The AODA Standards are actually provincial standards for Ontario. The national (Canadian) accessibility standards are typically more WCAG 2.0. I believe content developed with Storyline can be WCAG 2.0 with a bit of tweeking. You might find this discussion useful.
From what I've been able to gather, AODA prescribes compliance with WCAG 2.0 level A and AA, depending on the organization serving the content and the year built. See the table on this page:
According to this chart, for all large organizations (50+ employees) new content built after January 1, 2014 must meet WCAG level A. After 2021, all content will need to meet AA.
The Webaim checklist does a good job of illustrating the differences between A, AA, and AAA.
Fern, I took a really good course on AODA compliance specifically for Storyline. I got all of my questions answered there. Are you going to be at the Toronto Articulate roadshow? I could give you a bunch of info there, or if you have specific questions DM me.

Thanks for your input Isa. I just need to meet the Ontario provincial standards.
Hi Linda,
Did you find out any more information regarding the AODA standards? I am struggling with the same question as well.
