Creating
Accessible PowerPoint Content by Learning Its Accessible
Features
(Fee-based Webinar
series are free to annual
members and scholarships are also available)
These
four weeks will be designed for non-technical content
providers. Once the
creator learns the basics of this tool, making content
fully accessible for students
with disabilities using assistive technologies will not be
burdensome.
Each
lesson will suggest 1-2 activities that participants can
try so they can get
the feel of how the PowerPoint features covered that week
actually work. These
activities will enable participants to know they
understood the material and to
master it in ways that help them remember the content.
