Hi Neil! If you'd like to share your slide or a portion of your course so we can take a look, that would be great!

Here's how the keyboard navigation works using a screen reader:
Learners use their screen reader navigation keys (e.g., Down and Up arrows) to move through all text and interactive objects on the slide, listening to each item along the way.
Use Tab and Shift+Tab to jump from one interactive object to another, skipping text and images.
Press the spacebar or the Enter key to activate an interactive object, such as a button or hotspot.
