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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
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.
"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.

2. Presentation Guidelines
The key to a good presentation is developing well
organized, clear, and professional looking slides.
Slide layout, font, color scheme, and slide content
are the main components to developing a great
presentation.
Use no more than six bullet points per slide.
3. Minimize the number of fonts used in your
presentation.
Keep font sizes consistent.
Don’t type in all caps.
Keep bullet points short and to the point.
Incomplete sentences are OK.
For contrast, use a light colored font on a
dark background and vice versa.
Use bold formatting to make appropriate
words stand out.
4. •Minimize use of italics. They are more
difficult to read.
•Do not vary the look of one slide greatly
from the next.
• Consistency is the key.
• Keep it simple.
5. Keep your objects Big.
Make your information Clear.
Limit the number of slides
3 slides per minute is the
maximum
6. Run your presentation from a hard disk rather
than from removable media.
Communication is the key.
Use Text to support the communication.
Use Pictures to simplify complex concepts.
Use Animations for complex relationships.
Use Visuals to support, not to distract.
Use Sounds only when absolutely necessary.
7. Practice moving between slides.
Don’t read from your slides.
Don’t speak to your slides.
Be prepared for technical difficulties
Avoid the use of flashy transitions.
8. There are three options to create a new
presentation:
1. AutoContent Wizard
2. Design Template
3. Blank Presentation

overwhelm viewers.
• Select contrasting colors for slide text and the slide
background to make the text easier for your audience to
see and read.
• Select complementary colors to make your color
combinations aesthetically pleasing – contrast a
secondary color (a color created by mixing two primary
colors) with the third (complementary) primary color.
12. Complementary Colors
The following list describes the three secondary
colors and their complementary primary colors:
Purple (blue and red) goes with yellow.
Green (yellow and blue) goes with red.
Orange (yellow and red) goes with blue.
16. Make sure there is high contrast between the background and
text.
Text is in the following options: “Text and lines”, Title text“, “Accent
and hyperlink”
and “Accent and followed hyperlink”. Avoid red and red and green
combinations
on screen as some color blind users cannot see it.
