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, for example, developing in Rise often requires creative thinking to take engagement to the next level.

In this hands-on session, you'll learn how taking a creative "think outside of the box" approach to learning design for Articulate Rise can lead to a user experience that will increase engagement and higher-level thinking. You'll explore why creating an engaging user experience is important and how to bring in tools beyond the built-in "block" features to make this happen. You'll learn how to use Articulate Storyline to create meaningful interactions using sliders and drag-n-drops, and how to create client-specific experiences such as a custom calculator and scenario. You'll learn how to use Typeform as a tool for polling, data collection (when xAPI is out of the budget scope), collecting feedback, and open-ended questioning to encourage higher-level thinking and reflection. You'll walk away with a variety of "hacks" to make your Rise course even better, such as how to use 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. You'll learn how to think beyond a "course" and use Rise as a repository of assets to create a personalized learning path. You'll also learn how to turn a Rise course into a social learning experience and experience how that can look when implemented.

In this session, you will learn:

• Why it's important to create an engaging user experience
• 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
