Topic outline

  • Week 3 Visuals



    The goal of this week is to find out more about how to design and use your slides. Although many students are familiar with the basics of creating and using slides with PowerPoint, it is rare that students (or even professionals) have familiarized themselves thoroughly with actual guidelines for effective slide design. In addition, due to lack of time, slides are often created last minute and in a hurry. It is therefore worth your while to spend some time learning more about slide design and creating your own set of slides.   


    This week consists of two assignments. In Assignment 7, you will study / read more about slide design and then share your findings to the rest of the group in a Forum. You will also learn more from your class mates regarding their findings and views on slide design. In Assignment 8, you will create your own set of slides and include some thoughts to justify your choices in slide design.


    If you have found a link on slide design you would like to share with others, please post it under "Useful Links".
