• At your table, compare notes
Handle your Audience

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
Leonardo da Vinci
Presentation Zen
Reduce text on slides to absolute minimum – Minimum 24 point font– Maximum 2 different fonts– Use upper and lower case– 6 words, on 6 lines
http://www.garrreynolds.com/Presentation/pdf/presentation_tips.pdf
One Main Idea Per Slide
If it’s complicated…
• break it up • into 2-3 different slides• assuming no side-by-side comparison is
needed
Activity
Critique the next slide:1. How many slides should it be?2. How’s the font?3. How many words should it be?4. How should you re-design it?
Practical Implications for Better PowerPoint Presentations
• Presentations must be both verbal & visual• Too much slide information overloads people’s
cognitive systems• Can your visuals be understood in 3 seconds?
If not, redesign them to support your talk• Slide design & delivery must help people
organize, integrate information

People Learn Better When…
How We Process Information
1. Through dual channels
2. With limited capacity
3. Actively!
Dual Channels
We have separate information processing channels– For visual material – For verbal material
Limited Capacity
People pay attention to • a few pieces of information • in each channel • at a time
Active Processing
People understand when they• pay attention to relevant material• organize it into a coherent mental
structure• integrate it with prior knowledge
Rich Mayer, in an interview with Sociable Media, Inc.
People Learn Better When…
Effects of Multimedia on Learning
• Modality Principle
• Redundancy Principle

Modality Principle
People learn better when…• words are presented as narration • NOT text!
Redundancy Principle
People learn better from…• Narration and graphics• NOT narration, graphics, and text
Coherence Principle
