Mysteries of Accessibility: Designing Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides
Description: If you are providing a slide deck to your students, it is important to make sure it meets accessibility standards. You must make sure you set a reading order for the elements on your slides. Many of the items that make a slide deck accessible also help your typically-abled students succeed in your course. Finally, learning to use an accessibility checker becomes part of the proofreading process.
Mysteries of Accessibility: Using Color and Composing Alt Text
Description: Often when faculty hear “accessible content,” the first thing that comes to mind is boring—no pictures or colors. Content may be colorful and exciting and still meet accessibility guidelines. Careful consideration of a color palette at the inception of course production allows for finished products that are visually inviting and accessible. Images are easily transitioned into an item that will delight your typically-abled students while ensuring the success of your students with learning differences.
Mysteries of Accessibility: Recording Audio and Video
Description: More instructors are recording their lectures than ever before. Did you know there are things you can do in your recordings to help your students be successful? Do you know when you need a transcript vs a SRT (or what a SRT is)? Learn tips and tricks your recordings can include to help students. After all, most students rely on things that are required for accessibility standards even if they are typically-abled.
Mysteries of Accessibility: Constructing and Using Tables
Description: Are you using tables properly when considering accessibility? Did you know you should not use tables for layout purposes? Constructing accessible tables in Microsoft and Google products can be difficult; however, with the right features and tools, you can make tables that will help all of your students achieve the desired learning outcomes.
Mysteries of Accessibility: Composing with Microsoft Word and Google Docs
Description: Most instructors create course content in a word processing program. Making a Microsoft Word or Google Doc accessible will help you create clear, concise course content. Items may be visually interesting and meet accessibility standards. Font and color choices, outlines and headers, and other formatting standards must be considered when drafting an accessible document. Finally, learning to use an accessibility checker becomes part of the proofreading process.
