Using the Assertion-Evidence Model to Make Your Point

At the End of the Presentation……

You Will Be Able To: • Explain how to minimize cognitive overload in

presentations• Construct Assertion-Evidence Slides

Roadmap

1. Traits of Good and Bad uses for presentation slides (5 minutes)

2. Working Memory and How it Relates to Presentations (10 minutes)

3. Developing Assertion-Evidence Model Presentations (15 minutes)

Small Group Brainstorm

• WHAT DOES “DEATH BY POWERPOINT” LOOK LIKE? (2 minutes)– At your tables, come up with a list of traits of

“good” uses of PowerPoint as well as traits of “bad” uses of PowerPoint.

Large Group Discussion

• What is Working Memory?

Objective 1 Roadmap: 2

Working Memory

• Working memory is the system that holds and processes new information as information comes in through your senses. A common model of working memory includes four components: – Phonological Loop– Visuo-spatial Sketchpad– Episodic Buffer– Central Executive

Objective 1 Roadmap: 2

Working Memory

How did you process that slide? A. Read the text and tuned out what I was sayingB. Ignored the text and listened to meC. Read the text faster than I did and then tuned outD. Read the text faster than I did and then tried to

tune into what I was saying

Write down your answer on a scrap of paper. We will come back to it in a few minutes.

Think-Pair-Share

• What’s Wrong With These Slides? – Your handout has two slides on it. Come up with

two things for each slide that would improve them. (2 minutes)

Objective 1 Roadmap: 2

DOs and DON’Ts1. PowerPoint slides should have both visual and verbal components, presenting

complementary information in both word and picture form in order to take advantage of the way our brains process information.

2. Filling the slides up with information will do nothing but overload an audience member’s cognitive system. Presenters must take into consideration the limited capacity of the human mind to take in and retain information at one time.

3. A presentation should help the audience select, organize and integrate the presented information by containing only the most relevant information in a way that is well organized and easy for the audience to integrate with their prior knowledge.

4. The Signaling Strategy: People Learn Better When the Material is Organized with Clear Outlines and Headings

5. The Segmentation Principle: People Learn Better When Information is Presented in Bite-Sized Segments

6. The Modality Principle: People Understand a Multimedia Explanation Better When the Words are Presented as Narration Rather than On-Screen Text

7. The Multimedia Strategy: People Learn Better from Words and Pictures than from Words Alone

8. The Coherence Principle: People Learn Better When Extraneous Material is Excluded Rather Than Included
