As an association dedicated to promoting educational research, EERA aims to ensure that the presentations given during the annual ECER conference are fully accessible to everyone. Accordingly, we recommend that presenters adhere to the guidelines prepared by Network 04 - Inclusive Education, which are provided in the PowerPoint template. These guidelines promote presentation practices that consider the varied abilities of the audience and aim to maximize participation for everyone.
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ BELOW HOW TO ENSURE ALL YOUR COLLEAGUES CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSIONS
How to make your presentation accessible
- If available, always use the microphone.
- Face the audience when speaking.
- Repeat audience questions before answering them.
- If your presentation software supports live captions (e.g. Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides), you are encouraged to enable them. Please note that caption quality depends on your presentation software and microphone setup.
- Verbally describe important figures and graphs instead of saying "as you can see here."
- Use high-contrast slides with large fonts (minimum 24–28 pt).
Do not rely on colour alone to convey meaning. Use labels, patterns, symbols, or direct annotations so that information remains understandable for participants with colour vision deficiencies or low vision
