Rise Accessibility Journal Q1 Update!
Hey everyone! It's been a bit but we've got a shiny new Accessibility Journal update for January-March of this year! Don't worry, I'm planning on doing a retroactive entry that covers November/December of last year. That should be out soon as well.

In Case You Missed It (ICYMI): Accessibility Updates in Q4 2024
Welcome to 2025! Since my last update, this accessibility group has grown by 61 members, bringing its total to 403 members. The first ICYMI edition was published on October 23, 2024, and established a foundation, but we can keep it short and sweet from now on. Product Updates: Rise 360 New: Immerse all learners in customizable interactive experiences with accessible scenario blocks that offer alternative text, screen reader support, and a visible focus indicator. New: Select the source course language when exporting your training for translation. Enhanced: Select the text of a hyperlink to apply formatting, including changing the color of the text. Enhanced: Line height and letter spacing are now available in the text formatting toolbar. Storyline 360 Enhanced: Expand your reach with a new AI text-to-speech model that supports Hungarian, Norwegian, and Vietnamese in addition to the 29 other languages already supported. Enhanced: You can now add text-to-speech narration and sound effects to markers. Fixed: Text alignment wasn't preserved in existing projects. Upcoming accessibility features: We've released Rise Accessible Drag-and-Drop Questions (Q1 2025, but released before posting this) and added Rise Math Equations. Current accessibility items on our feature roadmap include: Storyline Accessibility Checker Storyline Math Equations Rise Math Equations Updates in articles, documentation, resource center, or training: Refreshed: Storyline 360: Working with Hyperlinks New blog: What Is Section 508?

Sorting Activity not accessible
FAO Articulate I think some of the information in this section is misleading: https://access.articulate.com/support/article/Rise-360-Choosing-Accessible-Components-to-Create-Online-Learning#inaccessible Currently Inaccessible This block is currently not in conformance with WCAG guidelines. We recommend not using it when creating accessible content. In case you do use it, we've provided a partial workaround. Interactive: Sorting activity No accessible instructions or status messages If using: Use a text block to provide instructions. I would highly recommend that this is marked as inaccessible without any possible workarounds. I have come across some clients using the interaction and attempting to use this workaround. In my opinion, there is not workaround. Screen reader users not receiving any kind of feedback when items are sorted cannot be addressed with instructions in a text block. It doesn't matter how many instructions are placed in a text block, it's never going to provide screen reader users with the dynamic feedback that is required to provide meaning to the interaction. My recommendation: Currently Inaccessible This block is currently not in conformance with WCAG guidelines. We recommend not using it when creating accessible content. In case you do use it, we've provided a partial workaround. Interactive: Sorting activity No accessible instructions or status messages If using: Use a text block to provide instructions.
