Rise Storyline Blocks & Screen Readers
Hi there, I saw this conversation still open so figured I could join here vs creating new. I have worked with Steven on an issue with lightboxes a while back and it ended up being a bug. But I still really struggle (not knowing how screen readers fully work) on when to use tab vs spacebar vs arrow up or arrow down within RISE to even get the course started and then move through the course particularly getting to a storyline block in and out of it. I am adding one of my review links for a module in RISE and was wondering is anyone willing to help me guide through it with NVDA, I feel like I have done everything I can with regard to focus order, alt text, tags for images (and left blank for decorative), captions, transcripts, but all the extra audio that the screen reader reads before the actual content in the course is so confusing for me. Wonder if Articulate would run a few sessions teaching folks how to use NVDA/JAWS commands to go through a RISE and Storyline course, I think many of us would watch. Anyway attaching a link to one of my RISE courses that I think is accessible in case someone is able to help me walk through it. https://360.articulate.com/review/content/f29bcc6a-def4-49ac-beab-3f319f08030e/review
Hi Teresa, I also meant to add into my last post that if you can afford it, its worth engaging with an organisation that will have people who will navigate the course with a screen reader and provide feedback. It was the only way I could accurately learn from my mistakes and eventually have a course that was up to WCAG standard at least as much as RISE have developed their tool sets for. Happy to discuss further. Take Care
