We like to hear how you’re using Evolve and what features you’d like to see in the future.

If you have an idea for a killer feature then let us know in these forums.

Post in this category with your enhancement idea, how it might benefit the wider Evolve community, which component (if any) it would affect or how it might work if it’s a totally new component.

I’m interested in a combination of Course assessment with (linked) confidence sliders. Learners would be able to think about their learning goals and reflect on their progress. When they do now, they miss an overview of these results. What do you think of this idea?

Hello Marleone, thanks for your suggestion. Have you taken a look at the Reflections extension as a way for your learners to look back at their progress?

Would be really great if we could select confidence slider components to display on the reflection document. Now it seems to work only with open input components.

Would anyone be interested in a word search feature for the entire course (on all pages, articles, blocks and components as a group … instead of having to search per item?

Is there a way to force input in an OpenInput component?
Currently all the learner has to do is click the Save button to advance.
How can we make sure that the learner makes an entry?

Last one … for real :grinning:

Is there a way to disable articles, blocks or components to avoid long or involved actions during design/development only? Then re-enable them when ready.

I’d submitted about 200 enhacement ideas through the poor support team (sorry Malcolm!) They must be sick of me by now.

Can’t wait to see the new text editor in 3.12, and look forward to more cool features coming soon :slight_smile:

Hi @barnetf you could use the content locking extension - this would allow you to lock articles and force input from the learner by linking unlocking to the open input.

11

@barnetf Do you mean hiding them or collapsing them while using the Evolve editor?

Thanks @anon59780582. I’ve got an audio component and an OpenInput component in the same block.
Completion status on the audio is set to “Play”.
The following article does use Content Locking:

  • Lock this content object is set
  • Locking type is set to Components
  • Select components - the OpenInput component is selected

I’m trying to force the audio to be played and input into the OpenInput component (can not be left empty).

I’m having difficulty working this out.

@anon59780582, I’m looking for a way to avoid executing a long or involved section (an article, block or component) while developing to save time. Is there a way to comment or “gray” it out until ready to turn it back on?

In the editor no this isn’t currently possible. It is possible to jump from one article to the next or use the comments system to navigate directly to comments. @barnetf

Hi folks,
Is there a way to have content appear (fade in) automatically upon completion of the dialogue component?
I’d like to present a conversation between two people, then have a paragraph of text fade in to emphasise the point.

Hello @benwebber

You could use Content locking and have the locked article unlock/appear on completion of the dialogue component.

To do this:

  • Create 2 articles on a page. 1 will hold the dialogue component and 1 for the text component.

  • Navigate to Extensions > Content Locking and enable it.

    content-locking-article-settings
    content-locking-article-settings836Ă—628 13.5 KB

  • Navigate to the article containing the text component and under the Article settings select Content locking and choose the Dialogue component as the component that unlocks the article containing the text component.

content-locking-article
content-locking-article800Ă—505 31.4 KB

  • You may also want to Disable Notify as well.
  • Finally under the Appearance settings you are able to select whether the article fades/blurs into view.

We have more animation work on our roadmap but I hope this work around helps in the meantime.

Great thanks for the tip @appitierre!
THis works, but a cleaner experience is preferable. ie locked content completely invisible invisible and no icon at all. But this works for now.
Thanks again!

I will pass this along to our dev team for consideration @benwebber

Hi all, is there a way to control text margin on the rear of a flip card? It would be great to be able to reduce the container width depending on how much text you would like to present.

Hello Marleone,

I will pass your suggestion along to our developer team.
