A pdf of the slideshow: THIS.

Let me know if you would like the original slideshow to repurpose.

I'm sharing this slideshow today, in case anyone wants a review of Mayer's synthesis of instructional-design tips for teams that include both writers and graphic designers, but I'm working on an adaptation, as Mayer's approach doesn't always serve accessibility needs well. If ideas come to mind about making presentations more accessible, drop a comment please.
