For interested parties, the following information is for
an on-line clinic hosted by EASI (Equal Access to Software
and Information). I'll also be assisting with the clinic.
January 8, How to produce accessible PowerPoint for the Web
Presenters Dick Banks and Norm Coombs (EASI)
This is part of EASI's tuition-based clinic series.
Individual registration is $39 with special institutional
rates also available.
PowerPoint is another popular presentation format for
faculty. It was originally conceived to support face-to-
face presentations, but as presenters began posting them
online, PowerPoint increasingly became a tool for creating
presentations primarily designed for online delivery.
The PowerPoint software does permit the designer to save
content for the Web, and it does the HTML code for the
presenter. Both stand-alone slides and those on the Web
pose a number of accessibility problems. In part, it
depends on the design features used in the PowerPoint,
and, in part, it depends on the special adaptive software
the user has for his or her interface. A free plug-in
created by Dan Linder from the University of Illinois is
one of the tools that facilitate creating accessible
PowerPoint for the Web.
