使演示文稿易于访问

为什么要让演示文稿易于访问?

演讲 are an integral part of lesson development and course design. They provide information in a visually appealing and easy to digest format that is easily transformed into a platform for lecture notes. 项目 such as PowerPoint and Google Slides make creating these presentations easy and convenient.

Make your PowerPoint and Google Slides presentations accessible for students with disabilities using assistive technology such as screen readers.

Making 演讲 Accessible: 什么不起作用

The following list consists of the most common issues that make presentation materials inaccessible 以及如何避免它们的快速步骤:

• 使用 repeated slide titles; using the same title for multiple slides can make it difficult to navigate the slides
  • Instead: use qualifiers such as “Continued” or “1 of 3” for topics that span multiple slides
• 使用 a small font size; small fonts make presentations difficult to read for an audience in a large room or using a device with a smaller screen
  • Instead: use a font size of at leas 28 for all content
• 使用 color or underline as the only means of conveying meaning or importance; visual indicators are inaccessible to many readers
  • Instead: convey importance through textual context
• Inserting equations or formulas; equations and formulas in 演讲 cannot be rendered to an accessible format.
  • Instead: present equations as images and provide alternative text that matches the spoken text
• Inserting pictures of charts or tables; charts and tables that are inserted as images provide almost no information to screen readers.
  • 相反:使用 插入工具 插入图表和表格.
• 使用成语, 俗语, or jargon outside of topic specific terminology; language that is unclear, 模糊的, or irrelevant can create a barrier for many readers.
  • Instead: use clear and precise language appropriate for the anticipated knowledge level of the reader.
  • Idioms and 俗语 for stylistic purposes should be defined for clarity.
• 使用 微软插图; 插图 is inaccessible as it cannot be detected by screen readers.
  • Instead: text based lists are a good alternative for any flowchart process
