Description: PowerPoint presentations play a central role in teaching, but design choices such as color contrast, reading order, image use, and slide structure can impact how students access and engage with course content.

In this 30-minute session, participants will learn practical strategies for creating accessible PowerPoint presentations. We will explore how to use slide layouts, organize content with a logical reading order, write meaningful alternative text for images, select accessible color combinations, and use Microsoft PowerPoint's built-in Accessibility Checker to identify and resolve common accessibility issues.

Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to…

1) Utilize the built-in Accessibility Checker in PowerPoint to identify and fix common issues.
2) Apply remediation techniques to improve accessibility in PowerPoint presentations.
