PowerPoint Standards



• Narration must consist of shorter sentences (i.e., conversational tone) as opposed to longer sentences (i.e. scholarly texts).

• To ensure efficiency and accuracy in the audio production as well as the closed captioning processes, narration must be provided in two ways:


Narration



1. The narration corresponding with each slide must be included in the Notes section of that slide in the PowerPoint presentation. It must be indicated by an underlined, all-capitalized heading of NARRATION/CLOSED CAPTIONS.

2. A separate Microsoft Word document (template will be provided) must also be filled out and included in the module materials package. This document must clearly indicate each slide # and its corresponding narration.


Narration (continued)



• If any images need to be animated (e.g. appear after the second bullet point), animation cues must be provided in the Notes section of the PowerPoint slide on which the image is to appear. These cues must be all-capitalized, bold text placed within bold brackets.

• An example is shown on the next slide.

• Animation cues are ONLY to be included within the narration text in the PowerPoint Notes section. Please do not include them in the separation narration script document.


Cues for Animations



Example of Notes section:

NARRATION/CLOSED CAPTIONS:These are a few essential components that go into creating a complete module. These components include:[BULLET #1 APPEARS] The PowerPoint outlining the main points of your content.[BULLET #2 APPEARS] Any images and/or videos that support the content.[IMAGE #1 APPEARS] [BULLET #3 APPEARS] Narration.
