1. No captioning with the video
2. Horrible purple font.
3. No text version for audio file,
4. No keyboard navigation available
5. Used color to convey meaning
6. Font is not changeable
How to Correct Problems:
1. Pay someone to caption the video for you!
2. Change font color to a non- Red,Blue,Green. Simple Black on white background would have been appropriate.
3. Create a text version or powerpoint presentation to accompany audio file.
4. Create embedded table to use keyboard navigation of interactions and links.
5. Change matrix interaction colors to bold or italics, or change the size of the font.
6. Create in an embedded word document so font is able to be changed by the user.

Instructor Created Presentation 1: Powerpoint
In order to ensure that a Powerpoint presentation was ADA compliant, I would simply design it with my self created checklist in mind. All videos and audio sections would have to contain a text version. Font and titles would be kept basic with no flash or dash. Colors would be a simple black and white.
Instructor Presentation 2: iMovie
In order to ensure that IMovie presentation was ADA compliant, I would also follow the checklist with the main focus being on a text version. Also, the movie would need to contain captioning.
Hey Scott,
ReplyDeleteDoes imovie allow you to do closed captioning? I tried downloading the magpie software and installing it on my work computer and couldn't do it. I still want to try closed captioning but was glad to hear that youtube activated it on many of their movies.
Putrid purple? Nice alliteration! You covered most of the bases but watch out for inappropriate use of tables. My test page had a couple.
