Accessibility Testing for Rise courses

Hello! Thanks for doing the work of testing your content for accessibility.

When using a screen reader, it's best to use keyboard navigation to get from one section to another. In addition to the keyboard navigation built into Rise 360, screen readers have their own keyboard shortcuts. NVDA uses these keyboard shortcuts to focus the reader on different elements on the page.

I tested a sample course in Review 360, and using the tab key, I was able to navigate to the clickable sections. You'll notice that the tab key isn't focusing the screen reader on non-clickable text elements, and so you're missing some important context.

This is where using the screen reader shortcuts is necessary. For NVDA, you can use the up and down arrows to move from each level of text. It should call out headings and body text, reading body text in smaller chunks. If it stops reading in the middle of a paragraph, press the down arrow again to continue.

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction with your testing!
