Hi Discussion Groups and Articulate Community,
Short and to the point. Do the team at Articulate have an Accessibility design guide?
For Context - My employer has created a RISE Accessibility guide which discounts a huge amount of functionality to me. The nature is generally to do with "Screen Readers" As an example - I am not allowed to use the following:
- Tabs
- Labelled Graphics
- Scenarios
- Sorting Activity
- Flashcard Grid or Stack
- Process
- Tables
- Not best practice to use Checkboxes
- most of the Knowledge Checks
- Two versions of the Continue button
I would love to hear thoughts on this, as well as someone from Articulate's response.

Hello, Gareth!
First, I love to hear that you're authoring courses with accessibility in mind! As you consider which block types to use, we recommend avoiding sorting activities and matching drag-and-drop questions. Those block types don't work well with screen readers or keyboard navigation right now.
Aside from that, all of the other block types can be accessed using a screen reader and keyboard navigation. Be sure to check out these articles for more information on designing an accessible course in Rise 360!
