When most people create a PowerPoint presentation, they are actually hampering learning. We will explore how to improve your presentation to maximize learning and understanding from your audience. At the end of the presentation, participants will be able to: explain why this method of presentation aids learning, develop PowerPoint presentations that help learning, and use principles to deliver better presentations.
