This document provides tips for improving PowerPoint presentations. It recommends limiting slides to avoid losing participants' attention, outlining key points before creating the presentation, using bullet points instead of paragraphs for easier reading, employing a formal design with readable fonts and colors, including occasional videos or audio to illustrate concepts, sparingly using images to avoid clutter, and incorporating graphs and charts to clearly convey numbers. It also stresses that PowerPoint alone is not enough - presenters must couple it with detailed explanations and discussion to fully communicate the message and create a learning environment.

1. Tips for Improving PPT (Power Point Presentation)-
PPT aids in conveying the message with more clarity to the participants. Presenting the PPT without
any proper flow would leave the participants in a confused state missing out the message
completely. When properly structured it enables the participants to connect more readily. Following
tips would come handy before you are all set to run a PPT-
 The first and fore most important point that needs to be taken care- is to limit the number
of slides. Too many slides would not capture the attention of the participants.
 Write down on a paper what points you wish to cover in the session before you actually start
preparing for the PPT.
 Don’t dump everything in the slides. Always limit yourself to the main headings which later
needs to be explained in detail in the class.
 Avoid writing paragraphs. It’s advisable to use bullet points or short sentences .It’s easy for
the participants to read and retain it.
 Make sure that the design of the PPT is very formal. Avoid using bright flashy colours and too
much of graphics. The font, text should be readable and the alignment should be uniform
throughout the PPT.
 Use a video or an audio in between to illustrate an example or process. This would bring
back the attention of the participants
 Use of image creates a good impression but it should not be used on each and every slide
making it look cumbersome.
 Graphs and charts can be used to explain the numbers which needs to be highlighted to
make the participants understand better.
Apart from these tips, the presenter should mind that PPT conveys only half the message until it
is coupled with detailed explanation and further discussion on the topic. Mere presenting the
PPT would never create a learning atmosphere.
