Quizzes and audio player controls

Hi,

Two accessibility issues we have identified with Xerte are as follows:

In quizzes when moving to the next question, screen readers read the question title and focus then moves to the top of the page. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 2.4.3 (Focus Order).

Audio player controls may not be visible if colours on the site are changed. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.4.3 (Contrast (Minimum)).

Please can I ask whether these are known issues and if there is a timeline for any fixes?

Thanks very much for your help!

David.

Hi
quick reply for now...

Quiz focus issue
I'm not sure if the Quiz focus issue is something we already have on our issues list but I'll check and add it and it should be something we can resolve quite quickly. We have a dev day scheduled in 2 weeks so will definitely have a look then if not before. There might be a snippet of script you can add in the meantime and if so we'll post another reply once we've had a look.

Audio player controls issue
Again will add to our issue list but can you provide a more specific example? There are many ways that audio players can appear in Xerte and they don't all use the same code/controls.

Hi Ron,

That sounds great, thanks very much!

I will get you the detail re: the audio player - will be in touch next week.

Thanks,

David.

Hi David
please try the following in your quiz page:
#1 add a script optional property
#2 add the following script #3 test and confirm if that now works as you think it should after clicking next after each question and also after clicking restart if you have that enabled.

Hi Ron,

Hope you're well.

Yes, the quiz works with that fix. I presume at the moment we will need to add the script to each individual activity and the fix will be included in a future Xerte version?

Many thanks,
Geri.

Hi Geri
I've committed the change to our developer code so it will be part of the next update but in the meantime you could ask whoever looks after your installation to replace the file with the one attached. The location is \modules\xerte\parent_templates\Nottingham\models_html5\quiz.html

BTW your colleague also mentioned in the original post here about audio player controls contrast and I asked for specific examples but haven't seen a reply to that yet?
