<p class="MsoNormal">We discussed the transitions and animations used in MS PowerPoint last week. The majority voted against using them because screen readers do not render them correctly or do not render them at all. Some professors use animations to show
the sequential steps in Chemistry or Biology. From research, I read that if the professor posts it elsewhere, they must remove or flatten the transitions or animations before posting it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am curious if anyone out there knows anything more about the PPT’s transitions and animations and/or making them more accessible?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
