Easy to understand, but on the whole, this may not be as useful as some lecture halls are really big- what do you do then?

Easy to understand and making sure that the font size is big enough for individual's that sit further away in a lecture hall. Also having the font on a back ground that makes the font pop out.

Very easy to understand and definitely needed, especially when presenting strictly over computers these days.

I did have a hard time accessing the link to this PowerPoint lecture for some reason, but overall I thought the information was interesting, especially knowing about the right minimum font size for accessible media depending on how far the seatings are from the screen.
