Learner Notes - Input Boxes
I would love to have a section that could be reachable at any point in the course for users to make notes or to comment? Has anybody seen any work arounds? Seems like a HUGE feature request, its just that our case studies and focus groups are showing that the end user want's to be able to make notes.

A note taking feature would be extremely valuable for us. Rise ticks a lot of the boxes but is let down by not having this feature. As this is crucial for our courses we are having to look elsewhere at other software options. We have experimenting using a Storyline block with text entry field but there seems to be no way for the learner to save/print out or export their responses so this a real limitation for us. Please add my vote for this feature - it would be amazing!

I wish I had a vote to give for everyone on my global team to the above request. A notes feature, even a simplistic one/scratch-pad/etc, is the most requested item from our instructors and learners. Telling them to open up Word or Notepad++ usually receives an eye roll.
We use Articulate Review internally and I understand how that would be tough to implement into an export. However, we've seen w/ the creative methods some users have made custom .js options to have note style inputs and printable output; I'm not sure why a similar feature wouldn't be feasible for Articulate to make an official block/feature for us to utilize.

+1 here too. Note taking feature with the ability to export to PDF or even LMS would be amazing

It looked as if a year ago (on this thread) this was added to the task list...? Has a feature for note taking become available yet in Rise? I've started using Rise for teaching a cohort of 300+ students and their overwhelming response to it is that it is a brilliant resource for their learning but they need to be able to annotate it with their own notes.
Without this feature, the students' feedback is so strong that I'm not sure it will be a viable resource to use with them long term.

Nope, nothing yet. Not sure how much of a priority it is for Articulate but my entire department of producers (along with all our learners) have been waiting patiently for this functionality.

Thank you Alyssa. This request is actually not for a survey but for a running Notes feature that Learners can use to capture thoughts throughout the course of training.

Please add a vote for the notepad in rise it would be so useful for the learners

Thanks for chiming in with your votes, folks! We don't have updates for this feature yet, but we'll be sure to let you know here if anything changes. You're in the right place!

+1, I just created yet ANOTHER Storyline block as a workaround for this. This would make my job so much easier!

I'm really surprised given the volume and weight of discussion here that this request hasn't been progressed in three years. This would be a massive win for us if we had the ability to note take - learning without the ability to make notes reduces the effectiveness of retention.

Not sure if anyone is still active here but Mike Amelangs learning notes in Rise is fantastic. Would love to see if becoming part of the out of the box Rise so that I can implement it without worrying if further updates might ruin it. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/33873893-2ea1-46d9-9415-3efca951d74c/review

Hey Cindy,
Our BLOG entry from November 2015 offered one solution you may want to consider. http://www.thearticulatetrainer.com/how-can-i-create-a-space-for-learners-to-write-notes-in-my-course/
Actually - I just realized this thread was a RISE thread - sorry - the solution I posted was for Storyline.
