Notes On Accessible Versions

Accessible versions of PowerPoint files were converted into accessible HTML format using LecShare. This is one of the products available for converting existing PowerPoint files into a slideshow that uses web standards and follows accessibility guidelines.

Some slideshows were creating using HTML Slidy, a tool from the W3C that allows all slideshow content to be stored in a single HTML file, and optionally presented as a slideshow using CSS and Javascript. The following tips are useful for navigating Slidy presentations:

• To advance to the next slide, press the right arrow on the keyboard, or click the slide with your pointing device (e.g., mouse).
• To return to the previous slide, press the left arrow on the keyboard.
• To increase font size, press the letter B (for Bigger)
• To decrease font size, press the letter S (for smaller)
• For additional tips, follow the help? link near the bottom of the slide
