Rise 360 - Screen Reader testing - Accessibility
Hello, we recently developed a course in Rise 360 and had it tested by a screen reader user. They found a number of accessibility issues so we are sharing them here so that Articulate is aware.

Hello Hugh and Michelle,
I'm happy to let you know we released a new update for Rise 360. This update lets you turn off image zooming on Timeline and Labeled Graphic blocks. We'll let you know if this feature is also applied to other blocks, including Knowledge Checks. There's nothing to install for web apps. New features and fixes are immediately available, though you might need to export your Rise 360 course again.
Let me know if you have any questions about this update or the new enhancement!
Hi Marvie (or another Articulate Rise engineer):
Re: the reply above:
Images are automatically formatted by Rise to include a Zoom feature and the screen reader reads info about the Zoom option after every image.
- This is expected. All meaningful, visible elements must be accessible to screen readers. As an author, you can turn off the image zoom if it's not necessary for your use case.
I'm working on a Rise course now and find that I'm unable to disable the Zoom function in a Knowledge Check image. When I select Format in the Knowledge Check's editing pane, the Enable zoom on image click checkbox is not visible as it is in other blocks with images. Is there another way to disable the image zoom for image blocks?
Thanks ahead. :)
Hello Michelle,
Happy to help!
There isn't a way to disable the zoom option for images in knowledge checks, but I can confirm that this is something we're tracking as a feature request. I went ahead and added your voice to the report so we can notify you here as soon as this feature gets added to our product roadmap!
