PowerPoint (Checklist and Implementation Guide)
Below you will find consolidated information on creating accessible PowerPoint presentations. In addition to the checklist, the implementation guide provides practical support for addressing individual checkpoints.
In the implementation guide, each aspect is divided into three sections:
Under the heading 'What does this mean?', you will find a detailed description of the criterion in question. The section 'Why is this important?' explains which barriers are addressed by the respective aspect and for which groups of people it is essential. Finally, under the heading 'How can you implement/check this?', you will find detailed instructions on how to implement or review the respective aspect.
To meet a wide range of needs and enable independent use regardless of time and place, the checklist Accessible PowerPoint (Word document) and the implementation guide Accessible PowerPoint (Word document) are available for download.
Um allen Bedarfen gerecht zu werden und Ihnen eine zeit- sowie ortsunabhängige Nutzung zu ermöglichen, stehen die Checkliste PowerPoint barrierefrei (Word Dokument) sowie die Umsetzungshilfe PowerPoint barrierefrei (Word Dokument) zum Download bereit.
