Seeking advice on best method for switching between drag and drop and keyboard navigation.
Hello!
I have an accessibility question. I am working on a course for young kids that will feature drag and drops. The course needs to be accessible to keyboard navigation, though, and I’d like to allow learners to switch between “drag” and “click” mode, like this Storyline sample:

I know how to do this in Storyline, but am still getting my feet wet with Captivate. Rather than try to do this on one slide, I’m thinking that I might create the drag and drop interaction on a slide and a click interaction on another slide. If a learner selects the drag option, they’ll go to the other variation of the slide. Any thoughts, recommendations, better ideas?
Thanks!
what did you come up with?
Yep, I agree with Greg. That is an interesting solution. I never thought of using a button to create two different realities. I like this approach. You’d use advanced actions on the button for changing from drag and drop to slides and you’d then show the buttons like Greg Stated. Totally doable.
Really broad overview here but…
Perhaps an approach where the drag and drop is the default on enter ability like the SL example. When the switch is toggled I think you could simply hide all the objects associated with drop target and drag source and reveal the buttons associated with the click based response which would be initially hidden at publish.
That would allow you to have it all on a single path if that is actually your preference.
I do not see anything wrong with your idea though. It is simply another logic choice with a variable that is checked in order to ensure that you go down the correct slide path.
Does that help at all?
