Issue with Rise 360 Accessible Assessments

I’m building basic Rise modules as an alternate option for my company's corporate compliance modules, aiming for AA accessibility (or better).

My tester is advising the modules are failing accessibility at two points in the assessment. From what I can see there’s no options for me to fix (no configurable settings for these issues), and everything I can find online shows that they should be fully accessible.

Issue 1 – Results Page: The quiz result page is not accessible by Screen Reader. Screen Reader is not announcing the result scores, whether they have passed the assessment or failed.

Issue 2 - Questions: In the radio group, the aria-labelledby="q-cm1h442ud016u3j758nhkkcac" is marked incorrectly with the radio button. Because of which, when user lands on radio button using Tab or keyboard keys, Screen Reader reads the case study in one go and then reads the radio button question. This behaviour is quite frustrating to user.

Can anyone shed light on what I can do to resolve?

    Hi KentHolloway can you let me know which screen reader the Rise course was being tested with. I perform a lot of testing of Rise courses using the JAWS screen reader, and haven't found an issue with the results page. I've recorded my experience (with JAWS and NVDA), answering a couple of quiz questions and then arriving at the results page.

    I can see how #2 could be seen as frustrating during testing, but I'm not sure it breaks accessibility per-se, as it does provide context for the individual options when accessing them and is easily skipped over if the user does not require the information.

    There is actually a significant benefit to this design for screen reader users. For example, during a lengthy quiz, I might get frustrated with having to navigate past the repeated content, and wish to jump straight into the question. I can do this in JAWS by selecting my "f" key. This will take me directly to the first form element on the page, i.e the first question response option. Since the group has been labelled by the question, when I arrive at that option, the question is read to me prior to the first option label.

     You can see how this would allow much quicker navigation through a large quiz for assistive tech users.
