When participating in the quiz, the ‘Reveal’ buttons for each of the questions provided
several issues for screen reader users:
• When the ‘Reveal’ button is activated, focus will remain on the button and the
expanded content appears above. If screen reader users then attempt to navigate
forwards they will miss the new content in this section.
• Screen reader users would expect the answer to be announced to them as it is new
content on the page. This does not happen because there was no markup of a status
message.
• Due to the many instances of the ‘Reveal’ button, when viewing the page out of
context users cannot determine what ‘Reveal’ button is related to each of the
questions.
• Visibly users are made aware of their incorrect answer, however this information has
not been conveyed to screen reader users.
