Do Storyline 360's Graded and Suvey Questions conform to WCAG2.0?

Jul 27, 2018

I remember that in Storyline 2, certain question types were not accessible.

There doesn't seem to a similar statement for Storyline 360.

Do Storyline 360's Graded and Suvey Questions conform to WCAG2.0?

Thanks

Hi Alfred,

Storyline 360 supports Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

Keyboard navigation is supported in graded and survey question types. 

However, the following drag-and-drop and hotspot interactions require a mouse for navigation, making them difficult or impossible to use for mobility-impaired learners. If you add them to your course, provide text-based or keyboard-controlled alternatives.

Form-Based Interactions:

  • Matching drag-and-drop
  • Sequence drag-and-drop
  • Ranking drag-and-drop
  • Word bank/which word
  • Hotspot

Freeform Interactions:

  • Drag-and-drop
  • Hotspot

Here are a few examples of alternatives:

  • Rather than a matching drag-and-drop interaction, consider using a matching drop-down interaction instead since it’s keyboard-accessible.
  • You could add a link that opens a layer with a text-based alternative for a freeform drag-and-drop interaction.
  • You might let learners choose a slider alternative for a hotspot interaction, since sliders respond to the arrow keys on your keyboard.

We also recommend that you provide on-screen instructions when learners need to type information into a text-entry field so they know what’s expected of them.
