Re: Articulate Storyline SCORM export WCAG 2.4.3 failure

It's a couple of years since I worked on Articulate Storyline, but there were indeed issues with the focus order of the menu. The developer specialised in Storyline, so we took his word when he said he couldn't even see the menu code, let alone fix it. There were other issues (particularly reflow, as I recall) but he said he could only fix the e-learning module, not the player it's enclosed in.

BTW, this is nothing to do with SCORM, which is just a JavaScript wrapper that passes information between an e-learning module and its host LMS, but doesn't have a user interface.

Subject: [WebAIM] Articulate Storyline SCORM export WCAG 2.4.3 failure

Hi,

I've been evaluating SCORM content created with Articulate Storyline and have found that the SCORM content fails hard for 2.4.3 Focus Order. The auto-generated menu is visually on the left and appears to be the first tabbable item, but it's really the last or almost the last tabbable item on the page due to its position in the DOM. Divs with IDs of sidebar, topbar, and app-top come toward the end of the DOM, which is the exact opposite of what it should be. Has anyone else experienced this and have a fix? I'm no Articulate expert so I could be missing a setting.

Thanks,
Mike
