What is Accessibility?Wikipedia Defines accessibility as being the degree to which a product, device, service or environment is available to as many people as possible.
What is Accessibility?(continued)Microsoft Defines accessibility as making something that can be usable by anyone – including those with disabilities. Since it is difficult to find out specifics about our audience, we need to create documents and presentations that are as accessible as possible for everyone.
Accessible PowerPoint PresentationsWhy?• Better screen reader navigation– Screen readers read a presentation using synthesized speech for the blind and low vision – Introduction to the Screen Reader– Screen reader Demonstration• Better communicate content to all people– Sufficient structure and contrast to enable a presentation to be understood
How to Navigate this Presentation• Slides are presented in 3 ways:– Why: Presents the rationale for the required or suggested guideline presented– Hands-on/Try It: Complete the activity specified on the slide– How-To: For reference only.

PRESENTATION TECHNIQUESBest Practices
IN THE CLASSROOMOral Presentations
Oral PresentationsPrepare & Distribute• Address all errors and warnings in the MS Accessibility Checker– To ensure that distributed materials are accessible• Distribute the presentation electronically before the live presentation– To enable the visually impaired follow along with the oral delivery and help the learning disabled process more content
Oral PresentationsSlide Design• Ensure fonts are 24 point & above–To ensure that the presentation can be read from the back of the room • Use a minimally-patterned slide background–To avoid disrupting the information presented• Provide sufficient contrast–Sometimes the contrast needs to be more pronounced for projection• Remove excessive animation or flashing elements–Flashing text, transitions, & animations can cause migraines or seizures
Oral PresentationsDeliver• Indicate slide transitions with a sound or vocal announcement– To indicate that new content is being introduced• Describe information available only in visual or auditory format such as pictures, tables, graphs, audio clips, music– Those with visual or auditory loss focusing on the speaker will be made aware of the information being presented
BLACKBOARD & WEBOnline Presentations
Blackboard & WebPrepare•Before posting or distributing– Address all warnings & errors in the MS Accessibility Checker•Deactivate automatic transitions– Enable those with learning disabilities to view a presentation at their own pace
Blackboard & WebCaption• Include a transcript for embedded audio–Ensure deaf and hard of hearing can track what’s being presented in the video• Make captioning available for embedded video & player and ensure that controls are accessible–Those with disabilities need a clear way to read and listen to audio & video• Use the notes pane to hold a transcript of a narrated slide show that will be read by screen readers–Enable the hard of hearing to read content and screen readers to read to the blind
Blackboard & WebCommunicate• Ensure that color is not used to convey content –The visually disabled will not be able to distinguish meaning by color• Check reading order of text boxes that are not part of the native slide layout–Usually the last thing read by a screen reader
Blackboard & WebPost• Post unprotected PowerPoint to enable people to modify fonts (size, type, color), backgrounds–Clear, clean, and simple text is the best way to effectively relay information• Do not post html version–html does not reproduce slide titles making navigation confusing
Help & Information• Instructional Support Center (ISC)Room 110, Tech Center215-204-0789isc@temple.edu− Staff are available to help you make your materials accessible• Accessibility Website http://accessibility.temple.edu− For tips, how-to guides, policies, and resources
