Creating Accessible Documents and Slide Shows
When creating files with either a word processor (i.e. Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Pages, or the ATTO text editor) or a slide show (i.e. PowerPoint, Google Slides, Keynote), we recommend exporting the files as a PDF and adding that to Moodle. This ensures everyone will be able to open the file regardless of the software they have (or don't have) and it will ensure the files can re read by a variety of screen readers.
Animations to transitions are not compatible with this method. To preserve those elements, save the file as a video.
Add Alt-Text to Images
Alt-text is a verbal description of the image that is read when a screen reader finds it in the text. This should describe the image in detail, but not too much. Typically, we restrict alt-text to less than 150 characters and we avoid the words like "image of" in the alt-text.
