Issue with using alt text in Rise 360
I've noticed two issues with using alt text in Rise 360.
1. When using the text on image block, the alt text does not appear even though it is entered for the image in either edit or preview mode....
Hi Kimberlee! Thanks for your questions.
- You are correct — the alt text does not appear on a Text on Image block in Rise 360. We have this logged as a bug, and I will send you an update if we release a fix for it.
- Alt text does not appear when hovering over slide objects in Storyline 360. That means you won't see the alt text when hovering, even if the slide is in a Storyline Block. I don't have details for how a screen reader will interact with Storyline Blocks in Rise just yet. Our ultimate goal is to meet accessibility guidelines, and we’re currently working on full screen reader support.
Please let me know if you have other questions on that!
We need this handled urgently as we ensure compliance at scale for higher ed now. Any updates?
Hi Roxanne. I'm sorry I don't have an update for you right now. We'll let you know here if this behavior changes!
