Accessibility of the Matching Drop-down Question Type in Storyline
Hello,
The documentation on Articulate's website states that the matching drop-down is an accessible question type in Storyline. However, if there is more than one choice / drop-down on a slide, ...
Hello Eric and Stu,
As a screen reader user, I'd like to point something out. While yes, screen readers allow a user to switch between browse and forms mode, that is not the way a screen reader user gets the label for a form element. That label should be programmatically set within the element. So, I do not know what Articulate means when it refers to these as accessible, if that programmatic label is missing or not able to be specified. See WCAG 2.2 criteria 1.3.1; 2.4.3; 2.5.3; and 4.1.2.
When a screen reader user tabs to one of these combo boxes, they should hear what the choices within that form element represent. Typically, in HTML5 that is done through a <label> tag that has a for="" attribute that references the id="" of the form element.
I understand that Storyline doesn't allow content creators to have that level of access to the code that is ultimately generated, but there should be a way to specify this accessibility label.
