Welcome!

Have a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation you've created? Or are you in a bind with inaccessible publisher PowerPoint slides?

This self-paced micro-course can help get you started in learning PowerPoint accessibility basics, apply what you've learned, and help you create accessible PowerPoints that will help all of your students be successful in your course.

Please see the Syllabus for course information, time commitment, and a list of FAQs.

Practice what you learn!

When you see the Fix Me PowerPoint icon on the left, open your saved Fix Me PowerPoint. Make sure to save all of your accessibility edits!

Download the Fix Me PowerPoint now.
This micro-course will build on the accessibility techniques with this single file
(and will eventually use it for our final assessment.)

Once you download the file, make sure you can edit and view it correctly. Please read this important note about enabling content in order to edit PowerPoint content.

A key will be provided to help you check your work as this is a self-paced course with no facilitators.

What is your version of PowerPoint?

Based on the needs of our community colleges, this course is designed for the Windows desktop version of PowerPoint 2016. Some of the screenshots and tutorials may show a PowerPoint workspace that looks different from yours.

However, support is provided for the Mac version, Office 365, and older versions at the time of need.

To check your PowerPoint version, read About Office: What version of Office am I using?
