Designing Challenge & Engagement

“Learning does not occur simply as a result of access. In all learning activities, the

entry point must provide physical, sensory, and cognitive access and be

sufficiently supported to ensure success.”

“Ultimately,

high levels of learning and performance are only achieved as a result of

engagement, sustained over time, in tasks of increasing difficulty and

complexity.”

- David Edyburn (2007)

In addressing the “issues” in post-secondary education for students with

disabilities,

1. Is it the individual?or

2. Is it the environment?

“While nondiscriminatory in intent, accommodations are rarely based on pedagogical decisions by faculty concerning the best way to promote student learning.”

“Learning environments can be made more accessible and inclusive.” David Edyburn (2007)

Presenter Options, Including Universal Access Features

The “speaker notes” function in PowerPoint is used as a universal access feature.

The speaker notes contain text descriptions of the graphics, because it was not feasible to do this with PowerPoint’s ALT text function to provide access for people with disabilities, including vision and cognitive impairments.

The notes can also be used to prepare a presenter for delivering the slides.

Where graphics repeat, the descriptions for graphics only describe what has changed from the previous slide.

Unfortunately, current versions of the free PowerPoint Viewer do not support “speaker notes.”

Presenter Options – Viewing Speaker Notes

Using the “Slide Show” view In Windows, right click on the slide in use or use the

context key to bring up the menu, and then select “speaker notes”

On a Mac, using Ctrl + Click on the slide and select “speakers notes” from the menu.

The notes can also be seen as a part of the “Normal” view or directly by using the “Notes Page” view.

When in “Normal” view, F6 can be used to switch between the slide, notes, and outline panes respectively.
