Rise 360 Accessibility Updates
We are excited to share our Rise 360 Accessibility Collection!
In this collection, you'll find the Rise 360 Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT®) used to describe how Rise 360 conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria.
You'll also find updates on our Accessibility Journey that includes details on screen reader support!
Finally, we updated our roadmap to include Rise 360 features we’re continuing to develop to better support WCAG.
Please share your questions and experiences building accessible courses for all in the comments below!

Hi there - I am really excited to hear about the new accessibility features. Can someone please let me know if we need to "re-SCORM" our existing courses to benefit from them? It's unclear what we need to "do" next with existing courses. Thanks!
Hi there, Melanie!
We recently made some minor text updates to the Rise 360 Accessibility Conformance Report so that it matches what you see on the Rise 360 Roadmap.
When we make accessibility updates in Rise, we'll be sure to log those on the Rise 360 Version History page so you don't have to re-read the entire conformance report.

Hi Maria,
Here is a video that could help on when to choose to use Rise or Storyline:

Also, for small size software to tool (ex - timesheet) training (30 mins max) - is Rise 360 a better approach or Storyline 360 (no videos required) ? does anyone have any samples?

In Rise the Start course – button - for the screen reader they use the start course button action seems to be empty, means there should be an action behind it, so that the screen reader can read it. Can you check this and fix ASAP.
HI Siba, I see you've also posted your own thread here, so we can continue there.

Hi! Please could you advise me on the following? we have a number of users who rely on clip board readers and read aloud functions to navigate content. In my latest rise course I have used a carousel of images with alt text/captions, but the alt text is not read out by the read aloud function in Edge - any idea why, or how I can fix it?
Hi Rebecca! Thanks for your question! Do you know which screen reader was used when your users noticed this problem? These screen readers are supported for Rise 360:
Windows
NVDA (latest version)
JAWS (latest version)
Mac
Mobile
VoiceOver in Apple iOS
VoiceOver in Apple iPadOS
TalkBack (latest version) for Android OS

Hi! It is the built in Edge 'read aloud' function, which is standard for our company.
