I wonder if it's a case where the instructor initially used the template proper, then deleted the template box (as they want to change all the information) and added a new box. I have seen where this will impact the accessibility as well as what appears in the Outline view. But that's just my 2 cent guess. Aloha!<br>

<div><span><font size="2" face="Arial">Aloha, all. I
have an odd question that I hope someone can help with. I'm regularly
asked to review various professors' Blackboard sites for the accessibility of
their course content. I've recently started to see Powerpoint slide shows
where some slides have all the text accessible, some slides have only part of
the text accessible and part not, and some slides are completely inaccessible
(blank in Outline view). In almost every case, the prof will have been
using the same basic template for every slide, and producing very "clean" slides
-- just a title at the top and three or four bullet points of
text. Some profs are using Office 2007 and a few may still be using
Office 2003. Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this erratic
accessibility issue, and more importantly, suggestions on how to resolve
it? I'm trying very hard to coach faculty to produce accessible materials
in the first place, and they're trying to comply, but this problem is growing
and retrofitting by re-typing the slide content into Word docs and distributing
to students is not a reasonable solution at this time.
