This is a helpful tool for students, teachers, and professionals who give presentations. Font size, as well as the font type and color are important components of an accessible presentation.

I enjoyed the Slideshow AUDIT because I used it often during class. Through 5 accessibility sections and 5 usability sections, it covers a large amount of information including color contrast, grouping of concepts, proper use of EqTDs, and putting the correct amount of text on each slide. This AUDIT was an excellent tool to check slideshows against for accessibility issues.

I think this is a great resource. Its overall very clear and easy to use. It's very helpful at addressing possible inaccessibility factors within a powerpoint and how to fix those problems.

Pretty thorough and easy to use. There is a typo on the last question for the accessibility tab. I believe it should say "Slides do not have..." instead of "Slides to not have..." Overall a great resource for slide accessibility.

It would be helpful if it incorporated dynamic elements of presentations like if there were sections on videos or narrative pieces like if audio was incorporated into the presentation. Otherwise, I think it addresses visual elements very well.

Since being introduced to the Slide Show AUDIT, I have found myself returning to this resource as I prepare presentations. My only note is that Accessibility Section 5 - Other Slide Features feels rather unspecific. I think it could be helpful if the AUDIT directed the user to further resources to check things like videos or audio features more thoroughly.

It took me several years of struggling with the heavy door to my building, sometimes having to wait until a person stronger came along, to realize that the door was an accessibility problem, not only for me, but for others as well. And I did not notice, until one of my students pointed it out, that the lack of signs that could be read from a distance at my university forced people with mobility impairments to expend a lot of energy unnecessarily, searching for rooms and offices. Although I have encountered this difficulty myself on days when walking was exhausting to me, I interpreted it, automatically, as a problem arising from my illness (as I did with the door), rather than as a problem arising from the built environment having been created for too narrow a range of people and situations.
