Accessibility and Marker Animations

Does anyone know whether either the marker pulse or marker swirl would be considered a risk for individuals with seizure disorders? If so, has anyone figured out a different way to draw attention to...

Hi Jeff! It sounds like you're using markers in Storyline 360, is that right?

Marker animation in Storyline 360 can't be paused, so you'll want to turn off animation for markers if you don't want to use it for all learners.

    Hi Alyssa,

    Please check out Jeff's last comment below. Could the VPAT (https://articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-360-Accessibility-Conformance-Report-VPAT) be updated to better reflect under what conditions Storyline courses are compliant?

    For example, the row for 2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide probably should have a remark/explanation that markers are compliant only if the Animate setting is None.

    There are a gazillion other little things like this that course authors need to do correctly in order to meet WCAG standards.

    Thanks for considering my suggestion.
