There are several nice online tools that will assess accessibility issues. It would be nice if there was an option or a mode for Rise that would pass those tests. Our primary considerations in this agency are good contrasting colors, voice assisted navigation, screen reader compatibility, and keyboard navigation.
The state (my employer) is enacting new policies that require all new training to meet these accessibility standards. Since Rise does not meet the standards, I am violating policy when I use it. I find Rise a much better option for rapid development on small projects, but it I will have to go back to using Storyline until accessibility standards can be met with Rise.
It would be nice if Rise provided the developer with some control over the color pallet, rather than just letting us choose one accent color. Even if we just had a few canned templates to pick from. It would also be nice if the end user had an option for selecting high contrast mode so that they could adapt the screen for their vision.
