Keep Accessibility in Mind

OCALI continues to work toward promoting full participation by all participants at OCALICONLINE and all of our conferences, events, and professional development offerings. You can help these ongoing efforts by designing your presentation with accessibility in mind.

What does this mean? It means if someone has low vision, he/she can still clearly see the text because you've used appropriate contrasting colors and large enough fonts. It means if someone is completely blind and uses a screenreader, they are able to know what graphics and images you used because you included the appropriate alt-text for images or because you are audio describing what's on your screen. These are but a couple of examples, but the ultimate idea is that we want everyone to be able to see, hear, understand and experience the content in a way that is accessible and appropriate for them.

We've provided both a video of a general overview and then a list of resources on how you can design your presentation and slide show so that they can be experienced by all.
