Fifteen minutes into the presentation, you lift your heavy lids and rub your eyes in disbelief …
“Slide 2 of 96”
Is there anything worse than an interminably long, blandly presented, poorly designed PowerPoint?
From the classroom to the boardroom, bad PowerPoint has become the bane of audiences’ existence.
But it doesn’t have to be. Done right, PowerPoint presentations can be engaging, dynamic, valuable additions to your teaching repertoire.
Want to know the secrets of good PowerPoint? You’ll get them in an information-packed online seminar coming July 23. You’ll also learn something more … how to use those top-notch presentations not just in the traditional classroom, but in the online classroom, as well!
In Enhancing PowerPoint for the Online Classroom and Beyond, marketing consultant and founder of CONNECTINGDOTS, Paul J. Gibler, will show you how to avoid common mistakes in PowerPoint and instead create presentations that enliven your classroom and strengthen student learning. He’ll also show you how to use the latest tools to bring your PowerPoints online.
During the first segment of this 75-minute presentation, you’ll learn about the fundamental design principles that determine presentation quality: contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity. You’ll also see how to make best use of background, color, text and images, and get important tips on:
• Simplifying templates.
• Creating meaningful charts.
• Selecting appropriate fonts.
• Choosing the right images.
• Using bullets judiciously.
• And much, much more.
It’s a fast-paced, idea-filled look at the “do’s and don’ts” of PowerPoint!
Next, you’ll review the latest tools for easily bringing your presentations online. See how SlideShare, Camptasia, GoView and others can help you seamlessly and quickly transfer your PowerPoints to your online classes. You’ll even discover how to integrate them into learning systems like D2L!
Includes a Q&A session, too!
If you have questions about the best way to use PowerPoint, feel free to submit them to the presenter during this live, interactive seminar, for discussion during a dedicated Q&A session. It’s an excellent opportunity to get some expert advice, and hear from other attendees on campuses nationwide.
Tight budget? Here’s great news …
Online seminars make great economic sense, especially in these difficult times. The fee for the PowerPoint seminar just $244 … and unlike off-campus programs, you’ll pay nothing for travel expenses, meals, lodging, etc. What’s more, the fee applies per site; that means you can invite others from your campus to join you for the presentation, and you won’t pay a penny more. Share the presentation with anyone you like; simply sign on from a facility large enough to accommodate your group. You’ll get tremendous bang for your buck!
Who should attend:
• Professors
• Assistant Professors
• Associate Professors
• Instructors
• Lecturers
• Marketing Managers
Take full advantage of PowerPoint’s potential as a dynamic, engaging learning tool. Learn the secrets of effective design … and learn how to bring your presentations online. Don’t miss this valuable seminar!
