Rehabilitation Research Design & Disability (R 2 D 2 ) Center, UW-Milwaukee, 4 Designing Challenge & Engagement “Learning does not occur simply as a result of access. In all learning activities, the entry point must provide physical, sensory, and cognitive access and be sufficiently supported to ensure success.”

Rehabilitation Research Design & Disability (R 2 D 2 ) Center, UW-Milwaukee, 5 “Ultimately, high levels of learning and performance are only achieved as a result of engagement, sustained over time, in tasks of increasing difficulty and complexity.” - David Edyburn (2007)

Rehabilitation Research Design & Disability (R 2 D 2 ) Center, UW-Milwaukee, 7 In addressing the “issues” in post- secondary education for students with disabilities, 1. Is it the individual? or 2. Is it the environment?

Rehabilitation Research Design & Disability (R 2 D 2 ) Center, UW-Milwaukee, 8 “ While nondiscriminatory in intent, accommodations are rarely based on pedagogical decisions by faculty concerning the best way to promote student learning.” “ Learning environments can be made more accessible and inclusive.” David Edyburn (2007)

Rehabilitation Research Design & Disability (R 2 D 2 ) Center, UW-Milwaukee, 23 Presenter Options, Including Universal Access Features  The “speaker notes” function in PowerPoint is used as a universal access feature.  The speaker notes contain text descriptions of the graphics, because it was not feasible to do this with PowerPoint’s ALT text function to provide access for people with disabilities, including vision and cognitive impairments.  The notes can also be used to prepare a presenter for delivering the slides.  Where graphics repeat, the descriptions for graphics only describe what has changed from the previous slide.  Unfortunately, current versions of the free PowerPoint Viewer do not support “speaker notes.”

Rehabilitation Research Design & Disability (R 2 D 2 ) Center, UW-Milwaukee, 24 Presenter Options – Viewing Speaker Notes  Using the “Slide Show” view  In Windows, right click on the slide in use or use the context key to bring up the menu, and then select “speaker notes”  On a Mac, using Ctrl + Click on the slide and select “speakers notes” from the menu.  The notes can also be seen as a part of the “Normal” view or directly by using the “Notes Page” view.  When in “Normal” view, F6 can be used to switch between the slide, notes, and outline panes respectively.
