Great template! I am having one issue--when trying to navigate the questions by keyboard, I am not able to cycle through the three answer choices. I've checked the focus order; I'm wondering if there is something more that needs to be done because it is a 'pick one' freeform question?

Update: I removed the 'freeform' from every slide, and this fixed the issue. I added a slide toward the end that puts the score variable into a numerical entry which is then reported to LMS.
I would still love to know how to make free-form questions keyboard accessible, as this is essential for my audience.

- SarahHodge2 years agoFormer StaffHey Adam! I'm sorry it's not working as it should. But thanks for sharing what you did! Here's an article that explains how to use a screen reader or keyboard navigation with multiple choice questions and multiple response questions: https://articulate.com/support/article/Storyline-Navigate-Multiple-Choice-Questions-with-a-Screen-Reader-or-Keyboard
You should be able to use the down arrow to navigate the slide and then use the space bar to select the different choices. But for my download, it's not quite working as it should. Some of the triggers in my file might be interferring with the tab order. Hmmm...I will look into this and get back to you (hopefully by next week) with a solution. 🤞 - GraceThomas-7f012 months agoCommunity MemberHey Adam! I was just wondering—would you be willing to share your fix for this in a little more detail? I'm fairly new to Articulate 360 (only a little over a semester under my belt!) and I'm not sure I can replicate your fix with only the information from your comment. Like you, it's essential that I make this keyboard accessible for my audience. I'd really appreciate any help you (or anyone else!) could give!
This template is really awesome, so I'm really hoping to be able to use it! Sarah, you definitely hit it out of the park with this one. :)
