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.

As a student who frequently has class presentations, this is a great resource to look back to. Slide shows and presentations need to be accessible in different ways, including fonts, colors, and other components, all of which are covered in this AUDIT. This is a helpful tool that can be used by many.

Providing a slideshow AUDIT that lists off numerous ways we are able to make presentations more accessible for everyone is incredibly useful. This year I became familiar with this resource as a result of my OT 625 course, and frequently go back to reference this when submitting a project. On aspect about this list that most people may not consider, and is something I have learned from is including numbers on each slides. There are so many little aspects we can include in our daily lives that will make for a easier and more accessible experience that is helpful for everyone!

This is a great resource for students who often have presentations in their classes. A lot of the content provided has great descriptions of what is accessible. This is a great resource to have and look back to when doing presentations.

The slideshow AUDIT is a great resource! I love how it provides specifics with examples! For example, in the first section it mentions if the farthest seat is 20 ft. from the screen, the smallest font should be 20/8. The example is super helpful and allows me to better visualize/understand the guidelines.

This is a great resource for students of all ages to reference when creating a slideshow! I recently became familiar with this resource and look to it often for all my college course presentations!
