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

Hi Ronnie,
A friend of mine just pointed me towards this post on the beta testing. Are you still allowing people to join? I am an instructional designer and trainer with a state agency. Part of my job is creating inclusive and accessible eLearning. I would like to incorporate Storyline into my tool kit, but have generally stayed away from it due to the lack of an accessibility checker.
Sincerely,
Lilja
Hey UnnurKaradot165 , I'd be happy to add you to the beta program! You should receive an email shortly.
Hi Ronnie_Pilman would it be possible to be added to this? My org has google forms blocked so I can't sign up that way.
Hey ShannonMille321 - Sure! I'll get you added shortly!
Thank you!!!
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!!
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! :)

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? 🙏

Received. Thank you!
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!
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_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! 😄
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.
