Abstract
Love it or hate it, lectures utilising slideware constitute a major portion of university educational practice. As such, it’s important we understand how to get the most from these tools. In this talk, we will explore what the neuroscienctific, psychological, and educational research says about what does (and does not!) work with slideware. Ideally, participants will leave with a set of tools and concrete examples they can use to improve their own PowerPoint presentations.
