Hello all,
I am looking for some help determining the best course of action.
I created a software training in Articulate Storyline that has three
segments. A show mode, try mode (which involves hotspots) and a pdf job aid
that includes the step-by-step that is demonstrated and practiced in the
show-me try-me with some additional context and more in-depth information.
Regarding accessibility, I am wondering if the pdf alone is the best option
to present the information in an alternative and accessible format. Is it
equitable even though it contains additional information? .
I considered adding voice-overs or making a transcript for the show-me but
that seems a horrible idea. Picture this: "the curser moves to the top left
corner over the drop down arrow next to the home tab". This voice-over
would not provide a non-visual user any usable information. The whole
sequence is only helpful for someone who is planning to use the mouse to
perform the functions. As a large part of my audience will be doing just
that, I don't want to exclude information that would help them accomplish
their task but I do want to provide the information in multiple ways to
benefit multiple users.
Do I need to eliminate the show-me/try-it portion of the training and
provide only the pdf? If not, what is the best approach for alternatively
representing the information. Is the step-by-step in the pdf adequate? Or
should there be another document that only goes through the step-by-step as
described in the video? Is there a better solution I have not explored?
Thank you for your help in trying to find the most accessible solution!

Write the documentation in such a way that the accessible name and role of
actionable elements is part of the explanation ("My Account" button) and
that you provide location relative to other elements in code order ("below
the main page header"). I don't see why you couldn't mix this with visual
references (the blue "My Account" button on the left), as long as there
were enough non-visual details for a user to understand. If there are too
many cursor-related details, I suppose you could provide another section
written with non-visual and/or keyboard-only users in mind.
