IMPORTANT: Notes Section
The slides themselves have limited text so that participants do not have to read much during a presentation. The Notes section contains important information.
Make sure you read the notes for each slide. The first one starts with: [NOTES SECTION: This is where the important information is for each slide.]
.
To view the Notes:
- In Open Office Impress: From the View menu, select Notes Page.
- In Microsoft PowerPoint: From the View menu, select Normal.
- In some screen readers: Ctrl+Shift+N.
- Most software allows you to change the font size or zoom settings for the notes area.
Advice for Presenters
- Cover all displayed text. Describe pertinent parts of graphics.
Remember that some people may not be able to see the slides during your presentation, for example, people who are blind or people listening to an audio-only recording of the presentation. Make sure that you say all of the information that is on each slide. (This does not mean that you have to read the slide exactly as it is, just that you cover the information in what you say.)
When graphics or other displayed information is relevant, describe them to the extent useful for understanding the presentation. - Customize the presentation for audience and time.
Most presentations include slides and notes that are relevant for particular audiences, We encourage you to customize the presentation based on your audience and the time available. For some presentations you might want to delete slides, or add material specifically for your audience, for example, links to translations. Suggestions for customizing the presentation are included in the Notes section of several slides. - Printing the Notes.
Most presentation software allows you to print the slides along with the notes on the same page. You might need to change the margins or font size for all of the notes to fit on a printed page. You can also create a word processing version where you can more easily reformat the notes, for example, making them in a larger text size and putting the notes for one slide on two pages. - Provide handouts.
Consider providing copies of the presentation materials for the audience. For handouts related to WAI presentations, see WAI Handouts and WAI Flyer.
