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?

If you insert a 360 open text question slide for feedback or space for the learner, will it save in Rise the next time a learner opens the file? I want to use Rise for an interactive workbook; but if I can't save my entries it will not function.

Hi Crystal, are we able to get an update on this. Is this something that has been added to the development roadmap? It's something a lot of people have been asking for over the last couple of year. It would be great to actually hear from the product manager and let people know if this feature is going to be included in a release anytime soon. When we send in feature requests it does feel a bit like sending an email into the void. We have worked around this issue using a Storyline block, but this comes with it's own pitfals such as the large play button to activate when viewed on mobile and it not being a truly responsive experiece. I think Articulate need to be a bit more transparent with the development of new features. We have had situations where significant money has been invested in building workarounds only to see the feature being released (seemingly out of the blue) in the next month or two. That leaves a bitter taste. With more transparency we can make better decisions for our clients. Thanks

Hi Justin, We're always looking at new quiz question types, and I appreciate you letting us know that a text entry question is important for your courses. It sounds like you're looking for a free response question with no correct answer, is that correct? I'm happy to pass along this idea for you!

Hello, Has this been implemented at all since this post? I am looking to do the same thing with no correct answer :)

+1 on this! Survey functionality with free text response so desperately needed. Or any way to capture free-text responses. Especially where organisations don't allow access to external sites.

Hi there. Adding my voice to this... we really need some open-ended, non-graded question possibilities!!!

Hello again,

Sorry to pester but I really think this could be quick win for Rise. I know developers make things look a lot easier than they really are but the first iteration of his feature could be really simple.

A block that allows the learner to enter text. It doesn't have to be scored or validated. It just needs to be saved and completed when text is entered so we can use the continue block to reveal feedback.

I know you have a lot on but the requests for this have been pretty consistent since Rise was released.

From an education stand point giving learners the time and space to reflect on their learning has been proven to be a valuable tool.

I have limited technical experience but give one of your developers day or two and I am sure they could put this together.

Please, please, please.

James
