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.
