From the look of the url and the site, it appears to convert PowerPoint into
Flash animation - bad news for disabled users. Infuriatingly.
How do we accommodate the Disability Act and the benefits associated with
presenting learning material in graphical ways, thereby enhancing learning?
Taken to the logical extreme, any graphic which explains something visually
must be accompanied by a screen reader-friendly version. In this case, the
"presedia" version and the original version, thus doubling (?) the storage
space needed. To take an extreme example, what text would you provide for
the text version of the London Underground map? I'm not trying to be
anti-disability, but to find a way out of the maze.
