31. SCRIPT WRITING

32. Format of e-content
 Make your one or two web pages an outline of your e-
content
 Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the e-
content
 Use the titles of each web page as main points

33. Structure – Good
 Write in point form, not complete sentences
 Include 4-5 points per Web page
 Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only

34. Slide Structure - Bad
 This page contains too many words for a presentation
slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult
both for your audience to read and for you to present
each point. Although there are exactly the same number
of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much
more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too
much time trying to read this paragraph instead of
listening to you.

35. Structure – Good
 Show one point at a time:
 Will help learner concentrate on what you are saying
 Will prevent learner from reading ahead
 Will help you keep your e-content focused

36. Structure - Bad
 Do not use distracting animation
 Do not go overboard with the animation
 Be consistent with the animation that you use

37. Background – Bad
 Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read
from
 Always be consistent with the background that you use

38. Fonts - Good
 Use at least an 12-point font
 Use different size fonts for main points and secondary
points
 this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and the
title font is 36-point
 Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial

39. Fonts - Bad
 If you use a small font, your learner won’t be able to read what you have written
 CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT
TO READ
 Don’t use a complicated font

40. Color - Good
 Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with the
background
 Ex: blue font on white background
 Use color to reinforce the logic of your structure
 Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
 Use color to emphasize a point
 But only use this occasionally

41. Colour - Bad
 Using a font colour that does not contrast with the
background colour is hard to read
 Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying.
 Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary
 Using a different colour for secondary points is also
unnecessary
 Trying to be creative can also be bad

42. Background - Good
 Use backgrounds such as this one that are attractive but
simple
 Use backgrounds which are light
 Use the same background consistently throughout your
e-content

43. Graphs - Bad

Blue Balls 20.4 27.4 90 20.4
Red Balls 30.6 38.6 34.6 31.6

45. Spelling and Grammar
 Proof your e-content for:
 speling mistakes
 the use of of repeated words
 grammatical errors you might have make
 If English is not your first language, please have
someone else check your presentation!
