Lab Overview

The recommended method to achieve an accessible PowerPoint presentation is to "Make a Webpage" by creating separate webpages for each slide or one webpage for the entire presentation. In Module 3, a twelve slide PowerPoint sample presentation ( HCI.ppt , 277 KB) based on the first lecture of a "Human-Computer Interaction" course will be made into one webpage. The sample PowerPoint contains information that is common to most higher-education courses such as: syllabus, grading, professor contact, and textbooks. For each slide, techniques will be demonstrated for converting elements that are often used in PowerPoint presentations to accessible content of a webpage, including:

Title slide,
Bulleted list,
Multiple columns of information,
Embedded video clip,
Table,
Image,
Drawn shapes,
Slide notes,
Chart,
Non-outline text,
Featured audio, and
Animation.
