  8. Methods of Presentation Delivery and Distribution • Group Delivery with Speaker • Slides either display graphics, support, or add emphasis to information speaker is lecturing on • Key to this is support or supplement. The presentation should still need speaker, do not just read the slides • Group Delivery without Speaker • Presentation is played one time for audience and does not require any explanation from a speaker. • Also may be used to entertain audience before a speaker presents to the group.

  9. Methods of Presentation Delivery and Distribution • Continuous Loop • Presentation will be played repeatedly, typically the presentation does not have an assigned beginning and an end • Good for schools and trade show settings • Rolling Script • Presentation will be played at a moderate pace so all users will be able to follow along and participate

Methods of Presentation Delivery and Distribution Self-Serve Hard Copy or Handout • May be delivered by a website, it is self paced and often has interactive features • May be accompanied by a narration • Great for training presentations • Effective method when content is foreign to audience, has to be remembered or is procedural • Make sure the hand out is properly sized to conserve materials or on the other hand that the font is not to small to read.
