Hello!
Drag and Drop is great and all, but it presents accessibility issues. This was highlighted to me when the Articulate team shared my Star Wars demo, FIX THE HYPERDRIVE, on their Templates pages:
https://community.articulate.com/download/storyline-star-wars-knowledge-check
So I 'retrofitted' the course to allow users to 'click' as well as 'drag' each item:
https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/issues-retrofitting-accessibility-functions-to-a-former-drag-and-drop-exercise
At the start of the quiz, you can now select whether you would like to DRAG or CLICK, and this selection is also accessible using the TAB key.
In the CLICK version you can select your answer using the keyboard too.
Try it out here:

This is great and a great work around - still looks lovely in the click version - nice to see it working well with the tab order - which seems very hard to achieve with interactions at times
- Jonathan_Hill3 years agoSuper HeroThanks Lizzie - hotspots being accessible through the TAB key was central to this solution and helped me keep the flow/appearance of the quiz.
