Hi E-Learning Heroes, I’m working to ensure our Rise 360 courses meet WCAG accessibility standards, particularly around line height (minimum 1.5) and font size for readability. Here’s what I’ve noticed: The default line spacing for the text blocks seems to be around 1.9, which is great. When I manually set line spacing to 1.5 in the editor, it looks much tighter, almost like single spacing. (not that you need to, but I was curious) Knowledge check blocks and some interactive elements appear to use much smaller line heights and font sizes than body text. Has anyone documented the actual default line heights and font sizes for each block type in Rise 360? If you have this information in a table format, that would be incredibly helpful for accessibility checks. Thanks in advance!19Views0likes1CommentDrop Down activity Manual Result Score not Showing on LMS.

Hi everyone, Something I’ve noticed over the years is that most people only see the final course: the polished screen, the clean interaction, the tidy flow from start to finish. But designers see everything underneath it. We see the messy first drafts, the unclear SME notes, the rewrites, the “wait… does this actually make sense?” moments. We see the small decisions that quietly hold the whole experience together. And honestly, that invisible work is where so much of the quality lives. For me, great learning design isn’t just about content or visuals. It’s the structure behind them: the clarity of the flow, the way ideas build, how we reduce friction for learners, and how we make sure nothing feels confusing or overwhelming. Every time I work with a team, one pattern stands out: when clarity improves, everything else follows. Learners feel more confident. Modules feel smoother. And the review process becomes so much easier for everyone involved. I’d love to hear from the group: What small practices help you strengthen clarity or flow in your Storyline or Rise courses? Always curious to learn from others’ approaches.6Views1like0CommentsWelcome to Week 1 of the E-Learning Heroes Passport Challenge!

Hi all! I'd like to hear your thoughts about AI voices in training and educational material. As a neurodivergent, I personally find them distracting and less supportive of learning, despite increasing popularity. I've read that human voices improve learner outcomes/retention etc, yet many folks in our industry seem to love AI narration features. As someone who has both recorded voiceovers and generated them, I don't see an obvious reason to rely so heavily on the latter other than time constraints. Sure, it may save a couple hours of production time, but if learner outcomes aren't improving, shouldn't we reconsider this approach and put the audience experience first? Please share your thoughts! I'm really curious to hear more about this. Maybe I'm missing a key point here! Maybe I'm in a minority of disliking AI voices? And just to be clear, I’m not referring to screen readers or assistive text-to-speech. Those serve a completely different purpose and are essential for accessibility! I’m talking specifically about replacing full-course narration with synthetic voices.8Views0likes0CommentsBest Certification for Breaking into Instructional Design field
I am mentoring an Educator (with a Master's in Teaching) and 15 years of teaching fifth-grade science as well as pre-school. This educator wants to transfer her skills to break into the Instructional Design field. What are the best certifications programs for this type of professional?1.9KViews2likes17CommentsFast AI Moodboards in Visily.ai
In this short tutorial, I walk through how I use Visily.ai to create a polished 12-slide AI moodboard for training and instructional design projects. The workflow is simple: gather your inspo, align with brand assets, write a clear prompt in Grok 4.1, and let Visily.ai generate high-fidelity layouts that guide the entire visual direction of the course. This approach helps you explore concepts quickly and present a strong visual foundation before moving into development.

Hello! I'm an instructional design student and brand new to this. I have an assignment due soon that I've been working really hard on! It's a branching scenario starting with 4 initial choices. I thought I could do this in Rise 360 as an interactive scenario, but it doesn't seem to let me go far enough. I've watched several tutorials (which is why I though I could do this), and the AI pop up help isn't much help either. I don't think I have time to watch all of the tutorials. I'm hoping someone can let me know if this is possible - and if not, what do I need to do for next steps to create this? Maybe I need to work in Storyline? It's a lot of steps.... I probably made it too complicated for a beginner project. It's a group project though, so I'm committed and I'd love to get it done as efficiently as possible.60Views0likes2Comments
