What are the main outcomes | In addition to the survey results I intend to outline research on multi-media learning and cognitive overload carried out by Richard Mayer (2001) and implications for presentations. Finally, I will outline and demonstrate various alternative approaches to using Powerpoint including the ‘storyboard’ approach which uses only titles, graphics and the ‘notes’ pane (in the Powerpoint interface) as described by Cliff Atkinson (2005) and the ‘relational presentation’ approach as described by Robert Lane and others (2006). This session will include demonstrations of some alternative approaches and how to implement them, with discussion of the issues involved in preparation and also in the production of hand-outs. |
