For my video I wanted to make sure to follow David Phillips 6 dos and don’ts on PowerPoint presentations. I also followed a few of the multimedia learning principles to ensure my presentation was clear and easily understood.

  • For my presentation I made sure not to put too much text on each slide. I also made sure not to read directly off the slides. I did not want to overpower my presentation by adding a lot of text accompanied by a long narration. This followed the Redundancy Principle.
  • I also put up a pictures of Simone Biles with short key point text on the side and followed along with narration. This followed the Multimedia & Modality Principles.
  • I then made sure to make the title of each slide the main prominent point of my discussion so that listeners knew what I was going to be talking about. This followed the Signalling Principle.
  • I used Ariel font for my text as David Phillips states it is the easiest font to read and follow along to.
