Best Practices for Preparing Slides
D
 Prep the Powerpoint. Remove animations, overly complicated designs. Your slides become snapshots.
 Use a layout that includes the Title field, and your slides will be named appropriately after importing into
Collaborate.
 Build in Welcome slides with explicit protocols (getting attention, Audio Setup Wizard, etc.) and ice-breakers
 Build in slides for reflection (ask questions that focus on summarization, evaluation, & application) Example:
“In your own career, how can you apply what we’ve just learned?”
 Ensure that all instances of the Powerpoint application are closed whenever Loading Content.

D
Best Practices for Presenting
 Only Moderators are able to load content. Right-click participants to give them Moderator privileges. Rightclick them again to take away Moderator privileges.
 If multiple Moderators will be loading slides, use the
Show Participant Page Names feature of the
Whiteboard to help organize slides.
 Use the Pointer tool to focus attention
 Use the Headline tool instead of the Textbox tool
 Copy-and-paste text & images on the fly
 Remember to check the Whiteboard permission for participants
