Rise and Accessibility
I'm using Rise on a public university website, so accessibility is a requirement. I made a test course with most of the Rise blocks added so I could check which ones were readable by a screen reader. I used the free one from NVDA (https://www.nvaccess.org/download/). I was happy to find that most blocks worked great and the screenreader was able to read everything. There were a few exceptions though, which I've listed below.
- Matching knowledge check question: Text on right side was not read
- Sorting: Top card text could not be read
- Quote block C: text was not read
- Flashcard grid: alt text only read for images on the front of the first card.
There are also a number of images where you can't add alt text, including the background image for text on image and quote on image block.
I applaud Articulate for the accessibility features that have already been added. I hope that these last few screenreader issues can be fixed too.
Thanks for the list. I have issues with process interaction, flip cards, accordions
