Accessibility: Text Contrast of Menus in Rise

I was experimenting with the Rise 30 day trial, and I was wondering if there are options in Rise to make the left-hand menus and the "Next Lesson" button higher contrast to meet accessibility standards?

My organization is thinking of using Rise to create a patient education course, so it would need to meet text contrast accessibility guidelines.

Thank you,
Jerusha

    Hi Justin! 

    Any ETA on the accessibility features for RISE? 

    We have a client that needs all of their content to be W3C compliant, and I'm afraid we're going to have to drop Rise if it's not any time soon. :/

    Thanks!

    Ok... same question... Any news on Rise accessibility features? We have a new course to create specifically for phone access and this might be a perfect fit.

  • Hi Bob,

    Thanks for checking in. As Brian mentioned in the latter part of that discussion we're looking at some of these accessibility features beginning to ship in May - so soon! 

    We'll keep folks posted as those are pushed out!

    Thanks, I'll keep an eye out. Think I'll try converting a program and play with Rise a bit to see how it works.

  • Hey, has there been any update on using Rise modules with High contrast. I have a client who requires features such as video playbar, hamburger menu and flipcard arrows to be a higher contrast.

    Thanks

      Hi there, Louise. No updates on higher contrast right now. Currently, the hamburger menu, video player, and flipcard arrows conform to WCAG 2.1 AA standards, and we're continuing to prioritize accessibility throughout future development.
