CVP Accessibility & Inclusive Presentation Design 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the primary purpose of providing closed captions during a virtual presentation?
- To allow viewers to mute their audio without missing content
- To make content accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing participants (Correct answer)
- To improve search engine indexing of recorded sessions
- To satisfy legal recording disclosure requirements
Correct answer: To make content accessible for deaf and hard-of-hearing participants
Closed captions are a core accessibility accommodation that enables deaf and hard-of-hearing participants to access spoken presentation content in text form.
Question 2: According to WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines, what is the minimum contrast ratio required between normal body text and its background?
- 2.5:1
- 3:1
- 4.5:1 (Correct answer)
- 7:1
Correct answer: 4.5:1
WCAG 2.1 Level AA requires a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text to ensure readability for users with low vision or color deficiencies.
Question 3: What does 'alt text' (alternative text) provide when added to images in virtual presentation slides?
- A caption displayed below the image for all viewers
- A text description read aloud by screen readers for visually impaired participants (Correct answer)
- An SEO-friendly label that improves content discoverability
- A fallback image that loads when the original fails to render
Correct answer: A text description read aloud by screen readers for visually impaired participants
Alt text is read by screen readers to convey the meaning of images to participants who are blind or have low vision.
Question 4: When creating slides for an audience that may include color-blind participants, which design practice is most important?
- Using only grayscale colors throughout the presentation
- Avoiding any use of charts or graphs
- Never using text on a colored background
- Conveying information through shape or pattern in addition to color (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Conveying information through shape or pattern in addition to color
Relying on color alone to convey meaning excludes color-blind participants; adding shape, pattern, or text labels ensures information is accessible regardless of color perception.
Question 5: What is the generally recommended minimum font size for body text on accessible presentation slides?
- 10 pt
- 18 pt
- 24 pt (Correct answer)
- 32 pt
Correct answer: 24 pt
A minimum of 24 pt for body text is widely recommended for virtual presentations to ensure readability across varying screen sizes and viewing distances.
Question 6: During a large virtual event, a sign language interpreter window is displayed on screen. What best practice should the presenter follow?
- Keep slides full-screen to avoid splitting viewer attention
- Pause all visual animations while the interpreter is visible
- Ensure the interpreter window remains consistently visible and unobstructed (Correct answer)
- Limit interpreter use to the Q&A portion of the session
Correct answer: Ensure the interpreter window remains consistently visible and unobstructed
The interpreter window must remain visible and unobstructed throughout the session so deaf participants who use sign language can continuously access the content.
Question 7: Which accessibility feature helps participants who cannot use a mouse navigate virtual meeting platform controls?
- Screen magnification
- Keyboard-only navigation support (Correct answer)
- Text-to-speech output
- High-contrast display mode
Correct answer: Keyboard-only navigation support
Keyboard-only navigation allows participants with motor impairments who cannot use a mouse to access all platform controls using only keyboard input.
