Many e-learning course designers out there believe that any thing you
create using Articulate is automatically accessible which is not the
case.
Articulate is not accessible but tools like PowerPoint can be used in
accordance with articulate to create accessible e-learning course
content.

I have found nearly every element of the Articulate Player can be
customized. With so many customization options, it is useful to have a
way to save and quickly apply pre-configured player options. Player
Templates provide this ability.

Subject: [WebAIM] Articulate Accessibility Issues?

Hi all,

Right now I'm researching the accessibility of an e-learning development
software called "Articulate".

As such, I figured I'd ask, have any of you taken courses that you knew
were
developed in Articulate? If so, could you please tell me what was your
experience with the courses that Articulate creates? What kind of
accessibility issues did you run into?

Thanks in advance,
~Sam
