EGS 215 (O'Hara): Presentation Tools

Presentation Tools

Below are a few resources that can be beneficial to you as you put together your Collaborative Class Project. There are a variety of slide deck templates, photo and video editing tools, and interactive media. The vast majority of these resources have FREE templates available to you for use with proper credit to the creating author. Please incorporate them into any citation or reference page you make. If you have questions about how to properly give credit, please reach out to me, and I would be happy to help.

Example: If you use a Slidedeck template, and do not leave the final slide that credits the creator, that is plagiarism.

Credit: Many of my resources were compiled from a thread made by Vrinda Nair.

Accessibility Tools

THE A11Y PROJECT
This checklist uses The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as a reference point. The WCAG is a shared standard for web content accessibility for individuals, organizations, and governments.
Diagram Center
These image description guidelines were developed by the Carl and Ruth Shapiro Family National Center for Accessible Media at WGBH (NCAM) in conjunction with the DIAGRAM Center (Digital Image And Graphic Resources for Accessible Materials) at Benetech. The DIAGRAM Center is a research and development center whose goal is to make it easier, cheaper, and faster to create and use accessible digital images.
Inclsuive Publishing: Word Document Accessibility 101
In our series of free weekly webinars March 10th, 2021, saw a practical workshop-style session focused on the accessibility of word documents. In our webinar series we’ve looked closely at how to convert accessible word documents to the EPUB file format but not in-depth at the word documents themselves. This session does just this.
Creating Accessible Word Docs: Part I
For your reference, this is the wisdom I have acquired in my research on how to develop an accessible Word document. This post is more “How-To” via bullet point, than “why-informative”. The information might be a little dry, but it’s really helpful information
