Link to an element on the same page (Rise)
+100 votes here for this, to much improve Accessibility & 508 Compliance:
I've read all your related articles. But in order to use those interactives which are important teaching tools,
We need to allow blind users to skip over, to their text-based alts,
so their screen-readers aren't sent haywire from encountering content that's so disorienting to them.
An easy way would be with html anchors that say "click here to jump to text-based alternative" so they can just bypass the inaccessible content.
Right now we have to use beacon images with alt-text that warns them what's ahead, and tells them to ignore all the inaccessible stuff they're about to hit, until they reach its text-based alts and can proceed as normal.
The Accessibility controls in Storyline 360 are excellent, and the same should be a core, first-priority feature of Rise 360 as well.
At very least, using page anchors to let us hop a 508 user past inaccessible features to their text alts,
but even better if possible would be to just let us remove blocks from the focus order entirely, as we've always been able to do in SL.
This would also be much quicker/easier for you all as developers, than having to make all your interactives WCAG 2.1, which may ultimately be impossible.
This would pretty much resolve that issue.
