Avoiding "Death by Powerpoint"
Research has shown that poor use of Powerpoint can be a significant ‘pain point’ for students in lectures. This workshop will consider the point and the purpose of PowerPoint, and explore some key principles for using PowerPoint well, taking account of published research, student feedback and cognitive load theory. In the current context of increased online delivery, we will touch on some key things to be aware of when presenting via MS Teams or Blackboard Collaborate Ultra.
