Presentation Software

Presentations made available to, or requested by, students, need to be made accessible.
- When presenting in a lecture; images, graphs, and charts should be described. This includes virtual presentations and when recording so captions can be generated.

When designing PowerPoints:
- Use a built-in template whenever possible.
- Use high-contrasting font colors (e.g. a dark font on white background).
- Use 20-point font sizes or higher when possible.
When providing PowerPoints to students as course content or a study aid:
- Give images an Alt Text description that conveys’ both meaning and context of the image.
- Use the Microsoft Accessibility Checker.
- Check reading order and adjust it as needed.
- Use the Reading Order Pane
