RISE - accessibility features
Hi Elizabeth,
Rise doesn't currently fully support screen readers, so the Storyline blocks likely won't work either. There's some more information about accessibility here.
If there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
You could push for full accessibility... 😊
I'll do what I can, Beth! :) Accessibility is definitely a priority for us.
Hi Beth, I think it is important to point out that even if an authoring tool is classified as accessible, poor design can lead to a eLearning module that does not meet WCAG standards or result in an accessible course simply because the authoring tool was capable of doing so. Much like MS Word, you can create a document that is accessible, or one that is not simply because you don't know how. Perhaps Articulate can put together some short courses on how to use Storyline to create an accessible course. Or maybe run a series of challenges in the theme?
I absolutely agree. It is possible to make an inaccessible document even when the tool is accessible. However, if the tool is inaccessible, there's not much you can do. I would LOVE Articulate to do a workshop on accessibility and have suggested it more than once.
