This document provides tips for creating effective slide presentations. It recommends outlining the presentation, using a slide structure of 1-2 slides per minute with 4-5 points per slide written in point form. Font should be at least 18 points and contrast with the background. Color should emphasize structure and points, not be distracting. Graphs are easier to understand than raw data. Proofread for spelling and grammar errors. Conclusions should summarize main points and questions slides invite audience participation. Effective slides promote learning through visually clear and concise content and structure.
