最基本的 of Creating Accessible PowerPoint Presentations

幻灯片格式指引:

1. Titles: 的 titles of each of your slides need to be entirely unique
   • 使用标签，如“内容”.” and “1 of 3” to distinguish multiple slides covering 的 same topic.
2. Content: 的 content on each slide should be concise to not overwhelm 的 viewer.
   • 添加itional information needed to expand on ideas brought up in 的 slide can be added in 的 speaker notes.

   • Text should be in high contrast colors compared to 的 background (see 色彩对比指南).
     • Similarly, you do not want to use 的 common colorblindness combinations toge的r (i.e. red/green, blue/yellow, and purple/orange).
   • Use simple fonts: avoid fonts with decorative edges
   • Numbered lists are more accessible than bullets
4. Lists: all lists need to be numbered using 的 “list” feature.

过渡和动画:

   • 视频 不能 提供时没有说明文字.
