Course Design Studio: Accessible Slide Design and Presentation Practices

Presentations are a core part of teaching, but without accessibility in mind, they can create barriers for students. In this 1-hour, hands-on session, you’ll learn practical strategies to improve both the accessibility of your slides and your delivery. These techniques not only support students with disabilities but also enhance engagement and understanding for everyone. 

Specifically, this session will cover: 

• How to design accessible slide decks that are easy to read and navigate for everyone 

• Inclusive presentation techniques that improve student understanding and engagement 

Course Design Studio sessions are designed to provide practical strategies for anyone involved in designing courses and learning experiences. They include a brief, high-level overview of the topic, step-by-step instructions on the specific tools mentioned, and dedicated time for both questions and hands-on, personalized support. To get the most out of this studio, please bring a laptop or mobile device for hands-on learning. 

Opportunities for one-on-one course design consultation are also available.
