**[Effective presentation Content Delivery ]** **[As a future PathA, when might you need to develop an impactful presentation?]** - Case conferences, Tumor boards - Educational seminars, Research presentations - Quality improvement meetings - Professional development workshops - Hospital administration meetings **[How would you approach planning for your impactful presentation?]** 1. Define your objective 2. Know your audience 3. Outline your content 4. Gather and organize your materials 5. Create visual aids 6. Practice your delivery 7. Prepare handouts if appropriate 8. Plan for engagement **[How to "Know Your Audience"- Do the Research!]** ***Research-Based Learning Principles*** - Individual Differences - Prior Knowledge - Knowledge Organization - Motivation - Mastery - Practice & Feedback - Course Climate - Self-directed Learners **[The Importance of Individual Differences]** - Students vary widely in their: - Prior knowledge, skills, cognitive abilities, motivation, self-efficacy, personal experiences = **impacts learning approaches** **[How Does Student's Prior Knowledge Affect Their Learning?]** - Students prior knowledge can **help** or **hinder** learning **[How do Students Develop Mastery?]** - Student must acquire component skills practice, integrate them & know when to apply what they have learned **[Why Do Student Development & Course Climate Matter for Student Learning?]** - Students current level of development interacts with social, emotional & intellectual climate of the course to impact learning **[How Do Students Become Self-Directed Learners?]** - Students must learn to **monitor** & **adjust** their approaches to learning - The above learning principles teach us, people don't master a new skill or knowledge after one lesson so how do you as an instructor self-directed learning in your audience for continual growth? **[How Does the Way Students Organize Knowledge Affect Their Learning?]** - How students organize knowledge **influences** how they learn & how they apply their knowledge - (or, in our case, how presenters organize and deliver the content this principle in action) **[What Kinds of Practice & Feedback Enhance Learning]?** - Goal-directed practice coupled with targeted feedback enhances the quality of students' learning **[What Factors Motivate Students to Learn?]** - Students' motivation determines, directs, and sustains what they do to learn = **engagement** **[What type of learning are we facilitating?]** - Engagement + timely communication + integration = - The most memorable & engaging learning sessions are **audience**transparent color between image & text to separate the text - **Fonts**: Don't complicate with fancy fonts, not easy to read at all & this **[cannot]** be seen from **back** of room 4. **Salience**: - Draw attention to perceptible differences (change **colors** of words, font **sizes** for **emphasis**) - Basic guidelines for font selection with added bonus of demonstrating this principle - **Utilize:** Sans Serif Fonts - fonts **without** "feet" = Arial, Helvetica, Open Sans, Calibri, Verdana - **Avoid:** Serif Fonts - fonts with "feet" or decorative lines = Times New Roman, Georgia, Garamond - **Avoid**: ALL CAPS *OR ALL ITALICS* - [**Avoid** underlines] - Vary color & **bold** for emphasis **When considering Imagery:** - Images containing real people are proven to evoke a stronger emotional connection & are, in-general, more engaging to audience members - Don't Be afraid of full-bleed images! - You are the show. Your audience has come to hear you, not read slides Color Theory - Another way to elicit **emotion** & influence the **behavior** of audience members - Color theory: set of principles for creating harmonious color combinations. - **Wheel**: primary (yellow, red, blue), secondary (green, orange, purple), tertiary (lighter shades of both) - **Temp**: cool (green, bules purple) warm (yellow, orange, red, pink) - It's a mixture of science & art. - Understanding the fundamentals of color theory & where color comes from is important to know when designing something with impact. 5. **Perceptional Organization** group material in same way most people organize info in their minds (use tables, charts, graphs when appropriate) - Proximity, Similarity, Continuity, Closure - Figure/Ground, Symmetry, Common Fate - refers to how we visually **perceive** & **organize** info on a slide. - It\'s based on **Gestalt** **psychology** principles &plays a crucial role in creating effective, visually appealing presentations - Rule of Thirds (Bento Box) - which divides slide into a 3x3 grid, creating 4 intersection points): Key elements should be placed along these lines or at their intersections for visual appeal. 6. **Compatibility** match graphics to complement the point of your slide - Do only what is necessary to convey what is essential...carefully eliminate elements that distract from the essential whole - there are times when colors & textures can be leveraged to enhance the graphics that complement the point of your slide 7. **Informative Changes** signify a beginning & an end of each new part or subpart (objectives, agendas, chapter designations, activity prompts, key take aways) 8. **Capacity Limitations** refers to the limits of human cognitive processing, particularly in working memory. Our brains can only handle a certain amount of info at once. In presentations, this means avoiding info **overload** & presenting content in manageable chunks. - Rules of 4: - **4x4 rule**: no more than 4 bullet points per slide, no more than 4 words per bullet point - The 4x4 rule is HARD when teaching new concepts/materials-do your best - **4 sec rule**: audience should be able to understand the main point of a slide within 4 sec. **Copyright** **Infringement**: - Be careful using internet images  - Use an open, creative commons site like Pexel, Pixabay, Wikimedia - In professional settings, you may need to attribute your own photos - In text citations & referencing - Online Writing Lab (OWL) Purdue website is a great, updated resource **Active Learning Strategies** - Once your slides are designed, you can begin to incorporate ways to engage your audience - Polling, think-pair-share, case studies/scenarios, QA sessions, demonstrations, quizzes, group discussions, roleplaying, gamification, interactive visuals **Key Take-Aways of Effective Presentations:** - Connect and engage the audience - Direct attention to material - Promote understanding and memory - Mind legal compliance of material A group of logos and symbols Description automatically generated with medium confidence
