Presentation Design:
Strategies That Make a
Difference
Worried that your presentations are not
communicating the message you wish to convey?
Concerned that you are teetering on the verge of a
“Death by PowerPoint” scenario when you design
new slideshows for your class or for a conference?
Or, simply interested in finding ways to enhance
your slideshows so they are more useful to you
and your students? Join us for this session on
Presentation Design: Strategies that Make a
Difference. In this session we will explore simple
modifications to slide and slideshow design that
can help you achieve a clearer and more engaging
presentation, as well as other non-slide design
considerations related to presentation delivery that
can add relevance and value. This session is
designed for educators, but may also assist you
when you are helping your students design and
delivery effective presentations to an audience.
