Checklist of good practices for preparing a power point presentation:

Checklist of good practices for preparing a power point presentation Keep your presentation simple & clear It is not meant to transmit all information but to highlight main points and help trainees structure their notes Keep designs & layout simple & use no more than six bullet points Use one topic for each slide Use main headings & sub headings Use simple words/ keywords rather than sentences

contd:

contd Limit the number of slides for example not more than 12 for a ten minute presentation Ensure text contrasts with the background Standardize positions, colors & styles Use only one or two animations/ transition effects For database demonstrations add steps in between the portal screenshots Ensure adequate time for projector warm up

contd:

contd Use a sans serif font such as Arial/comic sans as they are easier to read While using color don’t use yellow/light green as they do not show well at end of theatre Use wider spacing Depending on size of room the font size should be at least 18 point preferably 24 point & sometimes 30 points Use no more than two font sizes Avoid acronyms

contd:

contd Limit use of punctuation marks Familiarize with equipment handling Do not obstruct the view
