Hello DouweHarder
It sounds like you may be asking about the difference between radio button questions and checkbox questions.
We have an article on multiple choice questions:
Storyline 360: How to Navigate Multiple Choice Questions with a Screen Reader or Keyboard
I'm happy to elaborate further on this standard.
- Radio buttons for questions like True/False, Multiple Choice, and Pick One include a button set that allows one selection within the group. So, screen reader users will arrow through these answer choices. (Note: Empty radio buttons occur on page load but will auto-select as you move through the buttons, or the space bar will select.) Check out the W3C recommendation for radio groups here.
- Checkboxes for questions like Multiple Response and Pick Many allow for multiple selections, so screen readers announce each checkbox individually with its state, making it focusable and tabbed individually. Check out the W3C recommendation for checkboxes here.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.
