Accessibility of various blocks
Hello - my Rise360 course needs to be fully accessible. Are there any block types (Drag and drops like Sorting or Matching?) that I should avoid or completely omit in order to achieve this? In other programs like H5P I needed to avoid certain block types, so I wanted to doublecheck.
Thanks!
Leah
Hi Leah,
Based entirely on what is stated on the Rise Roadmap https://articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-Feature-Roadmap#rise-360 these block types are not yet fully accessible:
- Drag-and-Drop Interactions
- Scenario Blocks
- Flashcards
Hi, Leah!
First, I love to hear that you're authoring courses with accessibility in mind! As you consider which block types to use, we recommend avoiding sorting activities, flashcards, and matching drag-and-drop questions. Those block types don't work well with screen readers and/or keyboard navigation right now. Also, Scenario blocks don’t currently support alt text.
Aside from that, all of the other block types can be accessed using a screen reader and keyboard navigation. Be sure to check out these articles for more information on designing an accessible course in Rise 360!
