434 ON-DEMAND: Creative Tips for Enhancing Learning Engagement in Articulate Rise

3:00 PM - 4:00 PM Thursday, October 22

DDX On-Demand sessions are recorded videos you can access starting at this date and time and watch at your own convenience.
Have you been curious about developing a Rise course that goes beyond knowledge acquisition and takes the experience to an advanced level of thinking? Have you ever wanted to collect data from a Rise course but didn't have the budget for xAPI integration, or wondered how to create an interaction in Storyline to use with a Storyline block? Articulate Rise is a rapid development tool that can be used as an alternative to Articulate Storyline to create engaging learning solutions, especially in situations with budget or timeline constraints. Because of the rapid development nature, Rise has limited capabilities in terms of the "block" options that can be used when designing and building a learning solution. While Rise provides "blocks" of basic activities for presenting content, such as flash cards or interactive hotspots, developing in Rise often requires creative thinking to take engagement to the next level.

In this session, you'll learn how to take a creative "think outside of the box" approach to learning design using Articulate Rise in order to achieve a user experience that will increase engagement and higher-level thinking. You'll explore why creating an engaging user experience is important for optimal learning, and how to leverage tools beyond the built-in "block" features to make this happen. Specifically, you'll learn how to use Articulate Storyline to create meaningful interactions by practicing using sliders and drag-n-drops, as well as how to create client-specific experiences such as a custom calculator and scenario. Next, you'll learn how to use Typeform as a tool for audience polling, data collection, gathering feedback, and open-ended questioning to facilitate information processing and reflection. You'll also walk away with a variety of "hacks" to make your Rise course even better, such as a template with custom dimensions to export images with embedded text labels that fit perfectly within the flashcard block, how to place a logo in a header image that will appear correctly on any responsive device, and how to embed videos using tools such as VideoScribe. Did you know you can also use Articulate Review as for social learning? It's true! You'll learn how to turn a Rise course into a social learning experience and see a successful example of how that can look when implemented effectively.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How to use Storyline to create meaningful interactions to increase learner engagement (e.g., slider, scenario, drag-n-drop, calculator, etc.)
  • How to use Typeform to create a poll, for data collection, feedback, and open-ended response questions to encourage higher-level thinking and reflection
  • How to embed videos such as VideoScribe into the Rise course
  • How to make a Rise course a social learning experience
  • How to create images with embedded text labels that are the perfect size for the flashcard block
  • How to embed a logo into a header image that effectively responds on any device
