How to design a presentation that works Part I: Slide Design
When I tell you you’re about to watch a PowerPoint presentation, what’s your initial reaction, and why?
February 1, 2003

Why did they die? David M. Brown		Laurel B. Clark		Michael P. Anderson 	Ilan Ramon Rick D. Husband		KalpanaChawla		William C. McCool
According to Edward Tufte…
PowerPoint.
Boeing PowerPoint hid potential danger
So, is PowerPoint evil?
Does it destroy critical thought? The Cognitive Style of Powerpoint. 2005. Photograph. The Works of Edward Tufte and Graphics Press. By Edward Tufte. 6 Sept. 2005. Web. 30 Dec. 2010. <http://www.edwardtufte.com/tufte/powerpoint>.
Does it destroy student attention and learning? Manalaysay, Mark. Sleeping. Photograph. Stockvault. 24 May 2007. Web. 30 Dec. 2010. <http://www.stockvault.net/photo/103223/sleeping>.
According to Richard E. Mayer…
No.
Multimedia presentations increase retention and deep learning.
PowerPoint is not evil.
But bad design is. Design matters.
Most of our instincts and intuitions are wrong.
Information-rich Technologically advanced Aesthetically pleasing None of these actually matter
So, what does matter?
Slide Design Engagement Structure ,[object Object]
Images
Details
Curiosity
Conflict
Organizers
Interaction,[object Object]
Write a clear headline at the top of the slide verb subject
Headline = Main idea = A sentence
One idea per slide.
Fossil Fuels: Who has what? 63% correct Before
OPEC countries control about 75% of the world’s oil 81% correct (+ 18%)
54% correct Before
Uranium and Thorium are large “unstable” atoms break down to produce smaller atoms, heat, and radioactivity Plates move because of convection caused by heat from decay of radioactive elements in the mantle 86% correct (+ 31%) Ocean [Miller, 2004]
Really, each slide is a paragraph.
Muhammad’s Death Muhammad left no male heir, and no instructions for succession (who would follow him as leader) Muslims split into two factions: “Shia” Leaders should be appointed by Muhammad or God Imam (leader) is sinless and infallible Shia reject the Hadith– narrated traditons “Sunni” Leaders must be elected
Muhammad’s death split Islam in two.
Create clear headlines Your turn: ,[object Object]
Pretend the top half is your new slide.
Writedown a clear headline – the single, driving MAIN IDEA of the slide.,[object Object]
Add pictures to words
Label important images or parts Robert E. Lee’s  Amnesty Oath Thomas Jefferson
Iron ,[object Object]
Properties:
shaped, sharpened, welded
strong, durable
Accounts for >95% of metals used
Iron ores discovered in 1844 in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
Soon found other ores in upper Wisconsin and MinnesotaIron Ore Distribution 59% recall Before Kesler 1994
Iron Can be shaped, sharpened, and welded Is strong and durable Iron ores make up 5.6% of the earth’s crustand account for 95% of the metals used Iron ore 77% recall (+ 18%) [www.star-bits.com] Iron Ore Distribution [Kesler 1994]
Use clearly contrasting colors
Fill the page.
Specific images beat generic ones.
Specific images beat generic ones.
Use diagrams.
You can draw your own images.
You can take your own photos.
You can take your own photos.
Muhammad’s Death Muhammad left no male heir, and no instructions for succession (who would follow him as leader) Muslims split into two factions: “Shia” Leaders should be appointed by Muhammad or God Imam (leader) is sinless and infallible Shia reject the Hadith– narrated traditons “Sunni” Leaders must be elected
When Muhammad died, Islam split in two. Shia Sunni
Your turn: On your piece of paper, draw what you think might be the best possible image or images you could find, and label them (if that is sensible). Add pictures
So, what do you do with all the other information?
Hide it. Speak it.
Create Clear Headlines Add Pictures Hide Details Slide Design
Talking works better than writing Don’t read this.  Really.  Just try not to read this.  But reading is involuntary, so you probably already have. You have probably also  seen slides that have all sorts of great, detailed information in the bullet points. Either presenters just read the bullet points word for word, in which case,  just shoot me now. Or presenters will write things they  DON’T say in the bullet points, which means that people in the audience actually stop listening to the presenter, and just read, instead. >
Why?
We can process 2 kinds of information simultaneously
BUT we have limited processing capacity Working Memory Sensory Input Long-Term Memory
Written text takes up both channels Working Memory Sensory Input Long-Term Memory TEXT
Put details in the speaker notes section.
You can post your presentation online or print it out.
Do notadd interesting pictures and words… Lincoln unified the country.
…if they are irrelevant to the CONCEPT. Lincoln unified the country. The Last Photo Of Lincoln Ever Taken “Before Abraham Lincoln, there had never been a U.S. President with a beard. Since his presidency, four presidents have had full beards.”
Anything that doesn’t relate to the main idea destroys learning. Sounds Pictures Words Words Words Motions

  1. I’d like to start by telling you a story.
  2. On a clear February morning, the space shuttle Columbia re-entered the atmosphere at 8:44, slowing down from 17,000 miles an hour (Wikipedia contributors).Four minutes later, the leading edge of the left wing reached 2600° Fahrenheit (Wikipedia contributors).The wing, damaged during launch by a piece of foam, heated up to a temperature of almost 3000 degrees Fahrenheit, and the Columbia disintegrated over Tyler, Texas. Pieces of debris and wreckage were strewn across hundreds of miles of the U.S. (Wikipedia contributors).This video was caught by Dan McNew.Information:Wikipedia contributors. &quot;Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.&quot; Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, 4 Jan. 2011. Web. 7 Jan. 2011. Video:McNew, Dan. &quot;Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster Over Texas.&quot; 03 June 2008. Online video clip.

  3. These seven men and women lost their lives.Seated in front are astronauts Rick D. Husband (left), mission commander; KalpanaChawla, mission specialist; and William C. McCool, pilot. Standing are (from the left) astronauts David M. Brown, Laurel B. Clark, and Michael P. Anderson, all mission specialists; and Ilan Ramon, payload specialist representing the Israeli Space Agency. So, the question is: why did they die? The engineers monitoring the flight had known for two weeks that the wing sustained damage during the launch. Why weren’t the members of the crew more aware of the danger and potential risks?Image:STS107-S-002. 2001. Photograph. Human Space Flight. NASA, Oct. 2001. Web. 30 Dec. 2010.
  4. Edward Tufte, American statistician and professor emeritus of political science, statistics, and computer science at Yale University
  5. Tufte analyzed the information presented to the NASA officials in charge, and argues that the information that the mission was at risk existed, but was buried in the long PowerPoint presentations used by the Boeing engineers to present their findings.Tufte goes on to argue that this is not merely a fault of the engineers, but of PowerPoint itself, because of the way it induces people to structure their thought and communication.

  7. We’ve all seen this, just in desks in our room.
  8. However, according to Richard Mayer, who actually carried out 10 years of research on the effect of multimedia presentations on learning, the answer is...Image: Mayer, Richard E. Multimedia Learning. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2003. Print.
  9. In fact, according to Mayer, multimedia presentations can significantly enhance how people remember and understand content at a deep level.(This is what Mayer calls the “multimedia principle.”)Image: Mayer, Richard E. Multimedia Learning. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2003. Print.
  10. So, PowerPoint in itself is not evil. But clearly, Tufte had a point. Who is the villain?
  11. Now that we’ve been at this for a while, everyone knows that we really need to work to create presentations that are:Information-richTechnologically advancedAesthetically pleasingBut there’s a problem with this: none of these things actually matter.
  12. That’s what we’re here to talk about. In this part, we’ll cover slide design. Next, if you find it worthwhile, we’ll take a look at how to design the whole presentation --- how to incorporate structure so students understand more deeply, and using elements of a story to engage and sustain attention.

  14. A headline is an idea, which really is a sentence. To be an idea, and not just a topic, you must have a subject and a verb. (Newspapers sometimes use implied verbs.)
  15. One significant problem with the slide in the Columbia presentation is that the important idea was buried on a page with 5 other ideas. It is possible, if each of these ideas had its own page, the idea that the test results were wildly insufficient may have been much more clear.On the other hand, this slide about obesity is clear (and matched with a photo that causes a clear, visceral reaction). It makes a single point, and makes it well.Images:Boeing Powerpoint For NASA. Digital image. The Work Of Edward Tufte And Graphics Press. Graphics Press, 2006.

  16. Here is a slide from a PowerPoint that I actually inflicted on students. So, the challenge is: what is the main idea?
  17. Here is a possible revision of this slide. The details about Sunni and Shia could be in the notes section.If you have to formulate a main idea for every slide, it will also help clarify for you what the important information is for each slide, and the presentation as a whole. If you don’t know, the students won’t either.
  18. Remember, one of Mayer’s most significant findings is that retention and transfer (deep learning) occurs best when images and words are placed together. Image and text: Mayer, Richard E. Multimedia Learning. Cambridge: Cambridge UP, 2003. Print.
  19. For your case, it would be useful even to include pictures of people, documents, or events – if they were immortalized in painting, or caught on film.But for images and words to work best together, however, they need to be together, in space and time. So, if it makes sense with your particular slide, label or put captions on pictures right next to the picture itself. And show each image with its corresponding text at the same time.(This is based on Mayer’s spatial contiguity and temporal contiguity principles.)Text: Mayer, Richard E. Multimedia Learning.

  31. This is counterintuitive. We are writing creatures, and we imagine that people will understand and remember things better if they see it AND read it. But actually, if they see it AND read it, they remember less, and understand more superficially.(This is what Mayer calls the “redundancy principle.”)Text: Mayer, Richard E. Multimedia Learning.

  37. The final step is to go through your slides and ruthlessly eliminate anything interesting…
  38. …that does not fit the concept that you are trying to teach – that is, your main idea. This is especially true of interesting material – Mayer actually called these ‘seductive details.’ We all know the lecture we gave about the Maya, and the only detail the students remember later is the grisly thing they did with their tongues and the barbed strip of leather.This does not mean that you should not include interesting details --- just make sure they relate to the central concepts you want to get across. You may also put all of the ‘merely interesting’ stuff together somewhere else – or incorporate it into a story that you use to create a vivid picture of a person or way of life – to set the scene before you teach a concept.Text:&quot;Fun Facts About Abraham Lincoln.&quot; 2020 Site.
