Taking Your Slide Deck to the Next Level Content, Delivery, and Design

Quick Write What would you most like to improve about your presentations? What do you hope to get out of today’s session?

Creating (un)Engaging Content • This slide is an example of what we have come to typically expect from a PowerPoint presentation • There is a lot of text (small text) that conveys a lot of information • Plus we’ve got bullets • Presenters read line-by-line exactly what is on the slide • Students work furiously to copy the slide verbatim into their notes • It becomes the 21st century equivalent of the overhead projector • What’s going on for students cognitively while the presenter reads the notes and they copy?

The use of the PowerPoint presentation has been a disaster. It should be ditched. John Sweller, University of NSW

We read: Between 250 and 400 words per minute We can hear: About 150 to 160 words per minute We can speak: About 105 words per minute We can copy by hand: About 22 words per minute
