Behind the Build: custom Rise interactions that actually connect
We design custom Articulate Rise interactions that pull learners in — and walk through how to build interactions that connect to your content rather than decorate it.
Most "interactive" Rise content is really just clicking to reveal text. In this Behind the Build, we design interactions that genuinely connect — to the learner's context, to the story you're telling, and to the rest of the course.
What "connected" means#
A connected interaction does three things:
- It responds to a real decision the learner makes
- It carries meaning forward instead of resetting
- It feels native to the course, not bolted on
How we built it#
We use Mighty's custom blocks and a little scoped code to create interactions Rise can't do on its own — branching reveals, state that persists across blocks, and transitions that make the whole thing feel like one continuous experience.
The full walkthrough is at the top of this post. Pause and follow along inside your own Rise course.
Takeaways for your courses#
- Start from the decision, not the animation
- Reuse a global style so every interaction feels like a set
- Keep accessibility in mind — every interaction needs a keyboard path
