Storyline 360 - keyboard accessibility - tabbing to select the continue button on answer layers
I have 12 questions included in a Storyline 360 course that are either sequence drop down, multi choice or single answer that all act in the same way, no matter what changes I make for keyboard navigation in the focus order. I wanted to check if this is a known issue, bug, something I'm not doing correctly and if there are any options for me to resolve this and make it more accessible by keyboard navigation only. All the other accessibility components work ok and the course includes a voiceover throughout so the focus order of text paragraphs to enable a screen reader to pick them up is not needed. The focus order only includes the selectable answers, buttons, weblinks, and continue buttons on the answer layers for correct, incorrect and try again. Once any of the questions have been answered and the feedback layer pops up, the next keyboard tab goes to the resources, and it takes two more presses of the tab key to get to the continue button on any answer layer, no matter what order I put the two/three continue buttons in the focus order, or if I change the layer order. This isn't ideal for accessibility as I'd like the first tab to go straight to the continue button, rather than it taking three tabs to get there. I found another known bug with the menu states included in this forum, which require two tabs instead of one, even when removing the accessibility tick box so the visited or completed states don't show in the focus order. I'm wondering if this is a similar issue/bug. Does anyone know if this is an issue, bug or something I'm not doing correctly? Is there something else I can do to get the first tab to be on the continue button? Or would you suggest programming a different key to get past this issue, ideally without too much extra instructions for the user needing to be added in, for the workaround?Unlocking Videos and blocks after going through the Rise course once
Hello everyone, I’m wondering if there’s a way to configure Rise and/or Saba LMS so that once learners have completed a Rise course, any subsequent launches allow full access to all blocks, videos, and sections. Ideally, learners would be able to revisit specific content freely—whether to reread, rewatch, or review—without having to go through the entire course again. This is important for accessibility purposes. Has anyone implemented this successfully or found a workaround? I did some research and it is said it should be set on Saba LMS. Please advise Thanks in advance for your help!Tab function in 360° image
There was a known bug with 360° images where the tab function would freeze and you couldn't get out of the image. I don't know if this is resolved, yet, but I tried to make a guided tour of the image to support the tabbing function. I cannot get it to work on the guided tour. What is the trick to tabbing through the hotspots and markers?custom buttons in Storyline not working with ipad trackpad
Hi, has anyone come across similar issues? Storyline content using player frame for generic navigation (next/back), but has some custom buttons on screen for certain functions. When viewing on an ipad and using a trackpad on a detachable keyboard the buttons in the player work OK, but the custom buttons on screen aren't being recognised. Almost like the player takes the focus? They can be selected by tapping on the screen, just not the keyboard. Anyone found a solution or is it a bug?
