Rise Canvas
Is Rise Canvas something owned by Articulate or was this created by you? It's a great tool but there might be security issues within my company that I'll need to check on. Also, has there been any accessibility considerations for these? If so, which meet accessibility standards vs those to avoid. Thanks!
Thanks for asking, happy to clarify.
Rise Canvas isn't an Articulate product. It's a tool I built myself for authoring custom interactive components. It's a standalone, browser-based app that runs entirely client-side, it doesn't integrate with Articulate's platform or send any data anywhere. What it produces is self-contained HTML/CSS/JavaScript; nothing connects back to an external service at runtime, so from a security standpoint each component is just static front-end code with no external calls or data collection. On accessibility, yes, it's been a consideration throughout. The components use semantic markup, keyboard-focus indicators, ARIA roles and labels, live regions so screen readers announce things like quiz feedback, and screen-reader-only text where needed. I'd be straight with you though, they've been built with accessibility in mind rather than put through a formal WCAG audit, so I wouldn't want to claim certified compliance. You can get further detail by clicking the accessibility tab in the tool.
Happy to answer any further questions...If any of this concerns you then don't use the tool...
Thank you for the info. You must have a brilliant mind to create such a great tool. I design for a financial institution that is highly regulated so these are the types of questions they ask if I want to bring a tool to them for approval. Appreciate the info and I hope to be able to use the tool without concern.
If you need any additional technical information just shout out 🙂
