Creating Online Narrated Presentations California Technology Assistance Project Region 6 Burt Lo
Objectives • Promising practices of PowerPoint presentations • Review programs and plug-ins for narrating presentations and publishing to the web • Group participation-Create narrated PowerPoint presentations
Perceptions of Presentations • Presentations with lots of animations, graphics, transitions, etc look better and are better teaching tools presented by more organized teachers • Presentations assist students in taking notes and study for tests
Promising Practices of Presentations • Expanded presentations produce lower quiz scores than basic presentations and transparencies • Related pictures are neither beneficial nor harmful to learning unless students are not familiar with topic • Unrelated pictures have a negative impact on learning
Moving Forward with Presentations • Enhancing presentations with pictures takes an average of 50% more time than creating a basic presentation • Use text-only slides complimented with multimedia filler slides • Assist students with skeletal notes before a lesson and detailed notes before the test
Presentation Tidbits • Front-load presentations: students recall 70% from the first 10 minutes, but only 20% from the last 10 minutes • Most people prefer the Verdana font in presentations • Use dark text with light backgrounds
Avoiding Annoying Elements • 60% The speaker read the slides • 51% Text was too small to read • 49% Slide contained full sentences • 37% Color choice made it difficult to read • 24% Moving / flying text or graphics • These items increase in importance during online presentations
Why Publish? • Provide a resource for people who cannot attend live • Just in time learning • Create eLearning courses • Provide a wider audience for your presentations
Differences between live and online • Typewriter vs. Word Processing • Good presentation design • Reading is for bed time stories • Script every page • Not everything is a nail
Performance Differences (Live vs. Web) • Can’t check for understanding • Can’t slow down / skip / stop for questions, feedback, or interaction • Visual clues from live presentations are missing • Desire to navigate and drill down to information
The Art of Online Presentations • Make user-friendly • Navigation buttons / bread crumb navigation • Personality doesn’t transfer • Rehearsing with narration
