The only thing worse than presentation slides with a full paragraph (or two!) of text on them is a slide deck full of bulleted lists! But how do we take our visual design of academic content a step further so that it meets the learner halfway? Connie Malamed has six tips for just this purpose!
UDL/ADA TIP: Remember that info-intense graphics like these are not easy to alt-text for learners with low vision who use screenreaders. Be sure to create a text alternative to the graphic and link it nearby, with reference to that link in the alt-text fields of the graphics you embed in lieu of bullet lists.
If you need help creating interesting graphics for your course or training, you can create a free Canva education account using your .edu email address to really spice things up! The free education accounts include all premium services and products.
If you need more in-depth advice or strategies, email the Instructional Design Team (IDT) at helpdesk@uah.edu and we'll set up a time to talk about how we can help!
