Advice on 508 compliant game templates?
I am looking for a quick game in that can be used as an example of "practice makes perfect" but it must be 508 compliant. It could be a timed quiz, memory game, or other. I have found several templates that would work for the theme, but I don't know about compliance. The course is in Rise, so I hope to use a Stroyline block. Articulate and Heroes provide wonderful ideas, tips, and templates, but I am overwhelmed!
I would love to be pointed in possible directions and I bet others would benefit, too! Many thanks!
Hello,
Here are some pointers for finding 508 compliant game templates for your Rise course:
Articulate Rise Accessibility Resources:
Check Articulate's official resources on Rise accessibility: https://articulate.com/support/MaryKayInTouch/article/Rise-360-Our-Accessibility-Journey
This might include pre-built Storyline blocks or templates that are already 508 compliant.
Community Forums:
Search Articulate's E-Learning Heroes community for discussions about 508 compliant game templates: https://community.articulate.com/
Other Rise users might have shared resources or recommendations for accessible game templates.
Third-Party Marketplaces:
Explore marketplaces like iSpring Market (https://www.ispringsolutions.com/content-library) or the Articulate 360 Marketplace (https://360.articulate.com/) for 508-tagged game templates compatible with Rise (Storyline blocks).
Simple, Accessible Games:
Consider building a basic game yourself within Rise:
Matching pairs memory game with clear visuals and keyboard navigation.
A timed multiple-choice quiz with focus options and screen reader compatibility.
Remember, even if a template isn't explicitly labeled 508 compliant, you can often modify it to meet accessibility standards. Look for features like keyboard navigation, clear screen reader instructions, and proper color contrast.By exploring these resources and focusing on simple, accessible game mechanics, you can create an engaging and compliant "practice makes perfect" experience for your Rise course.
I hope the solution may help you.
Anything with a timer would be difficult to make truly accessible. It takes longer for people using assistive technology to go through a course than someone is doesn't have a disability.
