Accessibility Checker Early Access Sign-up
Hello everyone,
If you've noticed this on the roadmap or seen the demo at DevLearn last November, you know we're building a new Accessibility Checker feature for Storyline 360. The Accessibility Checker will surface potential a11y issues that could prevent some learners from getting the most out of your course. Even better, it will explain why the issue is important to fix, how you can fix it, and, in some cases, it will even fix it for you with a single click!
We've been working hard on this feature for the past several months and are nearly ready to let a small group of customers try it out and provide feedback via our Early Access program. Participants in the Early Access program will be able to use the feature via the Storyline private beta and communicate directly with the engineering team to ask questions and provide feedback that will help shape the final version of the feature.
If you're interested in participating in the Early Access program, please fill out this interest form: https://lnkd.in/eFAPU3KD
NOTE: Not all customers currently in the private beta program will be able to use the Accessibility Checker while it's in Early Access. Once Early Access concludes, the feature will be available to all private beta users for a period of time before being released to everyone.
Thanks,
Ronnie

I am interested in participating in this but have not used my Beta access in some time. Can you please reach out to me.
Hi Derek -
If you're interested in participating, please fill out the Google form. I'll also send you an email and connect with you.
Hello, Ronnie!
One of our developers found your blog entry and is interested in participating in the program! We noticed the form is no longer accepting answers, given the late time we're reaching out. Do you still, by any chance, have 1 open spot for our dev?
Hi bylittlelearnin - I would be happy to get them added to the early access program for the accessibility checker. Let me reach out to you via email so I may get their information.
That's awesome, Ronnie! We really appreciate it! We'll reply to you shortly via email.
Hi, I am new to this platform and saw early access to the accessibility checker. I am creating a training guide on how to remediate storyline courses. I work for a healthcare agency, and it would be so helpful if I could join the Early Access Program for the Accessibility Checker tool in Storyline.
Hi KarenTaylor-e30 , The Early Access program is ending soon, and we're about to release the accessibility checker to private beta. If you'd like, I can add you to the beta program so you can try out the feature there.
Hi, Ronnie, that would be wonderful and helpful for the work I am doing now. Thank you, and I look forward to being a beta tester.
Hi Ronnie_Pilman,
I'm afraid I missed the boat for Early Access sign up too.
Would it be possible to add me to the Beta Program so I can test this feature too? 🙏Many thanks!
Hey Kingman - I'd be happy to get you enrolled in the beta program! Be on the look out for a welcome email soon!
Blindingly fast response! Many thanks Ronnie, appreciate it! 😄
Do you have room for me also with the beta program? I work for the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment, as the Accessibility Coordinator for our Employment & Training division. Our division recently started using Articulate and are in the process of learning more about it's capabilities. It would be very helpful to me and my team if I could start using the Accessibility checker.
Hey Renee, I'd be happy to enroll you in the beta program! I'll work on getting you set up and added. You'll receive an email shortly.
Hello Ronnie,
If possible could I be added to the beta program?
Hi Ronnie - Is there a tentative release date of this feature for everyone? If not in the near future, I'd loved to be added to the beta testing.
Hey TracyMarando-b1 - We don't have a specific date just yet, but I'll be more than happy to add you to the beta program.
Awesome, thank you!
Hi Ronnie_Pilman,
I work for Palmetto Goodwill, and we are very passionate in creating an inclusive learning environment for our team. We are comprised of such a wide variety of abilities in our organization and I was wondering if it would be possible to add me to the Beta Program so I can test this feature too? 🙏

Hi ElizabethKinney - I'd be happy to get you added! You should receive an email shortly!
Received. Thank you!
Hi Ronnie! If possible, may I please have access to the accessibility checker in beta? I'm excited about it, and would really like to try it out! :)
I should probably add: I work for Covered California as a Learning Program Specialist.
Hey ShalakaBhagwat - I'll get you added! You should receive an email soon!
Hello Ronnie! If it is not too late, I would also love to have access to the beta program for Storyline's Accessibility Checker. Thank you! :)
Hey DenizIlkbasaran - I'll be happy to get you enrolled! You should get an email shortly with some more information.
Hi Ronnie_Pilman - would I be able to enroll in the beta testing? I'm the training lead in the digital accessibility office at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Thank you!
Hi LaneFields - Yes, of course! I'll get you setup and enrolled first thing tomorrow morning!
Thanks!!
