Are your Google Slides presentations as accessible as they are visually engaging? We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our new, targeted guides for creating inclusive presentations using Google Slides and the Grackle Slides accessibility checker!
Presentations often contain complex visual elements—like charts, layered text boxes, and images—that can create barriers for users relying on assistive technology. Our new resources show you how to navigate these challenges and make every slide count for every viewer.
What You’ll Learn to Master: Structure and Visuals
Our new resources focus on the core elements of accessible slide design:
- Slide Structure and Flow: Learn the critical importance of using unique slide titles and the built-in slide layouts to ensure a logical reading order and clear navigation.
- Visual Elements: Get definitive guidance on how to write descriptive Alternative Text for all non-text content, including images, charts, and drawings.
- Readability Checks: Tips for avoiding low color contrast and excessive styling that can make content difficult to read for students with low vision or cognitive disabilities.
- Grackle Slides Walkthrough: A complete, step-by-step guide on how to launch the Grackle Slides checker, interpret its five categories (Presentation, Slides, Tables, Elements, Contents), and use its guided fixes.
