According to Conroy stated that there were three components that should be emphasized in your presentation: good content, skill in presenting the content, and effective use of support tools.

What kinds of resources that we have to include in presentation? Audiovisual materials!!! Audiovisual materials are combination of sound and image linked by a theme. They can add impact and interest to a presentation and increase the audience’s understanding and retention level.
Because these kinds of resources that can really help presenters provide emphasis to audience, multiply audience’s understanding of the material presented, reinforce impression, create excitement, and so forth.

There are many ways in which audiovisual resources can be utilized.
