How would you create an effective powerpoint presentation?

How would you create an effective PowerPoint presentation?
  • PowerPoint enables lectures to be more interactive- questions can be set, the answer delayed from appearing on screen through the preset animation feature.
  • Do not dumb down the information - maintain complexity of subject.
  • Provide evidence to back up your theories.
  • Supplement slides with text and data.
  • Consider your target audience
  • Eliminate distraction - do not dazzle the audience.
  • Select powerful imagery - not clip art.
  • Use keywords, not sentences.
  • Deliver your presentation, PowerPoint will not do all the work for you.
