Instructor: I cannot start this section
any other way than showing you w3.org.
The website is changing constantly
because, of course, the accessibility standards change.
But in general, you can go to standards
and open W3C standards and draft.
You can then search for WCAG,
and here you have always the newest drafts
of accessibility standards.
3.0 is in the making and if you click on this document
and search a little through this document,
for example, adaptable,
create content that can be presented in different ways.
For example, simpler layout,
so you can have a more complicated and a simple layout,
and so on and so on.
What is even more important to us, PowerPoint users,
is the web accessibility initiative.
Please go to w3.org/wai, and here we have something
of extreme importance.
We can go on the right side,
not only to our standards and guidelines,
but to teach and advocate.
On the teach and advocate side, there is something called
making events accessible checklist.
This is of special interest to us PowerPointers.
You can open all the guidelines.
You need to keep in mind people who cannot properly see,
hear, move, speak, or understand you.
For example, people that sit in the back row,
you can always ask them,
"Am I speaking loud enough that you can hear me?"
Or "Do you see my presentation correctly
because you are sitting so far away?"
You need to keep those things in mind,
especially when presenting live.
For example, for the speaker, planning your session,
preparing slides and projected material,
you should use an easy-to-read font face,
you should use sufficient contrast between colors,
you should consider how to use motion or animations,
make provided material accessible,
limit the amount of text on each slide.
You can see how this all comes together
to what I'm teaching in this course.
Those are the basics about w3.org,
and we'll see each other in the next lectures
where I'll present to you how you can make
your presentations accessible using PowerPoint.
