I created a curved motion path for an icon in slide one. In slide two, I want that curved motion path to be a straight-line motion path, starting where the curved motion path ended in the previous slide. How do I accomplish this?Solved103Views0likes12CommentsInheritance of alt text by states in Storyline
Hi, I am not sure if I am missing something, but it seems that alt text is not inherited by the states of items in Storyline. For example, if I create a radio button, its alt text is by default the name of the button type e.g. Radio button 3. If I want to make this radio button accessible by adding alt text, it seems like the only option is to edit the alt text for every state. I've tried doing it for just the normal and selected states, but that did not seem to work. NVDA still reads the button as "radio button 3" unless either all five states have the alt text or I delete the hover, down and disabled states. I have a project with 45 radio buttons in a matrix and having to edit the alt text for all five states means 225 editing steps............... It seems to me that it would be much better for all states to inherit alt text from their parent normal state whenever the normal state text is updated - or at least for there to be a button in the alt text dialogue to propagate alt text to child states. I get that you can create an object and edit its alt text, create states for it and those states do inherit alt text, but that doesn't help with edits of the alt text or when you create an object that comes with ready made states.

I've created a keyboard accessible drag-and-drop exercise in Storyline using these instructions which has worked great for both users who click & drag with a mouse and users who select with a keyboard. My challenge is when I try to add animation so incorrect responses are returned to their original position while correct responses remain in the drop field. I used these instructions to make that happen. And it works but only for users who click & drag with a mouse. Any ideas on how I could return incorrect drag-and-drop answers so it works for those using a keyboard as well?18Views0likes1CommentArticulate Rise - change navigation arrows?
Hello All, I have some older/less technologically adept staff in our organization who get confused by the navigation UI in Articulate Rise. For example, when you start a microlearning module, you navigate from the first page by pressing/clicking the down arrow on the screen. However, some of my staff took that to be a visual indicator arrow, and were looking for/pressing any buttons below the actual area of the Rise learning window. I take this as an accessibility challenge that I can help accommodate to, rather than a user error. My ideal solution would be to be able to replace the arrow entirely (ex with a different button or shape), make it more of a visible button via emphasis lines, high-contrast background circle, or even customized text next to the arrow ("press the arrow to continue"). My intermediate solution is going to be to create modified backgrounds with embedded instructions, written instructions in the course page itself (less ideal given I'd be essentially replacing the title page to do so), or some kind of "how to navigate e-learnings" pdf as a precursor resource to any course. A way to modify and customize the slide-to-slide navigation would be best, though I'd love to hear how others have addressed this issue. Thanks!32Views0likes1CommentAccessibility for users with visual disabilities
Hi everyone, unfortunately I’m having a problem with the accessibility of a course created using Storyline 360. An image – which is important for the course because the user has to click on it to register their presence – is unfortunately not being ‘announced’ by the screen reader. The image can be reached using the Tab key; it is accessible and has alternative text, but the screen reader (JAWS) does not announce its presence ‘out loud’. What other settings do I need to change? What am I doing wrong? I’ve also tried replacing it with a button, but its appearance on the monitor is still not announced vocally. Thank you very much.

Hi there Just wondering if there is a way now (or will be...) in SL360 settings to have the build tool adjustable to a dark grey background and tool bars like in the MS Office suite and Adobe CC programs. I jump from those with a nice dark grey to Storyline 360 and it's bright white window is a bit of a jolt on the eyes... Cheers Simon5.5KViews22likes181CommentsMaking Screenshots Accessible in Rise 360
How can screenshots be accessible in Rise 360, particularly when they contain text that learners need to read or reference? For example, in a training where learners need to see a form and understand what information goes where, how can that content be accessible to screen readers while still providing the visual reference? Are there any best practices or recommended approaches for handling this in Rise? Thank you in advance!41Views0likes1Comment
