UCL Learning Portfolio

Making documents accessible is important for everyone, not just those with visual or hearing impairments or mobility issues. New regulations are now in force that require us to make all documentation accessible.

In this session you will learn how to make sure your PowerPoint presentations meet these requirements.

The Microsoft Office 365 PowerPoint version will be used for this session. There are only a few minor differences between this version and PowerPoint 2016 and these will be highlighted during the session. Users of both versions are welcome to join this session.

Once you have booked on the course you will be able to access all of the online materials in our Digital Skills Development Moodle course.

Once you have enrolled, please check that you have received a confirmation email from MyLearning. You will also receive an email with a joining link at least one day before the session.

Courses start on the hour but please join during the 5 minutes prior to this to download resources and test out your connection/audio.
