4. Making PowerPoint Slides Avoiding the Pitfalls of Bad Slides

5. Tips to be Covered Outlines Slide Structure Fonts Colour Background Graphs Spelling and Grammar Conclusions Questions

6. Outline Make your 1 st or 2 nd slide an outline of your presentation –Ex: previous slide Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation Only place main points on the outline slide –Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points

7. Slide Structure – Good Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation Write in point form, not complete sentences Include 4-5 points per slide Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only

8. Slide Structure - Bad This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

9. The 666 rule for simplicity in design: No more than 6 words per bullet 6 bullets per image 6 word slides in a row

10. Slide Structure – Good Show one point at a time: –Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying –Will prevent audience from reading ahead –Will help you keep your presentation focused

11. Slide Structure - Bad Do not use distracting animation Do not go overboard with the animation Be consistent with the animation that you use

12. Fonts - Good Use at least an 18-point font Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points –this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and the title font is 36-point Use a standard font like Arial

13. Fonts - Bad If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written CAPITALISE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ Don’t use a complicated font

14. Colour - Good Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with the background –Ex: blue font on white background Use colour to reinforce the logic of your structure –Ex: light blue title and dark blue text Use colour to emphasize a point –But only use this occasionally

15. Colour - Bad Using a font colour that does not contrast with the background colour is hard to read Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying. Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary –Using a different colour for secondary points is also unnecessary Trying to be creative can also be bad

16. Background - Good Use backgrounds that are attractive but simple Use backgrounds which are light or dark Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation

17. Background – Bad Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from Always be consistent with the background that you use

18. Don’t Use Pictures As Backgrounds Because now the audience is looking at the picture and not the words!

19. Figures - Good Use graphs rather than just tables and words –Data in graphs are easier to comprehend & retain than raw data –Trends are easier to visualize in graph form Always title your graphs

20. Figures - Bad

22. Graphs - Good

23. Graphs - Bad

24. Minor gridlines are unnecessary Font is too small Colours are illogical Title is missing Shading is distracting

25. Talking About Graphs and Figures Outline the object Introduce it Explain axes Explain findings Give time for the audience to take it in

26. Heart Rate Response to Public Speaking Exposures

27. Spelling and Grammar Proof your slides for: –speling mistakes –the use of of repeated words –grammatical errors you might have make If English is not your first language, please have someone else check your presentation!

28. Conclusion Use an effective and strong closing –Your audience is likely to remember your last words Use a conclusion slide to: –Summarize the main points of your presentation –Suggest future avenues of research or leaning

29. Questions?? End your presentation with a simple question slide to: –Invite your audience to ask questions –Provide a visual aid during question period –Avoid ending a presentation abruptly

30. How to Present a Presentation Pitfalls, and preventing ‘death by PowerPoint’

31. Strategic Choices: Factors affecting the Purpose of a message What do you know about the topic? The Authority of the Listeners or Their Capacity to Act.

33. Factors affecting the Purpose of a message The Nature of the Presentation. –What is appropriate for this occasion? –The Time Limits of the Speech. –What’s possible within the time or space that you have?

34. Create a Thesis An single idea or ‘take home message’ –Something the audience should remember

35. Level of Communication Who are your audience? What do they know? What do you need to tell them? How will you do this?

36. Types of Communication Lecturing or talking? Asking questions –Getting answers Inviting questions –Interaction

41. Summary Follow rules for generating presentation slides Identify goals, knowing audience Presenting well Good slides can = good presentation? Well rehearsed slides = good presentation

42. Exercise: In groups of 3 Choose a patient education topic in CR. Create a 6-min presentation –4-5 slides Version one must contain two common pitfalls –One pitfall in design –One pitfall in delivery Version two must be ‘perfect’

43.
