Presentations: 5 Key Elements
Planning
Looking at audience, purpose, main message, key points, and measurability (Analog or digital? It's up to you) Delivery Looking at body language - gestures, posture & movement, eye contact ratios, voice, and facial expressions posture is key. Be open. Use emphatic and descriptive gestures. Microphones take away your ability to do this so use a lapel pin device. Yes, you've heard it before but EYE CONTACT is essential Structure Looking at segmentation theory & multimodal content, dopamine effect, attraction and retention of audience attention. Group things in threes. Makes it easier for your audience to internalize Design Looking at style, PSE (below), CRAP (Poster on the right below), and accessibility theories Create Giving a brief overview of software types and tool usage Content: Easy to follow. USE DOPAMINE: Get an emotion just before your MAIN POINT and the dopamine release raises short term memory for a short interval |

Segmentation Theory states that: After 9 minutes you lose people's interest
PSE Slides: Picture Superiority Effect Too much information on your slides and your audience will be unconsciously searching for meaning from them at the expense of paying attention to you 1 slide 1 point This helps increase the cognitive processing times of your adience Copyright is great and an important element adding to your credibility BUT you should NOT put the cc reference on your slides as it is a distraction reducing the impact of your slides. Put citations on the last slide. Recipe for the WOW Factor
