Hi Anne!
I'm happy to dive into each of your original questions.
- Is there documentation on how screen readers read layers?
You control the focus order for the base layer and slide layers.
Storyline 360: Customizing the Focus Order of Slide Objects - What is read after a layer is selected?
When a layer is opened, the content will be read as it's listed in the focus order.
Making Layers Accessible - What elements are considered interactive?
Triggers are certainly a good indication of interactivity. Check out this list from our Storyline 360 User Guide:
Storyline 360: Adding Interactive Objects
Arrow keys will allow learners to navigate all content, including interactive objects and text, while tabbing jumps to interactive objects only.
Storyline 360: Slide Content Is More Accessible - What is the best practice between layers and dialog layers?
Dialog layers are accessible by default, which is the biggest advantage. Otherwise, it's user preference. This may be what you're looking for:
