No previous message | Next message →
Greetings,
Does anyone have an example of a Likert scale form question that is accessible? I'm trying to help someone who's using a survey tool to create these, and the question isn't being associated with the answers. I know I've encountered accessible ones, but all the examples I could think of were in official surveys that I can't reach now.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Courtney,
Karen McCall does them in her PDF forms training materials through teachable.
And I believe that you can do those with Microsoft Forms as well.

Hello Courtney,
I do a radio button with number options (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and just tell
the user in the question that 1 is low and 5 is high, or whatever the scale
is. Don't use the default scales unless you know they work. Just make your
own. To get the radio buttons you do 5 choices where the user can only
select one.
I use both Microsoft forms and Google Forms, but I've also seen it done on
Qualtrics.
Thanks,
Brandon Keith Biggs <http://brandonkeithbiggs.com/>;

Thanks, Brandon!
I believe the tool being used in this case is Explorance Blue. Anyone have experience with this one?

Hello Courtney,
I've never heard of them, but in theory, they are WCAG AA compliant:

So doing a simple multiple choice question using 5 number options should
work just fine.
Thanks,
