There is not a definite roadmap date for when the accessibility of these Question Types are improved.
Here are some recommendations for using these Question Types:
Bar chart, Line chart, Histogram, Dot plot, Line plot, Number line drag & drop, Number line with plot
For these questions, if accessibility is key we recommend either:
- Offering an alternate question that has the same learning outcome for the accessible user.
- Relying on the users ILP (Individual Learning Plan) where they may have someone assisting with the chart interaction
- Not using that question type at all for any users
Highlight image
This question is accessible for a keyboard only user, however, by its nature, is not a question type that can be made accessible for non sighted users.
This question type has been deprecated as of 2020. We advise using the new Drawing question type for the same content. Drawing will have parity in functionality.
