RISE - accessibility features
One year ago there was a discussion around accessibility - WCAG AA, WAI-ARIA Labels, Section 508, DDA, Equality Act and Screen Reader Supports.

Hi Paula,
While our ultimate goal is to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), we're not there yet. As we move closer towards that goal, we'll share updates in this discussion.
Hi Alyssa,
As has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, is there any chance of Articulate hosting a Rise Accessibility focused workshop/webinar to help your paying userbase understand best practices given the current state of Rise functionality? Which is to say, we understand that Rise is not 100% accessible at this moment (as an example, drag and drop will likely never be accessible), but how do we best use Rise as it stands today?
My impression is that if we (as developers) create content in Rise carefully we can actually create adequately accessible content, avoiding the use of certain features and making sure to use others properly. Now, that might not be perfectly true in the case of all screen-readers, etc., but it is likely close enough. One of the beautiful things about Rise is that, from a user perspective, all we have to do is re-open an asset and republish to once any future accessibility updates are released from Articulate. Tips like that would give us the confidence we need to continue considering Rise for development purposes.
Does Articulate have an accessibility/compliance specialist? Most of us have felt a bit like we're swimming in the dark for the past year or two. Thanks for considering.
Yes, please do this!
Our organization would be extremely interested in this as well!! We are currently at a standstill with Rise- and we don't know all of the ins and outs to make it as accessible as possible
Thanks for sharing your needs, Ephraim! Our immediate webinar schedule doesn't include an accessibility-focused session, but I'll share your idea with my team.
