Are you looking to create more engaging interactions that everyone can experience? Some course creators mistakenly think they have to avoid certain online learning activities in order to meet access...

Hi all,
I cannot get this to work with a real drag and drop. When I say real, I mean one that can be scored and have multiple draggable items dropped (or moved) into a drop area.
In my example I have 9 draggable objects that appear one at a time, which need to be dropped onto 1 of 3 drop areas. When dropped, the draggable state is switched to hidden and the next draggable item appears.
If I use the keyboard to move an item over the drop area, nothing happens and the 'drop' is not registered.
The only way I think I can achieve this would be with multiple triggers and variables that update when am item's motion path completes.
It seems like an awful lot of work for interactivity that I would have hoped would be included in Storyline after all these years.
So, I think I'll need to ditch the use of drag and drops and let the client know that they are not accessible.
I will try again to make this work, but I would love Articulate to make the drag and drop interaction keyboard accessible.
Thanks for reading.

Hey Barry! So sorry that it's not working. I set this up as more of a knowledge check, so I didn't use the built-in drag and drop quizzing feature. I know this was built in Storyline 360, but as a future option, I wanted to let you know that we're currently working on an accessible drag-and-drop feature for Rise 360. Here's more info about it: https://articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-Feature-Roadmap#:~:text=Accessible%20Drag%2Dand%2DDrop%20Interactions
