Screen Reader not recognized "checks" for correct answers on quiz
Hi Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we just released another update for Storyline 360. In Build 3.104.35448.0, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the bugs we’ve fixed is:
- When in Review Mode, the automatically generated check marks were observed to not meet the requirements for WCAG 1.1.1
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you need additional help!
This has nothing to do with the feedback master or the accessibility (objects). When you program a quiz, you can add a "review button" at the end (with a pre-programmed trigger), so the student clicks on the "review button" and is shown the individual quiz slides marked as "correct" or "incorrect" In those slides (being reviewed) the (seeing) student is also shown a checkmark next to the correct answer. Screen readers do not recognize the check mark. So, a student using a screen reader may mark something wrong, and in the review process, they will know it was marked as incorrect, but they will not be able to hear the correct answer. That is the issue. The green checkmark is what isn't accessible. This violates WCAG 1.1.1 Non-text content, and it appears (according to one of my colleagues) that this has been a known issue since 2021 (disappointing).
