Rise Hotspots

Hello everyone! I’m happy to share our Rise 360 Accessibility Collection, which includes the VPAT to describe how Rise 360 conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA criteria.

We also updated our roadmap to include Rise 360 features we’re continuing to develop to better support WCAG.

Let me know your questions and experiences building accessible courses for all!

Hi Claire,

Are they hotspots you've added to a Storyline course that you're using in Rise? Hotspots aren't accessible to screen readers in Storyline, so that'll carry over for Rise.  You could look at using a transparent shape in Storyline, as that would be accessible to a screen reader. 

I'm meant the labeled graphic  block in Rise. Are they accessible to screen readers and keyboard?

Hi Claire!

You can use a keyboard to navigate a Labeled Graphic in Rise:

• Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move from one closed marker to another.
• Press Enter or the spacebar to open a marker.
• Use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll through the contents of an open marker.
• Use the Left and Right arrows to move from one open marker to another.
• Press Esc to close a marker.

And we’re currently working on full screen-reader support, but it's not ready just yet. Stay tuned!

An idea for Labeled Graphic. Currently, if these have not been selected yet, they show 'zooming' edges. These disappear when the hotspot has been selected. However, when using this block on a white background image, the 'moving' edges can't be seen. See image attached.

Since we can choose what color we want the hotspots to be, wouldn't it be great if the 'moving edges' were the same colour as the hotspot, with opacity 40%? this way the hotspots that have not been selected yet can be distinguished.
Please direct me to a better entry for this comment. I left here since it's called 'Rise Hotspots'

Hi Sandra, 

Thanks for reaching out!

I’ll be happy to pass your thoughts on to our product team, but you can also feel free to detail them more through a feature request!

Have a great start to your day!
