Hi JanetCC!

Happy to share some insight on this!

The "Accessible" theme in Storyline 360 is specifically designed to support Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. Including features like screen reader support, keyboard navigation, and visible focus indicators. These enhancements make it easier for learners with disabilities to navigate and interact with course content.

Other Storyline themes support creating courses that adhere to WCAG as well, but they require authors to make certain design choices, such as using readable fonts and defining a meaningful focus order. The "Accessible" theme simply provides a more streamlined starting point for accessibility-focused authors.

For a deeper dive into designing an accessible course in Storyline 360, please refer to the following resources:

 

Please let me know if you have any more questions!
