<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all –<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone out there give me information about the accessibility features of the authoring tool, Articulate 360?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been playing around with one of the apps, Storyline 360, and so far I like its features for adding interactivity to training modules. However, I’m concerned about the degree to which published content would be accessible.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I see that Storyline 360 has some accessibility features built in, such as the ability to add alt text for graphics, and also the ability to elect whether a graphic object is visible to accessibility tools. The latter seems like a great
feature, to keep screen readers from bothering about images that are purely decorative.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">However, particularly with some of Storyline’s “Interactive Objects” like buttons, sliders, and hotspots, I wonder how navigable these are for screen readers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have experience using the Articulate 360 suite, please share! I like this software’s features but I don’t want to publish with it unless it’s accessible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chris<o:p></o:p></p>
