SL Try Me interaction in Rise course - issue with tabbing in preview

Mar 03, 2021

Hi,

I have a SL Try me interaction (SL block) in my Rise course. The user is required to enter text or select items in fields and Tab between the fields. This was working fine when previewing in SL, but since bringing into Rise and previewing, the tabbing is working correctly. It seems to tab around the screen/window, not within the interaction. Any help/advice is appreciated.

Thanks

I tabbed from the Date field and it took me to the block under the this SL block interaction. Using shift tab brought me back to the Hours field which is where I want to be. Obviously we can't have the learner having to tab then shift tab to get to the fields they need to, too confusing and doesn't reflect real life.

Any advice from Articulate staff on how to get round this please?

Hi Wendy! Here's how tabbing should work with Storyline blocks in Rise 360:

  • Use Tab and Shift+Tab to navigate to the Storyline block from anywhere else in the Rise 360 lesson.
  • Use Tab and Shift+Tab to navigate within the Storyline block. A yellow box will appear around the selected object as you move through the content.
  • While inside the Storyline block, press Enter or the spacebar to activate buttons and links, select answer choices, and interact with media.

If you suspect something isn't working quite right, we'd be happy to test your course from our side. Simply send us the course Share link by opening a case here, and we'll take a look.

Thanks Alyssa. Because this 'try me' is a form for the learner to complete, we want it to reflect what they'll do in the workplace. Using shift tab and other keys through it won't reflect real life. I've kept the videos for 'show me', and have decided to use other interactions rather than the 'try me' scenario.
