PowerPoint Poisoning and Other Presentation Pitfalls for Presenters

Boston University Center for Interpreter Education presents:

David Evans

PowerPoint Poisoning and Other Presentation Pitfalls for Presenters .9 CEUs

Boston University, College of Arts and Sciences, Room 326
725 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA

It’s been called “death by PowerPoint.”  Research indicates PowerPoint slides often interfere with participant comprehension, organization, and retention of information.  You are a dynamic presenter with knowledge and experience to share.  Are your PowerPoints actually hindering your  message?

What makes an effective presentation?  It is more than the content: it includes the participant handouts, multimedia (PowerPoint) presentation, and information you provide verbally or in sign.  Participants want presentations that engage them intellectually, visual aids to reinforce the content, and quality handout materials that can be  referenced again and again.  The research-based principles in this  workshop will help you create PowerPoint presentations and participant handouts that complement the content you provide.

You, too, can avoid PowerPoint poisoning in your presentations!  Come prepared to work on a new or existing training: bring two printouts of your PowerPoint slides, or an idea you are ready to begin to transform into a workshop. You’ll leave with results!
