STOP! How to PROPERLY use Custom Blocks in RISE | Articulate RISE Custom Blocks Tutorial

💬 "Imagine creating stunning, customizable course elements—all within a single platform." Articulate Rise's new custom blocks feature is a game-changer, combining graphic design capabilities directly into your course builder. No more juggling external tools or re-uploading graphics for every tweak. But with great power comes... a few caveats. Here’s what makes custom blocks exciting (and where you might need to tread carefully): 🌟 [The Pros] - Seamless theme color updates: Adjust your course’s branding in one step, and watch your custom blocks align instantly. - Built-in graphic design tools: No need for external software—create, edit, and refine directly in Rise. - Easy translations: Text within graphics is now translation-ready, saving hours of manual work. ⚠️ [The Cons] - Accessibility challenges: Mobile resizing issues and lack of screen reader optimization could limit usability. - Beta status: As a new feature, custom blocks might evolve—or even disappear—making long-term reliance risky. - Closed captions for videos: Currently unsupported, which could affect content accessibility. 💡 [How to Get the Most Out of It] → Use custom blocks for eye-catching, branded elements—but avoid making them the backbone of your course just yet. → Stick to narrow designs for better mobile responsiveness. → Test for accessibility to ensure your content is inclusive. It’s an exciting step forward for e-learning design, but knowing both the strengths and limitations will keep you ahead of the curve. Are you ready to experiment with custom blocks? Or are you waiting for the beta phase to pass? Let’s discuss—how will you use this feature in your next project?
