Is Numeric question accessible or fall under the accessibility guidelines?

Mar 24, 2022

Hello Folks,

I'm working for Microsoft where accessibility is key when it comes to creating assessments in storyline. Just wanted to check if "Numeric questions or questions that makes the learner type in any kind text or numbers" falls under accessibility guidelines? If Yes, what types of Numeric questions can be added. 

Please leave your suggestions or suggestions.

Regards
Monika.

When using those types of interactions, it's a good idea to give learners instructions on what's expected of them through alt-text and meaningful labels. 

I wanted to add a couple of additional resources:

I hope this helps!
