WCAG Player and quiz labels

Hello Pola, and welcome to E-Learning Heroes. 😊

Thanks for reaching out and sharing what you are working on.

1. You can certainly change certain Text Labels. The screen reader specific ones are numbered currently as 152-160, precisely number 155 for Sidebar Toggle:
   Storyline 360: Customizing the Text Labels
2. Would you be able to share a sample quiz slide where you are asking about WCAG and what criterion compliance they are referring to?

Leslie, thank you for your answer. 
1. I meant specifically labels topbar and sidebar which are not present on the Player Text Labels list. It might be a problem for non-English users and that's why I asked if there is any way to change their labels names.  

2. It concerns all forms of questions: multiple choice, multiple response etc. They are not grouped into <fieldset> element which is common in web design and people with disabilities are familiar with this form of quizzes.

Hi Pola,

Do you know what version of Storyline you're using? 

• You can check by going to Help > About Articulate Storyline

We are currently on Build 3.56.26219.0 of Storyline 360. You can read all of the details here.

I'd be happy to take a look at your .story project file to test with a screen reader to understand where you are hearing these labels. 

Are you navigating your question slides with the arrow keys?

Storyline 360: How to Navigate Multiple Choice Questions with a Screen Reader or Keyboard

Hi Leslie,

I don't see any comments in the release notes referring to fixing the fieldset issues. Has this been resolved in one of the releases because we seem to still be experiencing issues. To clarify, the multiple choice options are navigable with an arrow key, however, the options and question are not associated using a fieldset making it confusing for a screenreader user to navigate the page.

Hi Nathan!

I apologize for the issues you are encountering with accessible navigation in multiple-choice questions.

Am I understanding correctly that you have trouble navigating back to the question title once you are already in the answer? As in the screen reader will only announce the question once, and you may need it to be read a second (or third) time?

If that's the issue you are experiencing, would you mind sharing a screen recording so we can investigate what you are experiencing and try to replicate the behavior on our end?

If that's not the issue you are experiencing, please feel free to clarify so we can help you work through this issue! 

For my part, the request is to meet the WCAG requirement: 

Success Criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A): Information, structure, and relationships conveyed through presentation can be programmatically determined or are available in text.

Thank you for sharing what you are doing within your content and courses, Jeff!

I'm sure the community will appreciate these links you have provided.

Have a great weekend!

Was there any resolution to this issue? Is there a work around to have a screen reader annouce a label for an entire group of form controls?

I also would like to be able to group a set of combo boxes together and have a screen reader, read aloud the instructions /label when tabbing to the first combo box. If I had control over the HTML I would do this myself with a field set, or just with role=group and aria-labeledby.
