Jeff,

As mentioned previously, it wasn't put together as a live presentation, it
was based on a live presentation and was put on the site as a resource for
those that attended the live seminar.

The slides can obviously be updated as needed. We were unsuccessful using
the PPT accessibility program mentioned in the other posts so we added audio
to the slides. If you make it full screen, the slides will even
automatically go to the next slide.

It merely serves as a resource to developers and designers and we know that
it is not the most accessible format. PPT is not the best way to present
information on the web for accessibility reasons and that is why PPT is not
used elsewhere.

If you check out the rest of the site, you will find that is accessible and
meets the current Section 508 and WCAG-II standards. We are always open to
comments or suggestions that might make pages more accessible.

We take pride in the fact that we offer FREE career and computer training
for beginning computer users in both English and Spanish and that we have
made our content accessible to all.
