If you're using code-based slides, here's some Markdown to start with.
Accessibility
As you prepare your slides, please be mindful of accessibility. Below are tips to keep in mind:
- Plan to describe images you use if they contain content relevant to the presentation, for people who cannot see them.
- New vocabulary/tech-y words are nice to have written on slides, especially for those in the audience who are not native English speakers.
- Upload your slides to MidCamp.org ahead of time, so that people could use screen readers with it or zoom in to see text on their local machines.
- Keep in mind contrast ratios of text/background colors. If using reveal.js, consider running your presentation though Google's Lighthouse tool.
- wave.webaim.org can be pointed at the raw html and do an evaluation.
- All sessions will be captioned using Zoom. More information can be found on our Accessibility page.
- Transcripts will be created shared at a later date.
Session Setup
Speakers should arrive at their Zoom room 10 minutes early for setup. Check the Schedule for your day and time-slot. Please review our Virtual Speaker Resources for more information.
