Accessible Presentations #16

Open Foggalong opened 3 weeks ago

Aside from the brand guidelines, the university has guidance on creating accessible powerpoints. While some of this won't be possible to replicate in LaTeX, e.g.

Use standard slide layouts and check order of information in outline view to ensure accessibility for those reading slides using screen readers.

most of the points can be integrated into the beamer theme without worry, e.g.

Do not use colour as the only indicator of meaning, such as priority items shown in red.

and some can be added as advice in the docs, e.g.

Bullet points assist in making slides easier to follow.

The university also has this page on creating accessible teaching resources. That links to this blog from Informatics, this one from UCL, and this one from Glasgow.
