Customer wants alt tag on logo on title page - possible?

Is it possible to add an alt tag to the logo on the title page of a Rise course?

  • Hi Sue, 

    Thanks for letting us know your customer needs an alt tag option on the logo image. I'll be sure our team sees this request!

      Can I bump this request? We have the same question, with a customer having identified an alt tag for the course logo as a "must-have" fix. Unfortunately, we're having to tell them we can't meet their needs.

        Yes, of course. E-Learning Hero's will tell you that if you use the Modern
        Player the alt text will work. At my job we can't use the Modern player so
        I had to delete the logo to resolve the problem. Merry Christmas!

    Is this still the case after Rise 360 has been updated to address section 508 accessibility guidelines? 

  • Hi Jeremy, there still is no option to add alt text to the course logo. If you want to be updated on all the accessibility features we've added for Rise, you can check out this article

      Hi Ameila! Thanks for following up on this!  Starting with the July 2021 update, in Storyline 360 you can add alt text to your logo in the modern player so it's accessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies. This carries over into SL Blocks inserted into Rise 360.

      If the visibility box is checked but there isn’t any alt text, screen readers will read the file name of the logo.

      If you’d prefer to hide the logo from screen readers altogether, uncheck the visibility box.

      Please note when you use the modern player, your logo won’t display on smartphones. Nor will the logo show when you disable all the sidebar tabs.

      After you've added in the logo and alt text, you can publish for Review 360 and insert the course as an SL block in Rise 360.

        Hi, thanks for the response. I am currently using the Classic player instead of the modern. Will that make a difference?
