BRING PRESENTATIONS TO LIFE WITH POWERPOINT LIVE

Accelerate Learning Microsoft 365 Inclusively Designed
Classrooms around the world contain students with very diverse abilities and
needs, and research shows that this diversity has increased in recent years. For
example, as of 2018 in the United States there were more than 5 million English
as a second language (ESL) learners, accounting for approximately 10.2% of the
total student population.1 According to some estimates, that percentage could
rise to 25% by 2025.2 Additionally, approximately 15% of all people in the U.S.
have a disability3, and as of the 2020-21 school year, more than 7.2 million
students received special education services.4 This highlights the importance of
designing learning tools that can help students, teachers, and parents learn,
understand, and communicate in ways that match their preferences and abilities.
Microsoft Education is committed to doing our part to help schools achieve the
UN Sustainable Development Goal #4, to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality
education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all,”5 and one way we
do that is by developing tools to reduce barriers to success for all learners.
The latest in our series of Accelerate Learning kits, “Real-Time Translation in
Live Presentations,” explores how artificial intelligence (AI) translation tools
can be used to provide equitable learning for ESL speakers, or anyone with
hearing or language processing difficulties. The translation feature available
when activating “Live Presentations” in the PowerPoint web app is just one of
many built-in features in Microsoft 365 for education that can benefit users of
all different experience levels and abilities.
We’ve written about several other features including:
* Using Live Captions in OneNote for more inclusive learning
* Help students become more confident speakers
* Checking for accessibility: boosting opportunity in 3 clicks!
POWERPOINT LIVE BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
One use for Real-Time Translation is to support ESL students as they become more
skilled with English. This is a great example of Microsoft’s commitment to AI
for Good — read on for more ways it can be used.
As a stand-alone feature, PowerPoint Live Presentations can bring your stories
to life and help everyone follow along and understand. Consider a
parent-teacher night or an in-person school curriculum event. The presenter can
generate a public Live Presentations link, and when attendees open this link
with their own devices, they’ll be able to see the presentation captioned in the
language of their choice, or view a transcript. They’ll also be able to navigate
back to previous slides they may have missed. With these features, everyone can
see, understand, and revisit any section of the presentation they’d like.
Distractions, poor acoustics or being far away from the speaker won’t prevent
them from listening and participating. The audience can also provide feedback to
the speaker at the close of the presentation with an automatic survey feature.
If you have Microsoft Teams available, you can go one step further with
PowerPoint Live in Teams. As a teacher or presenter, you get a unique view that
lets you control your presentation while staying engaged with your audience.
You’ll be able to see their cameras, raised hands, reactions, and chat
conversations. Using the cameo feature, you can insert a live camera view of
yourself directly into your slides, bringing your content to life.

Your students will be able to personalize their viewing experience with
captions, high-contrast slides, and slides translated into their native
language, without affecting anyone else.

HOW DOES POWERPOINT LIVE COMPARE TO THE COMPETITION?
The Accelerate Learning whitepaper highlights how presentation software like
Microsoft PowerPoint and Google Slides both offer ways to enable translation,
and compares the process of setting up and using each tool from the perspective
of the presenter and the audience. Both the Microsoft and Google versions allow
users to select from many different language options and see live audio
translated in real-time, but there are some key differences. For example,
PowerPoint Live Presentations provides built-in translation with just a few
clicks, but Google Slides does not.
Using Microsoft PowerPoint, teachers or other presenters can open and activate
Live Presentations, which generates a QR code for students to scan with a device
and choose their preferred language for translation.
When the presenter activates Live Presentations in PowerPoint, students can scan
the QR code and choose their preferred language.
Accessing translation on Google Slides requires students to open both a
presentation window and a translation window, and arrange them side-by-side to
see the presentation and translation concurrently. The need to manage multiple
windows or install a third-party add-on makes the process harder to manage,
which could require additional IT support and involvement, and could pose
student privacy risks.
CREATING A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS OF ALL BACKGROUNDS
Providing a simple, easy-to-use translation solution like Live Presentations in
Microsoft PowerPoint or PowerPoint Live in Microsoft Teams helps remove barriers
to learning and enables students of all linguistic backgrounds and comprehension
abilities to understand and participate in lessons in real-time. For more about
Real-Time Translation, read the comparative study, and visit the K-12 Blueprint
Learning Next page for whitepapers, abstracts, and infographics for this and
other Accelerate Learning topics.

EMPOWERING STUDENT LEARNING WITH MATH ASSISTANT
Math teachers, what if there was a way to help students who say “I’m not a math
person” or “I’m just not good at math”? When a student lacks math confidence,
every challenge along the way simply confirms their self-doubt. These challenges
only intensify as students move through their K-12 school experience and their
needs and the course content continue to evolve.

5 MICROSOFT EDUCATION TOOLS FOR AN INCLUSIVE CLASSROOM
An inclusive classroom is made up of many different learners with unique needs
and abilities, that want to feel they belong regardless of their identity,
learning preferences, or skills. According to the National Center for
Educational Statistics,15% of all U.S. public school students receive special
education services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

INCLUSIVE DESIGN FOR ACCESSIBLE LEARNING
On December 3rd, we celebrate International Day of Persons with Disabilities to
acknowledge the more than 1 billion people in the world with disabilities and
their roles as vibrant and valuable members of society. Considering that 1 in
