7. Presenters View
• Using this mode of PowerPoint, your slides are
projected as usual on the big screen and fill the
entire space, but the computer used by the
lecturer displays the slides in preview mode, with
the space for notes visible at the bottom of the
screen. In this fashion, lecturers can have a set of
notes separate from what is displayed to the
students, which has the overall effect of
increasing the engagement of the presentation.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
8. Challenges
Although there are many potential benefits to PowerPoint, there
are several issues that could create problems or disengagement:
• Teacher-centered. Students often respond better when
instructors have designed sessions for greater classroom
interaction, such as the use of student response
clickers, designing PowerPoint to facilitate case studies, or use
the slides as a replacement for paper worksheets.
• Lack of feedback. PowerPoint-based lectures tell you nothing
about student learning. Design them to include opportunities
for feedback (not simply asking if there are questions, but
more actively quizzing your students). This often takes the
form of listing questions, not information, on the slides
themselves.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
9. • Student inactivity. Slide shows do little to model how students
should interact with the material on their own. Include student
activities or demonstrations to overcome this, either before or
after the slideshow presentation.
• Potentially reductive. PowerPoint was designed to promote
simple persuasive arguments. Design for critical
engagement, not just for exposure to a “point.”
• Presentation graphics should be about learning, not about
presentation.
• PowerPoint presentations should help students organize their
notes, not just “be” the notes. This is a particular danger with
students who grew up accustomed to receiving PowerPoint
notes to study from. Some may require convincing that notes
should be taken beyond what is already on the slides.

11. When light is on:
EYE CONTACT:
If maintaining eye contact with your students is important to you, then you
may wish to keep the lights on. This also helps if you don’t want student
attention focused solely on the screen. With the lights on, coupled with an
effective presentation, their eyes will follow where you direct their attention.
NAPPING STUDENTS:
While it may be impossible to prevent some students from falling asleep in
class, leaving the lights on can help tired members of your class stay awake.
NOTE TAKING:
If you expect your students to take a lot of notes during your lecture, then
they should be able to see what they are doing. Leaving the lights on will
help see what they’re writing while they listen to your lecture.
PRINTING EASE:
If you are planning on posting your slide on the web for your students to print
out and bring to class, then consider doing them on a light/white background
(and thus keep the lecture hall lights on). This way there is room for them to
take notes around your slides.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
12. When the light is off
• PREVENTING EYESTRAIN:
Staring at a bright slide for an extended amount of time is hard on
the eyes. Too much brightness from the screen in addition to having
the lights on can make things even worse. Try to create a
comfortable viewing environment to help your students better absorb
your material. A dark room makes looking at slides much easier on
your students.
• VISUAL DIVERSIONS:
With the lights on, there is more room for students to become easily
distracted by other things they may see. You may want to turn the
lights off to help students focus on more easily on what you’re trying
to show.
• MORE EFFECTIVE MEDIA PRESENTATION
If your presentation is image or media intensive, it will look much
better and be much easier to see in a dark viewing environment. This
is especially true for video content.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
14. PowerPoint, when displayed via a projector, is a
useful tool for showing audiences things
that enhance what the speaker is saying. It is a useful
tool for illustrating the content of a speech, such as
by showing photos, graphs, charts, maps, etc., or by
highlighting certain text from a speech, such as
quotations or major ideas. It should not be used as a
slide-show outline of what the speaker is telling the
audience.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
15. Slides used in a presentation should be spare, in
terms of how much information is on each slide, as
well as how many slides are used. A rule of thumb
is to put no more than eight lines of text on a slide,
and with no more than eight to ten words per line.
In most cases, less is more, so four lines of text is
probably better. Don’t display charts or graphs with
a lot of information—if it’s useful for the audience
to see such things, pass them out as handouts.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
16. Unless you’re an experienced
designer, don’t use the transition and
animation “tricks” that are built into
PowerPoint, such as bouncing or flying text.
By now, most people roll their eyes when
they see these things, and these tricks add
nothing of value to a presentation.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
17. Above all, use high-contrast color schemes so that
whatever is on your slides is readable. Unless you are a
talented graphic designer, use the templates that come
with PowerPoint or Keynote, and keep it simple—high
concept design in a slide presentation doesn’t help in
most circumstances, unless you’re in the fashion or
design fields. If you use graphics or photos, try to use
the highest quality you can find or afford—clip art and
low-resolution graphics blown up on a screen usually
detract from a presentation.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
18. Rehearse your PowerPoint presentation and not just
once. Don’t let PowerPoint get in the way of your oral
presentation, and make sure you know how it works,
what sequence the slides are in, how to get through it
using someone else’s computer, etc. Make sure that you
can deliver your presentation if PowerPoint is completely
unavailable; in other words, make sure you can give your
speech without your PowerPoint presentation.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
19. Learn how to give a good speech without PowerPoint. This
takes practice, which means giving speeches without
PowerPoint. Believe it or not, public speaking existed before
PowerPoint, and many people remember it as being a lot better
then than it is now. A few people use presentation software in
extremely effective ways—Steve Jobs and Stanford Law
Professor Lawrence Lessig are two examples. Al Gore’s use of
Keynote in the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” was a good
model. But these three examples don’t look at all like the way
most people use PowerPoint. Avoiding bad PowerPoint habits
means, first and foremost, becoming a good public speaker.
http://eglobiotraining.com/
20. There are different ways to make your
presentation more interesting. For me, it
depends on the topic and to the audience that
will be presented on.
