation from AI, here's a game that’s fun, challenging, and suitable for embedding into any course. Just tweak the question and answer choice sets and you'll have a game that could help achieve your course learning objectives. Usability: Easy to Play: One click to start, intuitive question/answer flow. Engaging Learning Tool: Perfect for knowledge checks, gamified assessments, or review activities. Customizable: Swap out questions, tweak prize amounts, change colors, or edit sounds to match your brand. Accessible Interaction: Clear text, large clickable buttons, and visual cues. Give The Million Dollar Challenge a try in this demo and let me know your thoughts on how you can integrate this into your e-learning projects if this is something that you would actually use for serious topics (compliance, safety training) or lighthearted refreshers. If you have suggestions on how to make the game even better, feel free to let me know; would love to know what you think. 🙂Reading a Micrometer
My first foray into Rise Coding using ChatGPT and very little knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I am excited with the results so far, but I know I have some refinement to do. Maybe making the overall package smaller. For example, when I upload it into Rise, it takes some time to load, then it works fine. I am not even sure how to upload the file here.Fun and Gamified Learning with Code Block (Beta) feature in Artiulate Rise 360
Developed using Artiulate Rise 360’s new Code Block (Beta) feature, this interactive game challenges learners to click targets before they disappear. Each target adds points. Click the link below to try it now and see if you can top your best score! https://www.brilliantteams.com.au/gamified-learning-with-rise360-code-block-feature/🕹️ NeonNet Cognitive Console
This week’s challenge entry explores when open text questions are most useful. Instead of scoring or tracking, the interaction focuses on reflection: learners type their own response, compare it with a model answer, and then give themselves a simple self-rating. It’s a light, playful build in a retro console style, designed to show how the Rise Code Block can be used for more than just quizzes. The interaction demonstrates how to: Encourage learner ownership through reflection. Blend open text entry with self-assessment. Keep feedback flowing without breaking immersion. The full HTML/CSS/JS code sits just below the interaction, so you can lift it and repurpose or remix it as you like. Check it out here!Hoppy Adventures: Coin Capture
Hoppy Adventures: Coin Capture Just a fun spin on assessments - inspired by Jeff Batt's Code block YouTube video. Hoppy is the mascot at my company so a fun play on including it into the game made sense. I know, I know, should have been frogger. You go around collecting coins, dodging predators, and answering questions to level up. I tried to blend old school 8-bit novelty and Pacman type gameplay and movement with the coin gathering. After every 10 coins, players pause to answer a multiple-choice question—six in total—to complete the module. Questions are built into a JSON file so we can manage and track easier. This build seemed like a fun way to try out this new feature. Try it here!
