At Articulate, we want to help you provide an amazing learning experience to all your learners. That’s why we’ve been working hard behind the scenes on some enhancements to the modern and classic players in Storyline 3 that will make your courses significantly more accessible. Here’s what’s changed:

  • View Courses on a Variety of Screen Readers: Now learners have more options for viewing courses on their desktop, tablet, and mobile devices using a screen reader. In addition to JAWS*, they can now use NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
  • Navigate More Easily: We’ve made it easier for screen readers to understand the structure of Storyline 360 courses and improved keyboard navigation so learners can take advantage of many of the standard screen reader navigation features. 

These improvements will make exploring e-learning content easier than ever for learners using assistive technologies. Want to dig into the technical details of this new feature?
