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!

  • 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!
