Do you share online the same slides that you used for your live presentation? Your online audience could be missing your message. Here is an easy solution that promotes great slide creation at the same time!
Slides I prepared for a training session with Political Economy students in 2005.
Quick facts:
- This was the first presentation I made using Keynote 2 (yes, the irony of using Keynote to teach people to use Powerpoint is not lost on me).
- The actual presentation used plenty of animations (cube in/cube out effects, etc.). This was when I was fond of using complex animations to "wow" the audience. Now, I prefer simple animations, sometimes even just slide transitions.
- This was the first presentation I made incorporating live hyperlinks from slide to slide.
- The idea for the layout was borrowed from the demo presentation accompanying iWork. I would use the navigation bar template as my "default" template in future presentations.

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.

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.

Power Point 7 Design Principles
1. 7 Ideas for Designing
a PowerPoint Presentation
PowerPoint is a powerful tool that can enhance any presentation, but it can easily become a distraction if not de-
signed well. The first and most basic principle of designing a strong presentation is “Keep it Simple”. It is also
important to remember that just because it’s there doesn’t mean you have to use it. PowerPoint offers a lot of
additional “fun” effects, but they aren’t always good design choices.
1. Your content should be simple and concise.
You don’t want your audience to read your presentation word for word. So use PowerPoint
to emphasize the main points of your presentation and display supplementary graphics and
visuals.
2. Choose an appropriate color scheme and/ or template design.
Let your content “reign”, don’t choose a flashy template, graphics or animation that will
smother your message. The background or template is where you’ll layout your text and im-
ages, choose a simple background and if you use a generic template use one that is relative
to your content and fits your audience. For example, if you are presenting to the
National Association of Law Students don’t choose the crayons template, choose a profes-
sional looking template. When you choose a template or color scheme consider the
environment that the presentation will be presented in. If you are giving a presentation in a
bright room then dark text on a light background works well. If you are projecting the pre-
sentation on a screen in a large room with dim lights choose a dark background and light
text. With the exception of photos and graphics limit your color scheme to 3-4 colors. A
standard approach would be a solid background color, a text color for the title and a text
color for the bullet points. Possibly a secondary color for the sub-points.
3. Keep the slide layout simple and allow plenty of space.
When laying out your slides think about heirarchy and what’s most import, emphasize the
most important elements with bold, underline and/ or larger text. Don’t crowd the slide,
space is good!! When using bullet points, don’t center the bullets, it makes them hard to
read. Limit the lines of text to about 6 - 8 lines per slide with a minimum of about 20pt type.
Always keep about a 1/4 to a 1/2 inch border of empty or “safe” space around the edge of
your slide. Different projectors and media present images differently, you don’t want to have
some of your text cut off.
4. Choose the right Font, Font, Font for your presentation.
It is most important to be consistent. Don’t use more than one or two fonts in a presenta-
tion. Your variety and emphasis comes in choosing bold, normal, italics and underline. You
can choose either a Sans-serif or a Serif font. A Sans-serif font is a basic font that is unified
in size and does not have “feet” or decorations, like Arial, Gill Sans and Verdana. A Serif font
is more decorative, the width or size of the stroke of the letter may vary and it has “feet” or
“hooks” on the corners, like Times New Roman and Garamond. Sans-serif font is easiest to read
when there is a lot of text. Consider using a Sans-serif, for the whole presentation or try a
serif font for all of the titles and a sans-serif font for all of the text or bullet points.

2. 7 Ideas for Designing a PowerPoint Presentation
5. Type size and other attributes have a great impact on legibility.
The text size is dependant on your presenation mode, if you are posting the presentation on
the web your text can be slightly smaller. In general don’t make your type any smaller than
22pt. I’ve found that 36 - 44pt headers/ titles and 24 - 36pt bullet points/ text are a decent
and legible size for presenting on a large screen. Choose Colors that work well with your
background color. In general never use more than 3 colors of text per slide. A good approach
is to choose one color for your headers/ title and another color for your bullet points/ text
and possibly a third color for secondary points.
6. Graphics and Photos can make or break your presentation.
Use graphics or photos that directly relate to your presentation. Limit the amount of graphics
or photos in your presentation so that they are not a distraction. Do not use more than one
or two images on a slide. Be careful of clip art; choose clip art that serves a purpose in your
presentation and that fits your audience. Consider the style of clip art and how it works with
your presentation style. Lots of clip art in various styles may be a distraction.
Keep your clipart and photos in proportion. If you scale the image, make sure you click the
picture then hold down the shift key while dragging the image to the size you want.
Remember also that the more photos and clip art you use in a presentation the larger your
file size will be. Compress your images to help with file size, but be sure to check the images
on the large screen to make sure you haven’t lost the quality of the image.
Try to avoid running text over a graphic or image. This is usally hard to read and creates a
distraction.
7. Animation can enhance a presentation if used in moderation.
PowerPoint gives you a couple of animation options; you can apply a transition or anima-
tion to all slides and/ or you can add custom animation to any object in the presentation. Be
consistent throughout your presentation. Pick one transition to apply to all slides or don’t use
a transition. If you choose to use custom animation, pick a simple animation scheme and be
consistent. For example, if you decide that all images will fade in on mouse click then use
that throughout the whole presentation. Random animation can make your presentation look
unprofessional and distract your audience. In addition you can insert animated images onto
a slide. Animated clip art and images are often a distraction and draw attention away from
the main points of your prentation. Only use animation if it serves a direct purpose in your
presentation, such as, teaching or explaining a concept.
These seven ideas can guide you towards designing a professional presentation. There are
exceptions to the do’s and don’ts suggested here, but if you begin with these basic guidelines
you’ll master the ability to determine when it’s apropriate to go against them.
