Tip #4: Designing Better Slides
Ever faced a daunting slide crammed with text? We've all been there, either straining to read while the speaker drones on or outright avoiding it. And in the virtual realm, it's an even trickier challenge. But fear not, I'm Lorraine, your ECCLPs consultant, and I've got the inside scoop. In this video, I've got three key tips for virtual content: Visuals steal the show, replace text with memorable images; Fonts should be simple and big for accessibility; and embrace more slides, not fewer, each focusing on one idea and flipping through them quickly for a dopamine-fueled audience. Next time, we dive into the world of feedback, and trust me, it's going to be a game-changer!
