Screen Reader Not Reading Button States
Hey everyone, I noticed that after the last couple of Storyline 360 updates, my screen reader (JAWS and NVDA) no longer reads the alt text for button states. For example, I added "visited" for the alt text under the button's Visited state. This used to work fine but now the screen reader does not read the "visited" alt text and just reads the alt text for the normal state. My screen readers are up-to-date. Has anyone else experienced this?Accessibility (Screen Reader) in Quiz Lesson: Rise
Hi, I have searched for this particular topic but not really finding any solution. Our client has flagged an issue where the screen reader is announcing the correct answer twice. They also say when using either the arrow down or tab key it skips over the next button. (This lesson is drawing random 3 questions (of 10) from a question bank.) The client is using JAWS. I have tested on NVDA and notice the same (screen reader is announcing the correct answer twice) however I am able to navigate to the next button. Is there any changes in the settings in Screen Reader Announcement that will fix this? We have tried with no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.New Matching lay-out
Last week we received the updated lay-out of the matching knowledge check. The moment I discovered it was a bit unlucky (during a presentation, got me a bit confused) but today I had some time to look into it. The changelog as following on the articulate website: Enhanced: Matching knowledge check blocks have been upgraded with intuitive navigation, full keyboard support, and comprehensive screen reader integration. Now, I think it's great that Articulate is improving it's software's accessibility, however, I don't see anything intuitive about the new design. A lot of new things have been added which for me only make the assignment more confusing. On the left side the hamburger icon and number suggest some sort of clickability, which is not there. The drop downs on the right give the assignment a new layer of intractability which only wouldn't want for the student. Overall the lay-out is a lot less clean and drains focus away from the content towards the design. Maybe a simple solution would be to add a slider which let's us choose between this lay-out and the previous one (or this one without the rings and bells). That's just my opinion, I was wondering what other think of the new lay-out!Seeking Right-to-Left (RTL) Support in Rise 360 for Arabic Training Courses
Hello Articulate Community, I hope you're all doing well! I am relatively new to Rise 360 and truly impressed with its intuitive design and functionality. It has great potential to support our organization’s training needs. However, I’ve encountered a challenge that I hope the community can assist me with. We develop training programs predominantly in Arabic, which is a right-to-left (RTL) language. Unfortunately, I’ve learned that Rise 360 does not currently support RTL formatting out of the box. While the platform works wonderfully for left-to-right (LTR) languages, the lack of RTL support presents a significant limitation for designing Arabic courses that align with our organizational requirements. I’ve heard there are workarounds involving modifications to the CSS and index.html files in the published output, but I’m unsure where to begin. Specifically, I’d like to know: Has anyone successfully implemented RTL formatting in Rise 360 courses? What are the key steps or best practices for modifying CSS and index.html files to achieve a seamless RTL experience? Are there any potential challenges to watch out for when implementing this workaround? Our training programs are intended for large-scale educational organizations, so ensuring that the content is fully aligned to Arabic (RTL) standards is essential. If anyone has managed to create a polished RTL course using Rise 360, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience, tips, or even examples! Thank you so much for taking the time to help. I look forward to learning from the community’s insights and expertise.Translation / localization
Hi, We currently have our course in English only, but more and more we get requests to translate the content. The content is mostly text and speech (generated with the text to speech feature). I know about the feature on how to export, translate and import again, but now with AI and LLM and translation tools like DeepL is there a smarter and easier way to do it than duplicating slides and courses in different languages? Anyone with ideas, experience or suggestions? I am happy to hear what you think.Rise: Matching Knowledge Check Block update from Jan 7, 2025
This is regarding the update now including numbered dropdowns to match the answers. My team often uses them for process steps so the duplication of numbers is not a good experience. We have existing content that will now lose the old aesthetic if we make any updates and republish. Please tell me there are plans to offer turning off the numbered feature. At a minimum, we should be able to choose if it's numeric or alpha, but the fields are locked.Sorting Block: can the ADA feature be disabled?
I am having trouble making the sorting activity make sense when using numbers that need to be sorted. It's not clear at all what all the numbers mean. I am using a graphic image and numbered the points on the image that the user needs to match with the correct label. See image below. Would you have any idea what to do with the numbers and how to match them up? What the dropdown means? Is there any way to turn off the ADA feature for this block? Even if I replaced the numbers in the image with letters the numbers are very confusing.Keyboard Only Drag & Drop
Hi All, Long time listener, first time caller. I hope I'm doing this right! I have a few unique projects I have been working on in my spare time that I hope to share. But first, I'd like to share my attempt at an accessible drag & drop interaction. Try it out: Accessible Drag & Drop This project allows users to use key presses to select, drop, submit or reset the activity. It will also work with mouse clicks. I noticed when using a question slide/freeform slide, hover states cannot submit an answer, so that's why I added the reset trigger to this activity. I'd be happy to get some feedback on this piece. Thank you!
