Creating more inclusive communications opens the door to greater opportunities for participation for everyone. However, realizing the full potential of existing communication tools requires attention to accessibility to ensure everyone can be part of the conversation. In this presentation, you will learn how to make slides and other content more accessible through the implementation of five best practices captured by the acronym SLIDE. These practices apply to content created for any kind of delivery (virtual, in-person or hybrid). Along with accessibility, participants will be introduced to the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) that will be modeled through the design and delivery of this session itself. UDL is a framework pioneered at CAST for designing learning experiences that are optimized to address variability and diversity.
