SL360: Focus Order is not showing layers, only the base layer. Is that normal?

Hi Laura!

Thanks for reaching out and sharing all of your concerns about creating an accessible project.

I'd recommend creating a single project that is accessible for all vs. creating a separate project that will also need to be maintained.

Let's dive into each of your concerns:

• Drag and drop interaction
  • These interactions are not keyboard accessible, and we recommend providing keyboard-accessible alternatives, such as dials or sliders.
  • Here is our Articulate Storyline 360 Accessibility Conformance Report.
• Click to reveal
  • Interactive objects are correctly identified to assistive technologies and function as expected.
• Focus Order
  • You mention tabbing through in preview mode and only seeing the top layer. Does this mean that you are unable to open all of your layers?
  • How do your layers open?
  • If the objects are not interactive, you will not see a focus highlight, and screen reader users do not tab through. Check out this article to understand what to expect:
    • Storyline 360: Slide Content Is More Accessible
  • All of the layer content should be included in your focus order.
    • Have you customized your focus order, or did you create a custom order
    • Storyline 360: Customizing the Focus Order of Slide Objects
• Do I need to add triggers for right and left arrows to move from page to page? I have regular navigation turned on for clicks and swipes.
  • It sounds like you've already had the trigger built, so the user should be able to tab to the button and hit enter for the click.
