Accessibility Guide for H5P Branching Scenario

Important Reminders

The activity may be more usable if:

• Slide content is added in the order it should be read
• Slides include a heading level 2 at the beginning of each slide
• Slide content is not set to auto-play
• Users are provided with instructions for navigating the activity, including the difference between the function of the Next button and the Next slide button, as well as how to answer questions using screen reading software
• Best practices for content authoring are used for course presentation elements, such as ensuring good color contrast and including alt-text descriptions for meaningful images.

Users who require magnification up to 200% and up to 400% may need to be provided with an alternative activity.

Visible Indication of Focus

The activity buttons have a visible indication of focus.  However, H5P incorrectly adds a visible indication of focus to text and images that are not interactive.

Color Contrast

The visible indication of focus does not have good contrast.  Some of the activity buttons have a visible indication of focus with poor color contrast.  The answer options have poor color contrast when hovered with a mouse.

Keyboard Usability

The activity is usable with the keyboard.  Activity buttons are keyboard accessible.  However, to use the activity with the keyboard, users are required to use extra keystrokes to navigate past content that should not be keyboard focusable, such as text and images.  Assistive technology may be used to jump to the slide title and Next button.

No Keyboard Traps

There are no keyboard traps.

Magnification

Content on slides does not magnify using browser settings.  An alternative version of slide content should be included that supports magnification up to 200% without a loss of content and functionality and that supports magnification up to 400% without requiring horizontal scrolling to view content and interact with content.

Usability with Screen Reading Software

The activity is usable with screen reading software.  When users of screen reading software navigate to a slide, the entire slide content is announced.  However, the focus stays on the slide navigation links at the bottom of the slide content.  Users of screen reading software are required to manually navigate to the top of the slide content to review the slide content in order and at their own pace.  This can make the reading order of slide content confusing.  On questions, the answer options are only recognized as text (not buttons or another type of interactive element) and users of screen reading software have to navigate past empty keyboard focusable elements (arrow icons) to review all answer options.  The reading order of slides with multiple text boxes may not be logical.
