--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)1 sentence summarising each point you make. Maximum 7 words for each line. This will increase readability. And keeping the text to a minimum allows audience to follow the speaker, not the slide.
++Try summarising each point you want to make in 1 sentence. And make the text on each line no more than 7 words: this is optimal for readability. Keeping the text to a minimum allows audience to follow the speaker, not the slide. When you create your slide content, consider people who'll photograph them to refer to or share later.
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Consider people who photograph slides to digest later: make sure points make sense out of context of the spoken content.
++Too many slides can be distracting. On average we only remember around 20% of what we are presented with. Why make it harder?
--=== {{id name="#2"/}}2. Use fewer slides, not more slides. ===
++=== {{id name="#2"/}}2. Avoid multiple bullet points. ===
--(% class="wikigeneratedid" %)
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Too many slides are distracting. And on average we only remember around 20% of what we are presented with. Why make it harder?
++They're great for organising but bad for presenting, as it's harder to absorb and remember multiple points from a presentation slide at a time. Consider 1 image or point for each slide.
--=== {{id name="#3"/}}3. Keep bullet points short. ===
++=== {{id name="#3"/}}3. Include a variety of communication styles. ===
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Bullet points are not universally agreed to be user-friendly for presentations. (%%)
--\\(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Make sure they at least follow the same rules as your other slide content: no more than 7 words on each line and large font. Consider presenting 1 concept on each slide.
++People will be more likely to absorb and remember content from your presentation if you use a range of methods, for example: visual, textual, speech.
--=== {{id name="#4"/}}4. Vary your presentation style. ===
++=== {{id name="#4"/}}4. Test content with people using mobiles. ===
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Pause, ask questions, walk around. Consider including an interactive element or activity in your presentation or talk. This helps your audience stay attentive, as they will be changing between different learning methods.
++Find out how they interpret and interact with the content. Did you write something that can be understood in different ways? Did anyone use their mobile in ways you did not expect?
--=== {{id name="#5"/}}5. Use large font sizes. ===
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Your presentation text needs to be easily read from the back of the room. Never use a smaller font size than 36pt and choose non-serif.
++Use good visual contrast 3:1 - various tools to check this. Powerpoint has tools built in.
--=== (% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Choose a size larger than you might think, then sit far away from the screen and squint to test. At Content Design London we use a font size of minimum 60pt. This makes it very easy to read.(%%) ===
++Use large fonts. Text needs to be easily read from the back of the room - 36pt minimum, use non-serif of a size larger than you might think - sit as far away from the screen and squint to test.
++Use alt text for slide decks that are distributed outside of the talk. Regardless, explain all images regardless of how obvious you think they are including context, reference to source material etc. Describe pertinent parts of graphics, videos, and other visuals. Describe them to the extent needed to understand the presentation. (You usually do not need to describe decorative images.).
--=== {{id name="#6"/}}6. Use good visual contrast. ===
++Remember when asking for people to raise their hands you need to describe the reaction.When using graphs describe the most important point which the graph demonstrates, make sure all labels are as large as possible. twice as large as you think they should be! Avoid 3D graphs - harder to read. Don't use pie charts - hard to read.
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Various online tools are available to check this, and Powerpoint has built in tools.(%%)
--\\(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)WCAG 2.1 recommends 3:1 for large-scale text and images of large-scale text. This applies to text on presentation slides.(%%)
--
++Don't over-use Gifs and animations - can be distracting especially if they loop, always explain what is happening. Having explanations of video content at the ready also mitigates for them not loading or playing properly.
--=== {{id name="#7"/}}7. Make graphs and infographics large, clear and simple. ===
++Use captions for video content.
--(% style="line-height:1.38" %)
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Make sure any graphic content in your presentation can be seen from the back of the room. It may need to be larger than you think. Check that labels are in clear language and large font.
++Consider using a live captioning service for all of your spoken content. Allowing for the time it takes to translate. Auto captioning by Google or Powerpoint requires a good internet connection and is not nearly as accurate as a dedicated live caption service.
--(% style="line-height:1.38" %)
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Avoid 3D graphs and pie charts, these are hard to read.
++Repeat questions from the audience, not everyone will hear the question, which makes the answer unintelligible.
--(% style="line-height:1.38" %)
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Avoid including complex graphs to convey information. Explain information about the data simply, introducing 1 piece of information at a time. This reduces cognitive load for your audience.
++speak slowly and clearly - this helps with interpreter / lip readers / 2nd language / cognitive impairments. Your delivery will seem slower than it is if you are nervous: slow down. Sign language interpretation means that someone who needs this can only focus on one thing at a time (presenter, interpreter, or slide) and translation takes time so allow for this when referring to slides. Pause between slides - give people time to process the information.
++Pause at the start of each slide to allow for deaf and hard of hearing to read it. Then start by reading it for the blind or partially sighted.
--=== {{id name="#8"/}}8. Do not use many GIFs and animations. ===
++Face your audience, as close as possible - helps especially with lip-readers, but we all have less cognitive load when we can see the face of the person speaking.
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)These can be distracting, especially if they loop. Always explain what is happening.
++Use a mic. Some assistive tech will require it. For example: ALDs/hearing loops and remote CART writers.
++Take audience questions via a mic so that everyone can hear. Note that asking questions in a crowd can be intimidating and hard for many reasons like disability - consider using alternatives like Slido so people can type their questions. Avoid "Can you hear me OK?" This is not a question everyone will be comfortable replying to.
--=== {{id name="#9"/}}9. Use captions for video content. ===
++Test the amplification, speakers, and mics before the talk.
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:18.6667px; white-space:pre-wrap" %)This allows deaf attendees to access the information provided through video, if they are able to read.
++don't use pointers on your slides - they are distracting
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Having explanations of video content ready also helps you as a presenter, if they do not load or play properly.
--=== {{id name="#10"/}}10. Use alt text for slide decks distributed after, or independently from, the talk. ===
--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)If people will access your slide deck out of context of the talk:

--(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Some audience members may have communicated through sign language from birth. English will be a second language for them if they speak it at all. (%%)
--\\(% style="color:#000000; font-family:Arial; font-size:14pt; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:400; text-decoration:none; white-space:pre-wrap" %)Including sign language access to your presentation will open your presentation or talk up to another audience segment. However Content Design London was advised that currently there are not enough sign language translators. So be aware of that too, as there may be a greater need for sign language translation at another event happening at the same time.
