Accessibility - turning Notes on and off

You can't turn notes off at the layer level, however you can for slides individually.

Here are a few ideas:

• Create duplicate slides with notes enabled. And link to them if someone enables notes. Of course this works fine for simple courses.
• You could create a fake side panel (by extending the slide dimensions and put notes on the slide/layer that will show on the slides. If you want to use a menu, I'd have it set to be a drop down menu so the course isn't super wide. 

Thank you, Tom.

Since the course is in Presenter, I wouldn't be using layers.

How does the user enable notes ? Where would you put the link?

I guess I should read the question. :)

You can fake the layers by creating a hyperlink to a duplicate slide that shows the notes content. You'd need to create a notes section.

Personally I'd do something like this with the default player.

• Change the menu to drop down
• Move the notes panel to the opposite side
• Keep it persistent
• With some adjustments to the player colors you can create an elegant looking player

Oh - so you're not using the notes feature in the player, but creating your own on the side...

No, in the image above, I am using the notes and player features. In that example, I'd keep the notes persistent.

I'll record a quick tutorial to show an alternate method. 

Here's a way to turn notes on and off at the slide level. It's more work and requires really thinking through the course navigation. But it looks nice.

Another option is to make the notes a drop down, but that blocks the screen content.

That's great - thank you, that's super helpful! Will you keep the link active for a couple of weeks (vacation starting in 5 minutes:))? Also, last question - how did you make the notes a drop-down option?

The link will remain.

When you go into the player features, you can select a feature and move it up or down the list to add it to the side or top bar.
