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.

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.
