Question
What is proper PowerPoint presentation etiquette?
Answer
Do:
- Take advantage of the individual slide format by keeping the message of each slide clear and concise
- Keep slides organized in a logical and connected order. Each slide should flow smoothly from one to the next
- Use bulleted lists to convey groups of ideas
- Place text and graphics on the slides in their order of importance
Don’t:
- Use color schemes that may not be practical for the viewing and absorption of information
- Add too much animation and multimedia content; your audience will be distracted by the presentation and will not learn from it
- Put every detail on one slide – slides should be used to enhance the lecture, not take the place of it
- Use multiple backgrounds throughout the show. Keep the same background throughout your presentation
