In this workshop, participants learn how to avoid the pitfalls of building slides that have too much information, take too long to process, and compete for audience attention. By understanding the limits of human visual and auditory language processing, participants learn how to work within them. This workshop teaches: 1) strategic PowerPoint skills that make slides easier to process and more cohesive, 2) how to control audience attention, and 3) how to best test key visuals before presenting.

 

Learning outcomes:

•     Create complementary visuals that aid rather than compete with comprehension
•     Use PowerPoint functionality to create more cohesive slides
•     Use PowerPoint functionality to better control audience focus
