Caption bar on the timeline
Potential software enhancement that might really streamline things during development: Is there a way to visualize/edit the CC bubbles ON the timeline in SL so we can edit the captions *and* help align our objects to the narration? Maybe just give us the words in the narration (timed to align with when the AI narrator speaks them) on a row like other timeline objects. Ideally, we could edit the captions, narration & notes from there and add breaks on that line like we add cue points to distinguish where the text should break between the caption bubbles. Perhaps it would be easier than just seeing the audio wave bar or editing the CC in another pop up. May also appreciate the option to toggle this feature on/off if we have a timeline that is on the morbidly obese side. ;-)Having a transcript option in the main player
Having the transcript option directly within the main player, particularly when there's a voice-over for the slides, makes a lot of sense. Users are already engaging with the content in the main player. Suddenly jumping to a separate video player just to access the transcript creates unnecessary friction. It introduces two sets of controls for playback, seeking, and captions, which can lead to confusion and disrupt seamlessness. Integrating the transcript directly into the main player would beautifully streamline the process. Users could follow along with the voice-over and the text simultaneously, all within the same interface. This would simplify navigation and cater to varied learning preferences and accessibility needs.Course Completion on Knowledge Check Question
In Rise, along with course completion based on a quiz score, I also want to be able to track course completion based on a knowledge check question. This way, I can use an inline attestation of course completion without building a separate quiz page and asking the learner to go to yet another screen to answer the one-question attestation, get the quiz score, and then go to the Exit button. I'd prefer to create an inline knowledge check asking them if they attest to completing the course, lock the progress so they can't proceed to the Exit button without answering, and then drop the Exit button block right below the question. This enables me to do an elegant closing on a single page. Example: Summary Text block here Attestation Single question here (You must answer the question to proceed) Exit Button BlockStoryline Media Library - Add Icons
Icons inserted into Storyline can have alt text. Can the Media Library have an extra tab for 'Icons' so the accessibility/alt text field can be easily gotatable in one place, rather than having to find each icon and then manually editing its alt text. It also would be good just as a reference to know where the icons were used and how many are in the project.EAA Videos (Transcripts)
One of the recommendations/requirements of the European Accessibility Act is to provide downloadable audio/video transcripts or alternative text-based versions of video and audio content which enables learners to access the information in a format that suits their needs and preferences. Would it be a good idea to allow the video block to have the option of uploading a transcript, just like you do with subtitles? This would avoid adding a separate accordion or file download for the transcript. The transcript could then be an extra player control button to download/view. A much tidier solution.Screen Recording: Hide instruction callout after successful submission of the proper action
Hide the callout with instructions automatically after the user clicks the appropriate hotspot / performs the required action: As soon as a longer screen capture (several seconds) follows the user activity, the callout indicating where to click or what to do is still visible. It should be implemented that as soon as the user clicks the correct hotspot/triggers the proper action, this callout is automatically hidden. It is a lot of work to do that manually and should be no problem at all to add to the software thus providing the trigger automatically for step-by-step slides in try mode.
