Study shows PowerPoint might make information harder to digest (Download Squad)

Apr 13th 2007 8:04PM Presenations need to be more "visual". A picture is worth a thousand words.

The problem with presentations - too much TEXT (like bullet lists), and not much visual diagrams (relations).

The diagrams can add value to the voice, if a speaker did a homework. Text slides are easier to make, but text slides are redundant to what speaker is saying anyway. The audience reads the text faster than speaker can talk.

Bad presentation: Bullet Lists
Good presentation: Relational Diagrams, Headlines, Charts and Tables.

And one more thing - presentations should be easy to publish to the Web (like spresent.com)
