Any linked resource in a course / learning experience must be fully accessible to learners if it is required for the learner to use the content to complete the course.
All PowerPoints and Google Slides will be built with accessibility in mind, ensuring that slides have unique titles, the reading order is logical, animations will be used with purpose, and checked for accessibility with the built-in accessibility tool.
Developers will use the Grackle Docs add-on in Google Docs to check the accessibility of any and all documents that will be exported as PDF documents for learner consumption.
If developers need to export a PDF from Google Docs, they will do so using the Grackle Docs add-on instead of the native export options found in the File menu in Google Docs.
