Sorry it wrapped. If you go to the main page:
https://karen-mccall.teachable.com/

Then activate the "View all courses and publications" it is the last one. If
you're using a screen reader, it will be in the list of links - starting
with the letter M for those using first character navigation.

Cheers, Karen

I also have updated resources on creating accessible Word and PowerPoint
(and converting to PDF) on my Teachable site. They are free.
https://karen-mccall.teachable.com/p/microsoft-office-tutorials-and-resource
-documents

There is a list of current topics on that page for you to look at before you
sign up/enroll.

You just have to sign in and enroll. I use Teachable because I can then send
a post to everyone in that "course" when I post an update. I do not use your
e-mail for anything else like marketing.

I am currently teaching the accessible PowerPoint segment of my course on
accessible Word and PowerPoint in the Mohawk College certificate program
"Accessible Media Production."
For those living in the Hamilton ON area of Canada and might be interested
in this certificate, here is a link to the program description:
https://www.mohawkcollege.ca/programs/graduate-studies/accessible-media-prod
uction-390

It is another example of how accessibility and inclusion are being
recognized as needing to be part of education!

Cheers, Karen

There are a handful of such resources in various places, I think, but my
go-to first-stop continues to be the resources provided by our mailing list
hosts, WebAIM:
https://webaim.org/techniques/powerpoint/
and
https://webaim.org/techniques/word/

One of the things I like about the WebAIM resources, is that they seem to do
a reasonably good job keeping their Word and PowerPoint resources up-to-date
in order to reflect changes in various versions of Microsoft Office. Their
pages are not necessarily 100% comprehensive of everything, but I find them
consistently reliable as a good first stop.
