The presentation was designed based on Garr Reynolds' 2010 Presentation Zen Design book and Alexei Kapterev's presentation with the same name. It served to compile simple rules for frequent PowerPoint users and a little guide on how to use PPT effectively with minimal effort. Creating this presentation also supported my social learning through first observing, then imitating what others have done and hopefully I will now be able to apply my new knowledge to other projects. Thanks to the inspiration, Garr and Alexei.
Seven Triggers To Breakthrough CompaniesJustin Beck
Any Company Can Launch a Startup. Startups think big and move fast. Your company can be any size and still think like a startup. Consistent breakthroughs are not accidents. Just look at Apple and Google. They are a part of the strategy, part of the process and certainly part of the culture of companies that continually achieve them. The Seven Triggers to Breakthrough Companies is your playbook to launch a startup culture inside your company.
One of the best books I have read this year is Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School. The applications for presentation are many. This is a book review of sorts, though I do not highlight all aspects of the book. I focus on the three rules that relate most directly, though all the rules have lessons. Just a fantastic book.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
Death by PowerPoint has become so common that is already “normal”.
Most of you might be familiar with slides like this where the presenter tries to put every word on a slide and then read it to the audience...
... Other feel that there is a need for structure on a slide and use bullet points to make data more “visual”...
By that time you are already at the stage where you can barely keep your eyes open. Then the presenter has already thought about using some figures and colours to visualise data better…
...and uses an Excel sheet with numbers in color codes….
...by that time you don't even notice the language of the text anymore because...
… you have already left to Dreamland.
The main question here is: Who is the presenter? Is it PowerPoint [Pause] or is it you?
YES, it is you!
Powerpoint should be used <Click> to visualize data, <Click> to create key points <Click> …
To impress
You probably ask yourself: How can I do that? I am not a designer! You do not need to be a designer to use Powerpoint more effectively and visually. All you need is…
Simplicity!
Albert Einstein said already: “Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler. “ Simplicity is the magic word. Keep it simple.
“Well, that is a good advise but How?”
I want to introduce you to 4 simple design rules that will help you to pimp-up your slides
Rule number 1
Only use one point per slide. Why do we try to fit in 10 points into 1 single slide?
How much does an extra slide cost? <Click> Nothing – so you can use as many as you want...forget the 2-minutes-per-slide rule.
Rule number 2
Just use a few matching colours. <Click> To many colours and not matching colours can confuse and hurt the eye. <Click> It makes it very difficult for your audience to look at certain colour combinations. <Click> Why not keeping it simple? The audience can concentrate longer as their eyes will not hurt or only have to get used to a few colours.
Rule number 3
Only use very few fonts. <Click> the designer and author Rick Poynor says: “Typefaces express a mood, an atmosphere. They give words a certain coloring.” Using many typefaces can distract the audience from focusing. <Click> Therefore, if you want to use more than one typeface or font, just use two - one for the heading and one for the text and play around with the tints of the colour and the size.
Rule number 4
Use Photos instead of cliparts. We don’t pay attention to boring things and cliparts are boring and do not impress your audience. <Click>
Use photos as we have better recall for visual information…
And to impress your audience make it big! You want to reach the last row in the room and they should also be impressed.
Do you have
So remember! <Click> First rule: Only use one point per slide <Click> Second rule: Use few matching colors<Click> Third rule: use very few fonts <Click> and fourth rule: Use photos instead of cliparts.
Death-by-Powerpoint is so common that is just considered normal.
