Captivate 2019 Tab Focus in Quiz and Knowledge Check Slides

Greetings, Captivate community.

I’m working on enabling accessibility for learners who aren’t able to use a mouse, and I’ve hit a roadblock with quiz and knowledge check slides. I’ve already confirmed that accessibility is working for screen readers, as confirmed by our screen-reader users. I’ve also got the focus indicator displaying on all buttons; however, it doesn’t display on quiz/kc radio buttons or checkboxes.

When I tab through a quiz or kc slide, the focus indicator disappears when it should be showing the first quiz answer radio button or checkbox. I can press the spacebar to select the quiz answer, and I can use the arrow keys to move up and down to select the other answers, but all the while I can’t actually see what I’ve selected until I’ve pressed the spacebar, which isn’t helpful.

I’ve viewed other similar posts on this and here’s what I’ve done: In the Publish Settings, I’ve checked Enable accessibility and Restrict keyboard tabbing to slide items only, and unchecked Hide selection rectangle for slide items in HTML5. I’ve also tried different combinations of these. None of this addressed the issue, so I went into the CPLibraryAll.css for the published project and added the CSS described in 8955973. I’ve also tried adding other elements and declarations to the CSS, but at this point I’m just throwing things at it and hoping something sticks.

Has anyone else had this trouble and overcome it with some wisdom to impart?

Using the Narrator Screen reader, You can use the Narrator key (which is the Caps Lock key) in combination with the left and right arrow keys to navigate the Questions, Answers, and Feedback created in Captivate 2019. This is the only way I have found that works.

Thanks very much for posting your answer. This may be a viable solution for some who have also posted here. However, for mobility-impaired individuals, this means they would have to control Narrator as well as the course, which isn’t ideal for our audience. Appreciate you taking the time to respond, though!

Any chance you have any updates on this?

Our team just discovered the same issue. Our keyboard accessibility compliance is severely compromised due to no visible tabbing between quiz slide options! Did anyone come up with a workaround solution yet? How do we report this to Adobe to get it fixed?

You can enable visible tabbing with the following steps:

  1. Click Edit \ Preferences.
  2. On the left hand side of the Preferences window that opens, expand the Project category and select the Publish Settings category.
  3. Ensure there’s a check in the box next to “Enable Accessibility” and remove the check in the box next to “Hide selection rectangle for slide items in HTML5.”

As I’ve mentioned in my post, however, quiz objects don’t show the tab focus indicator, which means developing quiz questions using objects, assigning points to them, and scripting feedback, which increases development and testing time.

As Faith has noted in her reply below, if you’d like to submit a feature request to Adobe, you can use the form at this link: http://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html.
