Very nice, Troy, and informative as well. :) Given the circumstances of early-Nov 2016 and mid/late-Jan 2017, like many Americans I kind of want to move to Canada, and your course only increases that desire! ;)
Question: None of the websites you reference have clickable links that open a separate window (well, no links that do anything at all). Does Rise not support/enable this? I think that would be a huge downside, and since I didn't try to "link out" to anything in my own initial stab at course development with this new tool, I'd really like to know whether this is possible. I do know you can put a link into the click-able, interactive info-graphics (like your map), but your interface makes me wonder if the overall "blocks" lack this feature ... ?
I was doing this on a Windows 10 tablet and, like Nicole above, I found that the quiz with card-sorting was "dead-on-arrival" until I clicked back into my keyboard/mousepad. I know from already having had contact with Articulate Support staff that Rise is *not* especially touch-responsive, yet that is "the way the world is going," so I really hope the company reconsiders this important point 'cuz I'd like to see this product succeed!
