Accessibility: As a public institution, The Ohio State University and OSU Extension have a responsibility in creating and disseminating content that is accessible to all audiences. Creating accessible content means reducing barriers to content consumption and comprehension. This session will explore our legal and ethical obligations in offering content that is accessible to all audiences as well as the basics of creating accessible digital content.

Become a PowerPoint Power User: PowerPoint is over 30 years old and while its novelty may have worn off, this presentation software remains one of the most widely used tools of Extension professionals across the country. But with widespread use often comes misuse. In this session, participants will learn how to create beautiful and engaging slide decks as well as videos, animations, and infographics for innovative digital engagement all within PowerPoint.

1–2pm 

Assessing Reach, Engagement, and Impact of Digital Content: Assessing the impact of digital content and online learning opportunities is no less important than assessing the impact of face-to-face programs, but it does require a bit more planning and preparation. Evaluation should be fully integrated into the development and design of online learning opportunities. This session will offer participants helpful information on incorporating evaluation into digital engagement and virtual programming.
