Document Accessibility: Accessible PowerPoint Presentations

Home Courses Document Accessibility: Accessible PowerPoint Presentations

Course Overview

Welcome to Document Accessibility: Accessible PowerPoint Presentations, part of the Microassist Accessibility Series. Microassist’s goal with this series of courses is to enable content creators to reach the broadest possible audience by helping authors create content that is accessible, perceivable, and useable by all users, regardless of level of ability or impairment.

PowerPoint is a standard program in today’s office software suite, and your audience is likely familiar with it.

Multiple versions of PowerPoint are currently in use. In today’s class, we’ll use PowerPoint 2016. You may find that some of the accessibility options and features are in different locations on earlier versions of the program.

During this course, we’ll explore how to enable users, including those with disabilities, to perceive and use the PowerPoint 2016 presentations that you create.

NOTE: Objectives and topics are subject to change based on new information and technologies.
