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?
Thank you Christina, Carl, Ashley, Nikoleta, Chris and Joan for lending you voices to this discussion.
Ashley, there's no way to remove that X for now, but if that's something you'd like to see, please do submit a feature request here.
+1 for a free entry text question/survey of some kind in Rise - is there any update on this?
Hi Lauren,
Thanks for reaching out!

I'll add my voice to this feature-request choir for greater freeform text entry...thanks!
Thanks for your feedback! Our team has a feature request logged for this capability and I will make sure your voice gets added to the discussion.
Me too please on the text entry question and the survey thingie :)
Being able to have learners write in text and/or record their voice -and allowing us to then connect responses to the learner - would be an extremely helpful feature.
We're using Rise exported as xAPI communicating with an LRS (Learning Locker). One thing we added is the ability for the user to answer a question where there is no correct or incorrect answer, we just wanted the user to be able to answer.
The answer is stored in the LRS. When the user opens the Rise course again, it retrieves the information from the LRS and displays it inside the text entry block as "Last Response: ". If you wish, you could enter something else and overwrite the previous one.
This is not an out-of-the-box Rise feature, it's an add-on JavaScript after exporting the Rise course but it doesn't require any programming to add. Again, only works if you're using xAPI and an LRS.
That's amazing! Any way you'd be willing to share your javascript for this?
What we're trying to do is have a reflection question text-entry in a Storyline block in Rise that sends the user's answer to an LRS. We would like to have a record of all the reflections and even maybe compile them into a PDF at the end of the course for each user but are not sure how to do this.
Hi Mandla,
Sure! The current version will save the text entry in a statement. I could add the functionality to retrieve all your reflections at the end and create a PDF on the fly for download. Connect with me at olahzsolt@hotmail.com .

If only this would work on an LMS, it would cure my headache :)
Any movement on this from a few months ago.
Hi there,

I'm in a similar situation as Sarah. We're just wanting to use a text entry with a function to reveal feedback. Using the Storyline block with the play button on mobiles might have been fine but we're having all sorts of trouble with weird scaling and the white player showing despite being turned off.
Hi Sarah and Mish,
We don't currently have a survey-style text entry field in Rise 360, but we are still tracking the demand for this request. I'm sorry I don't have an alternative to the Storyline block idea, but I'll let you know here if that changes!
It seems like this functionality - a free text entry question where results get saved for review by admins in LMS - was requested, popular and in demand a while back.
I to have a need for this. Any idea when it might be available in Rise?
Hi there, Brad. I'm sorry that I don't have an ETA for this feature currently.
+1 for the above. Definitely need an open text box response (with no correct answer) option in Rise360.
