We love Articulate Rise for its speed, simplicity, and beautiful responsiveness. However, as learning professionals, we've all hit that wall—the moment a creative idea for a truly unique interaction is limited by the standard blocks.
What if you could break free? What if you could build sophisticated, custom interactions directly within Rise, not in days, but in minutes?
The future of course development is here, and it's a powerful partnership between Mighty's advanced HTML block and the creative coding power of Google's Gemini AI.
The Challenge: Beyond the Standard Blocks
Standard Rise blocks are fantastic for consistency, but they can lead to predictable, "click-next" experiences. When we want to design a custom sales calculator, a dynamic decision-making scenario, or a complex equipment diagram, we often have to compromise our vision or embed clunky web objects.
The Solution: A New Paradigm
This new workflow changes everything. Here’s how it works:
- The Canvas (Mighty's HTML Block): Think of it as a supercharged, blank canvas inside your Rise course. It gives you the freedom to use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without limitations.
- The Architect (Gemini AI): Instead of being a coding expert, you become a creative director. You describe the interaction you want to build to Gemini, and it generates the precise, clean code needed to bring it to life.
Benefit 1: Dynamic Tools
Before: You're creating a course for a sales team. To explain the new commission structure, you use a Rise text block to write out the formula and provide a static table with a few examples.
After: You want learners to feel the impact. You ask Gemini: "Create an interactive sales commission calculator..." You paste the code into a Mighty HTML block. Now, learners can plug in their own numbers, experiment, and get immediate, personalized feedback. They aren't just reading; they're actively using it.
Benefit 2: Rapid Prototyping
The Goal: Create a "Label the Parts" interaction for a piece of industrial machinery.
The New Way: You prompt Gemini to create a responsive drag-and-drop interaction. It generates the complete HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You paste it into a Mighty block and upload your image. In less than 15 minutes, you have a hands-on, kinesthetic learning activity.
Benefit 3: Hyper-Personalization
At the start of the course, a simple AI-built form asks for the learner's name and role. Now, your scenarios can be personalized: "Okay, Sarah, one of your key stakeholders is angry about a missed deadline. As a Project Manager, what is your immediate next step?" This transforms a generic question into a personal challenge.
Conclusion: You Are the Architect
The combination of flexible tools like Mighty's HTML block and intelligent assistants like Gemini AI represents a fundamental shift in our roles. We are no longer just course assemblers; we are learning experience architects. Our creativity, not the platform's limitations, is now the boundary.
