Why Use Visual Aids?
Of the information that is remembered:
• 85% is through seeing
• 11% is through hearing
• 4% is through the other senses
Researchers have found that:
• Only 10% of presentation is remembered
• Increases to 50% if visual aids are used
• 70% if both visual aids and participation is used
The Trouble with Visual Aids
Many people simply put too much information into a visual
aid and then compound the situation by saying something
like ‘you probably can’t read this’ and then trying to talk
through an awkward description of what is on the screen.
The other problem is that people will automatically read
anything that is put in front of them. So if they spot
something on the slide that mentions something unrelated
to the presentation, e.g. ‘your flies are undone’ (admittedly
this doesn’t come up in a presentation that often) people stop
thinking about what the speaker is saying and their mind
drifts away to this new topic. To test this, we predict that
most men will check that they are properly dressed
within the next fifteen minutes.
Tips on using Visual Aids
• Use simple words, short bullet points
• Remember space = Legibility
• Large typeface is easier to read
• Pictures enhance the visuals
Presentation Style
• Good posture - open hand and arm
movements
• Control of distracting mannerisms
• Eye contact with all the audience
• Voice - good speed, pace, tone, pitch
and varied modulation
• Energy and enthusiasm
• Controlling nerves
Summary
• 8 qualities of an effective presenter
• How to plan a presentation
• Take your audience into consideration
• Understand objectives
• Attention grabbers!
• Tips on visual aids
• Your presentation style
