What is best practice for using narration in a Storyline training? I've heard some people narrate the entire course. I've heard some people say that's a no-no. I've heard some say that you need to develop a slide that will allow those who use screen readers to not read your narration since the screen reader does the reading for the learner. I've also heard narration isn't technically an accessibility feature. I've heard using narration intermittently can confuse the learner. I'm so confused, I don't know what to do anymore and what to advise my agency as a best practice.
Can anyone please advise how to best address this?

Hi Barb,

I appreciate the post Karl! I've seen much of the same. Seems as if there is no "best practice" and it depends on the case and learner needs.
So do most people add it and then give the learner the option to use it?
Does it confuse a learner if it's only in a few slides explaining something in more depth, rather than on all the slides?
