Designing Effective Presentation Using Power Point

Write a clear headline that explains the main idea of every slidePeople learn better when the material is organized with clear outlines and headings.

The Signaling Principle

Break up your story into digestible bites in the Slide Sorter view.People learn better when information is presented in bite-size segments

The Segmenting Principle

Reduce visual load by moving text off-screen and narrating the content.People understand a multimedia explanation better when the words are presented as narration rather than on-screen text.

The Modality Principle

Use visuals with your words, instead of words alone.People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone.

The Multimedia Principle

Rigorously remove every element that does not support the main idea.People learn better when extraneous material is excluded rather than included.

The Coherence Principle

Some Final Words

Communication is the key Text to support the communication Pictures to simplify complex concepts Animations for complex relationships Visuals to support, not to distract Sounds only when absolutely

necessary
