26. Resources: what to consider
Title of presentation (Insert > Header & Footer > Notes and Handouts > Header > Apply to all)
Resources need to be copyright friendly – images, videos
Think about using creative commons
Resources have to be accessible, inclusive and manageable (using common file types)
This means multi media and with hearing, sight and other disability and accessibility issues taken into consideration
You may want learners to generate resources, and they should consider these issues too
