This document provides tips and instructions for using a PowerPoint presentation (PPT) for active learning sessions on medical topics. The key points are:
- Slides can be freely edited, modified and personalized.
- Many slides will be intentionally blank except for the title to prompt student discussion of that topic.
- The instructor should first show the blank slides to elicit student feedback before presenting information on subsequent slides.
- This process repeats to reinforce learning over three revisions of the material.
- The PPT can also be used for self-study.
- Bibliographic references are included in the notes section.
