Description
A well-designed slide deck sparks joy, inspires your students and moves your audience during your lecture!
In this FREE course, discover how to use various elements and strategies to transform a dull or dry science-based slide deck into an attractive, interesting yet educational to our students and audience.
You will learn how I approach designing a slide deck, and delivering a lecture. In general, I am guided by the approach of Presentation Zen - a minimalist presentation approach that emphasises on having only essential elements on a slide and do away with non-essentials.
The course covers the following topics and skills in academic presentations:
A. Introductory section
I go a few steps further showing you some tips, tricks and strategies I employed while designing these slides for this lecture.
The slide deck used to be a part of an Integrated Course on Cardiac Drugs. So I will also share several teaching and learning strategies that you would find useful, if and when, you're asked to teach or give a lecture.
Come one, come all.
