    Query \(\PageIndex{1}\)

     

    Overall Usability

    Usable with Workarounds:

    • The activity requires significant adjustments by content authors.

    Important Reminders

    Use workarounds and best practices for content authoring.

    Users who require good color contrast may need to be provided with an alternative activity.

    Provide users with instructions that describe the Retry button icon for users who require magnification. 

    Visible Indication of Focus

    The activity buttons have a visible indication of focus.

    Color Contrast

    The visible indication of focus does not have good contrast.  The visible indication of focus is a thin black line.  The color contrast of the answer choice radio buttons is not good.  Users who require a visible indication of focus with more contrast may use assistive technology.  The color contrast of meaningful visual elements and text with backgrounds must be ensured manually by the content author.

    Keyboard Usability

    The activity is usable with the keyboard.

    No Keyboard Traps

    There are no keyboard traps.

    Magnification

    The activity supports both magnification up to 200% and reflow of content with magnification up to 400% without a loss of content or functionality and without requiring horizontal scrolling.  The Retry button text is not visible at 400% and the tooltip for the button does not magnify, but the icon does.

    Usability with Screen Reading Software

    This activity is usable with screen reading software.

    Multiple Choice Workarounds

    This activity can be made mostly accessible. Content authors need to correctly use content formatting and H5P activity type specific options to ensure each Multiple Choice activity is as accessible as currently possible.  Accessibility barriers include, but may not be limited to all the barriers identified in Fill in the Blanks, Recommended with Workarounds (see above for details):

    • No option to set the correct language for the activity
    • No option to set the correct language for content
    • No title for the activity iframe.

    Question

    Example Question:

    Select the correct that identifies the type of comparison.

    Stanford University is the most expensive of the four options mentioned in the article.

     

    The Question field is intended to provide instructions for the activity and the question related to the Available options. However, the Question field also acts as the label for each Available option. These labels are used by assistive technology. While visually, the Question only appears once, users of assistive technology encounter the Question repeated as many times as there are Available options in the activity. The Question should be short because it is also the label used by assistive technology for each Available option. While the Question field includes text formatting options, the text formatting is not part of the label used by assistive technology. Do not use italics, superscripts, subscripts, headings, or any other text formatting options in the Question field if the text formatting conveys structure or meaning.

    Available options

    • It is a superlative.
    • It is a comparison of inequality.
    • It is a comparison of equality.

    Multiple Choice activity answers are organized as Available options. Each Available option has limited content formatting options. The text formatting in Available options should be limited to normal text as much as possible. Bold text can be used when the use and meaning are described in the activity Question.

    Tips and Feedback

    Each Available option can include Tips and feedback.  The H5P options were not tested for accessibility conformance.

    Behavioral Settings for Multiple Choice

    The following is a list of Behavioral Settings options with suggestions to make the content accessible:

    • Randomize answers
      • Do not check
    • Show confirmation dialog on "Check"
      • Do not check
    • Show confirmation dialog on "Retry"
      • Do not check
    • Automatically check answers
      • Do not check H5P Content Authoring Accessibility Guide Page 16 of 16 Text Overrides and Translations for Multiple Choice

    The following is a list of Text Overrides and Translations options with suggestions to make the content accessible:

    • Check answer button label
      • Show solution for Activity 1
    • Show solution button label
      • Show solutions for Activity 1
    • Retry button label
      • Retry Activity 1
