PowerPoint is a presentation software package. With PowerPoint, you can easily create slide shows. Trainers and other presenters use slide shows to illustrate their presentations.
Creating Effective PowerPoint® Presentations
Microsoft® PowerPoint® is a tool for creating dynamic oral presentations. An effective PowerPoint® presentation has maximum impact on an audience in minimal time. If you have been assigned a PowerPoint® in addition to an essay or instead of an essay, here are the key similarities [+] and differences [x] between these two forms:
Table 1
Elements of an Essay and a PowerPoint Presentation
Elements
Essay
PowerPoint®
Design
x Text-based, regular black font, one inch margins, double spacing
+ Visual design: color, theme, and layout options; art and multimedia options
Title
+ Title page
+ Title slide
Introduction
+ Topic, issue, thesis statement
+ Slide title (topic); key points
Body
+ Paragraphs featuring one point each
+ Slides featuring one point each
Conclusion
+ Recap of main point, final thoughts
+ Slide listing recap of main points
Paragraphs
+ Unified and cohesive paragraphs with topic and concluding sentences
x Unordered (bulleted) lists or a captioned image to convey key points
Sentences
Complete sentences
x One-line fragments; unordered list (bullet points).
Lists
x Occasionally used to separate elements in a sentence.
+Lists are the building blocks of a PowerPoint®.
Visuals/art
+ Tables, charts, and graphs display data and research results and make a paper visually appealing.
+ Images, art, tables, charts, and graphs increase the impact and visual appeal of a presentation.
In-text citations
+ Quotes, paraphrases, summaries, and visuals require in-text citations.
+ Quotes, paraphrases, and summaries, and visuals require in-text citations.
Reference list
+ Last page lists full-citation references.
+ Last slide lists full-citation references
GETTING STARTED WITH SLIDES
Similar to drafting an essay, when creating a PowerPoint®, you need to define your topic and focus, determine your audience, and know your purpose--whether you are informing, educating, entertaining, or persuading.
Another essential step that takes as much time when creating a PowerPoint® as it does when writing an essay is to research your subject matter and prewrite your ideas. A next step is to make an informal outline to organize your ideas and establish a clear beginning middle and end. With the groundwork complete and content prepared, you are ready to create Slide 1.
Slide 1
1. New presentations begin with a title slide. Follow the directions given in the text placeholders beginning with “click to add title” (Figure 2).
2. Then, in the next box, add your subtitle. You may also use this area to provide your name and the university name per APA guidelines or any other information required on your title slide.
3. Since a PowerPoint® accompanies an oral presentation, you may want to add speaker notes in the notes pane to elaborate on the points on each slide.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

24. Create your first presentation
Choose a theme, add more content
As a color scheme for
your
presentation, basic
black will do the job.
But how about when
you’re in the mood for
more color and a
vibrant design?
Go straight to the PowerPoint themes gallery and try
out what’s there. Choosing a theme is no harder than
flipping a switch.
You can also put other elements on your slides, such
as pictures and captions, then handily align them so
that everything is neatly arranged.
25. Create your first presentation
The beauty of themes
Every presentation
has a theme.
Some are just more
colorful than others.
The theme determines the look and colors of your slides
and gives your presentation a consistent appearance.
Here, you see three title slides that have the same
content but that use different themes.
26. Create your first presentation
The beauty of themes
Every presentation
has a theme.
Some are just more
colorful than others.
A theme includes these elements, offered as a package:
• Background design
• Color scheme
• Font types and sizes
• Placeholder positions
27. Create your first presentation
The beauty of themes
The color scheme
affects background
colors, font colors, fill
colors for
shapes, border
colors, hyperlinks, and
slide elements like
tables and charts.
And if you have placeholders, the theme honors the
layout you’ve chosen; it just moves things around a little.
28. Create your first presentation

also available on the Insert tab, plus more—including
shapes, hyperlinks, text boxes, headers and footers, and
media clips such as sounds.
34. Create your first presentation
Insert pictures and things, part 2
The picture shows the
array of things
available on the Insert
tab.
A typical thing to insert
is a text box, as
shown.

Text boxes are handy when you want to add text
somewhere and need another placeholder for it, such as
for a picture caption. On the Insert tab, click Text Box.
Draw the box on the slide and type in it.
35. Create your first presentation
Insert pictures and things, part 2
What’s the better
method?
Since you have two
choices for how to
insert some
things, which one is
recommended?
It mostly comes down to what you find handiest. One
thing to consider is how you want the inserted item to be
positioned on the slide.
36. Create your first presentation
Edit slide elements
After inserting a
picture, you may want
to make adjustments
such as
resizing, cropping, or
changing the
brightness.
Use Picture Tools for
this.
1
2
So, select the picture.
Picture Tools appear above the Ribbon. Use options on
the Format tab to work with the picture.
Picture Tools are available when the picture is selected.
37. Create your first presentation
Edit slide elements
There are tools for the
range of things you
can insert, from
tables, charts, and
SmartArt™ graphics to
text boxes and
shapes, sounds, and
videos.
Just select the inserted item to see the relevant tab on
the Ribbon.
38. Create your first presentation
Arrange slide elements
Once you’ve put all
the things that you
want on the slide, you
need to align them so
they look just right.
For example, in this picture, the text box with the caption
will look best once it’s aligned evenly with the picture—
either flush left, or correctly centered.
39. Create your first presentation
Arrange slide elements
You use the Arrange
commands to align
slide elements.
