Text entry blank in Rise
I'm developing some material and the project owner has asked about the feasibility of allowing end users to input text which could be reported back to our LMS. We'd then view the entered text and use the information to direct future training efforts. I had to tell the owner this isn't possible now but that I'd ask if something like this was forthcoming. Are there any plans for adding text entry as a block/interaction/quiz option?
+1 for this feature as our elearnings do have reflection questions associated with our topics. This would be amazing to have.
Hi Mandla,
What your describing is exactly what I had custom made for my course. Essentially, the record of reflects is stored in a user profile where they can also edit from the profile side. Let me know if you want more information. I'm happy to help.

+1 for this. I am building a course using Rise where students watch a video and share their thoughts. So, YES - I need an ability in Rise 360 to record the "Survey type" question they answer within Rise 360.
Needless to say, my entire course is based on this model and hence, recording of information is non-negotiable. Appreciate if we could get any update on where this feature is at in your backlog.
I clearly see a need for this (as voiced by others here) and yet it's been over 1+ years and don't know what's happening :-)Hi Ananth,
To help with your planning, I don't see this feature being developed in the next few months. We've prioritized this request, but I don't have an ETA to share yet. We'll keep you posted here.
Hi all, is there any chance we can get a rough timing on features that are on the road map, prioritized and not prioritized. I understand this feature (survey style input box) is on the roadmap, but not prioritized.
But, what does this mean to us in terms of seeing it rolled out? Is this late 2020, early/mid/late 2021 or beyond 2021.
The roadmap doesn't really mean anything to us without knowing when features will arrive. I understand that dates shift and release of new features can be delayed, but it would be great to have some sense of which features are scheduled for release when.
The reason I ask this is, across Storyline and Rise forums, I've seen threads where features are being asked for for several years and the same responses has to be rolled out by support each time (no fault of support, I know), but its frustrating seeing threads spanning years and not being any clearer on a release schedule.
This is just more of a general comment around the roadmap and and feature releases rather than this specific feature.
We managed to build a solution for this using Storyline blocks. We save the data to a cmi.interaction on the LMS, and use cmi.comments to store the data also, so we can pull it back from the LMS to show alongside a model answer. It's not perfect, as we know Storyline 360 just scales in size (doesn't respond) and also has the negative experience within Rise on mobile, in that Storyline blocks have to be activated by a "tap" before they can be used. We had to make the decision to make the block text and button large enough, so that when they scaled on mobile they were still legible, which makes them look quite large on desktop.
It would be great to have this as a native solution though, as whilst our solution is good, the mobile experience isn't great.
Thank you Alyssa.
Hi Annabelle,
Do you need to capture the data from learner responses? If not, you could always build a free response question in Storyline and embed it in Rise using a Storyline Block.
Hi Alyssa,
I'd like to capture text responses to a video / audio file I'm embedding in a course. Just as the questions above I'll just need to be able to collect this data and not score it. Can I create something in Storyline and them have this fed through to our LMS? So far all we've done is record success or incomplete so this will be something new.
Love RISE it's all I use for my course development atm.
Alyssa,
I realize it's been quite some time since you responded to this question, but I'm wondering if it's possible to have a text entry field in Rise that doesn't have a correct response (I'm not worried about recording the responses in our LMS) and that doesn't require my learner to hit a play button in order to function on a phone. If I use a Storyline block, the learner has to click a play button, input their text, and then X out of the Storyline block. Then they aren't able to see their input unless they re-open the Storyline block with the play button. Do you know of a work around for this?
Hey Matthew!
This isn't a feature in Rise yet, but thanks for letting us know it's important to you. It's always helpful to know how in-demand a feature is.
Thanks for letting us know how we can make Rise even better for your needs!
+1 for this. Is there a current workaround? I see other people mentioning building out the open-ended response type in Storyline and including it as a block in Rise, but would the responses be captured by the LMS?
Great question, Joel. While you can send a Storyline Block quiz score to the LMS, the individual responses won't be captured by the LMS.
Thanks for letting us know an open-ended response question is important to you, and we'll let you know if this gets added to Rise in the future!
