Hi Karen,

Morning Everyone!



I sent these to Matthew separately but will send them to the list.



Here are my conference handouts for creating accessible PowerPoint. I did a presentation at AHG two years ago on “Word to PowerPoint to Word” showing how to create your presentation in Word, bling it up in PowerPoint, then create the alternate format from the finished PowerPoint presentation.



I’ve just finished developing curriculum for a Mohawk College micro credential course on accessible PowerPoint, Outlook and Excel. Will send links once the courses are live.



Even I was amazed at the “bling” I could add to a presentation using a screen reader or just the keyboard.



The attached documents are free tutorials from my website.



I found a resource on the Microsoft site:

Use a screen reader to show your presentation with PowerPoint (microsoft.com)<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-a-screen-reader-to-show-your-presentation-with-powerpoint-7d9983fd-753d-474e-8214-c760e0bf75f2>



Let me know if you have any questions!



Cheers, Karen

Matt,



I am blind and give PowerPoint presentations all the time. I even create the content myself. Once I have it the way I “think” it should be, I have sighted colleagues review it to make sure everything does look good. I use JAWS and find it doable, while not the easiest to do. Creating the content is not difficult, formatting to be pretty is what can take some time and thought.



There are some basics to understand about using JAWS with PowerPoint. I suggest the student first create his content in Word using heading styles. Each new slide should start with a heading 1 style. When the file is pulled into PowerPoint, it will automatically create a new slide each time there is A heading 1 encountered. Heading 2 will be the main bullet points of the slide and heading3 will be the subpoints. You can go deeper than that if needed, up to a level 6. I personally have never found the need to do this.



When in PowerPoint, the F5 key will launch slide show mode. Once in this mode, SPACEBAR will advance a slide and BACKSPACE will go back a slide. The ESC key will exit slide show mode and return to the normal view for editing.



While in normal view for editing, TAB will move between the placeholders on the slide, ENTER will start edit mode on that placeholder, and ESC will exit edit mode for that placeholder. PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN will move between slides.



CTRL+M makes a new slide which will have the default format or sometimes the same format as the previous slide. CTRL+N creates a new presentation. As always, CTRL+S will save the slide and CTRL+O will open a presentation.



Feel free to contact me if you have further questions.

Hi Colleagues



Our student disability and inclusion team are supporting a blind masters student who will be undertaking a 90 minute viva. Part of this is the delivery of a 30 minute presentation using visual aids such as a PowerPoint presentation.



The student has never done an activity such as this before, and is not familiar with PowerPoint.



I would be interested to hear any experiences, tips, or strategies that can be used by the student and those who support the student. And any suggestions of software that might help. The student is reasonably confident using Narrator and Jaws, but this is more for consuming content and writing emails and documents.



Thanks



Matt
