If you have looked at our Storyline demonstration of a downloadable Likert-style survey, you will know that we can easily create an impressive multi-part survey using sliders. The users’ survey answers are stored as slider values in Storyline variables which can be retrieved using JavaScript code at the end of the course and the results displayed in a downloadable pdf. BUT… what if you want to do the same thing in RISE??
The challenge is that RISE doesn’t have variables and, if we insert Storyline blocks in our course to ask the survey questions, the stored variables are lost as soon as the learner exits from each block. To be able to capture the survey answers and use them later in the course, we have to find somewhere to store them.
One solution is to use the browser’s ‘local storage’ as the repository for the data we need to retain. In this demonstration, each Storyline survey block picks up the learner’s input and then stores the variables in local browser storage ready to be retrieved and placed in the downloadable survey results pdf at the end of the course.

In the demonstration, we have a simple 3 lesson RISE course on “Introduction to evironmental sustainability”. At the end of each lesson there is a slider-based quick survey to capture input from the learner:
At the end of the course, the learner is invited to download a pdf file that contains their responses to all three surveys:
