Content Considerations
Summarize Content: Provide summaries or key points at the beginning and end of the video.
Use Headings: Organize your content with clear headings and subheadings.
Use Clear Language: Avoid jargon and complex language. Use plain language that is easy to understand.
Written transcript (required): Provide a written transcript alongside the video. This will be used for captioning purposes.
Visual Considerations
High Contrast: Use high contrast between text and background colors for readability.
Text Size: Ensure that text is large enough to read, and use a legible font.
Text Description: Include verbal descriptions of any visual content (e.g., images, graphs) during the presentation.
Appropriate Framing: Ensure that your camera is centered and in focus if utilizing video.
Audio Considerations
Clear Audio: Ensure good audio quality and avoid background noise.
Appropriate Pacing: Ensure that the spoken audio is not too fast for participants.
