As we navigate the intricacies of everyday administrative tasks, we will explore the art of creating documents that meet the diverse needs of your audience and make information accessible to all.
- Designing Inclusive Presentations with Google Slides
Monday, June 10, 1-3pm, via Presentations Zoom
Slides are a powerful tool for enhancing your presentation, whether teaching a class, sharing information with colleagues, or presenting at a conference. In this workshop, we will demonstrate practical tips for creating engaging Google Slide presentations, while incorporating universal design principles and making your content accessible to diverse audiences.
Communities of Practice
Communities of Practice (CoPs) are groups of people who share common concerns, passions, or interests in topics, who come together to fulfill both individual and group goals. Communities of Practice focus on sharing best practices and creating new knowledge to advance professional practices. Read more about STCC CoP's.
