Designing Accessible & Inclusive Presentations for Corporate Learners
A 60-Minute Interactive Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT)
This presentation is a 60-minute, interactive VILT designed to help corporate presenters recognize common accessibility, visual, and cognitive barriers in slide design and apply practical “quick wins” to improve clarity, readability, and inclusion. The session blends awareness-building, real-time interaction, and hands-on application, while modeling accessible presentation practices throughout the experience
I designed the presentation end-to-end, translating accessibility principles into a clear, engaging learner experience. This included structuring the instructional flow, writing slide content, selecting visuals, designing interactive moments (chat, polls, breakout activities), and ensuring the presentation itself exemplified inclusive and accessible design best practices.
The presentation incorporates adult learning and inclusive design strategies, including:
Clear learning objectives and logical content progression
Built-in engagement (warm-up chat, live poll, breakout redesign activity)
Visual examples that contrast poor vs. improved slide design
Chunked content and “quick wins” to manage cognitive load
Real-time modeling of accessibility principles (contrast, hierarchy, language clarity, alt text)
These features ensure learners can immediately apply concepts during and after the session.
Learning is assessed through multiple formative and performance-based moments embedded in the presentation, including live polling, participant discussion, and a hands-on slide redesign challenge. Learners demonstrate understanding by identifying barriers, applying accessibility strategies, and explaining how their redesign choices improve comprehension and inclusion
This presentation equips teams with practical, immediately usable strategies to improve presentation quality at scale. By focusing on clarity and inclusion rather than compliance alone, the session supports improved learner engagement, reduced cognitive overload, and more effective knowledge sharing across diverse corporate audiences.
Designing Accessible & Inclusive Presentations for Corporate Learners
Facilitator Guide for a 60-Minute Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT)
This project is a fully developed facilitator guide supporting a 60-minute VILT designed to help corporate presenters identify accessibility and cognitive barriers in slide design and apply practical “quick wins” to improve clarity, comprehension, and inclusion. The guide supports consistent, high-quality facilitation across sessions while modeling accessible presentation practices throughout the learning experience.
I served as the instructional designer and experience architect, designing the learning experience end-to-end. This included defining learning objectives, structuring the session flow, scripting facilitator prompts, building engagement strategies, and creating detailed producer and facilitation notes to ensure smooth delivery, scalability, and instructional integrity.
The facilitator guide integrates adult learning principles, accessibility best practices, and virtual facilitation strategies, including:
Clearly sequenced session flow with timing and transition cues
Facilitator and producer roles to support confident delivery
Interactive elements (chat, polls, breakout rooms, redesign activity)
Accessibility-forward design modeling inclusive practices in real time
Built-in prompts to manage cognitive load and learner engagement
Evaluation is embedded throughout the session using formative checks (polls, chat responses, observation) and a hands-on redesign activity aligned to learning objectives. Facilitators are guided to assess learners’ ability to identify barriers, apply accessibility strategies, and explain how their redesign choices improve comprehension and inclusion.
This facilitator guide enables consistent delivery of an inclusive, practice-based learning experience at scale. It reduces facilitator cognitive load, increases confidence in virtual delivery, and supports organizational goals by improving presentation clarity, learner comprehension, and accessibility awareness across teams.
