Multimedia Presentation

Multimedia presentations combine various forms of media like text, audio, images, video and interactive content. They differ from normal presentations by including elements like animations, video/movie clips, sounds or music. Effective PowerPoint presentations are simple, readable and focus on key points rather than long blocks of text. They incorporate high quality photos/images, use short phrases instead of sentences, have minimal bullet points under six words each and eliminate unnecessary titles. Presenters should highlight the most important data in tables/graphs, use animation sparingly and provide a detailed handout while keeping slides visual.

 Multimedia Presentation

Multimedia uses a combination of different content forms such as text, audio, Images,
animations, video and interactive content. Multimedia is distinguished from mixed media in
fine art by including audio. For example, it has a broader scope.

A presentation program is a software package used to display information in the form


of a slide show. It has three major functions: an editor that allows text to be inserted and
formatted, a method for Inserting and manipulating graphic images, and a slide show system
to display the content.

A multimedia presentation differs from a normal presentation in way that it contains


some form of animation or media. Typically, a multimedia presentation contains at least one
of the following elements: Video or movie clip and animation sound (this could be a voice
over, background music or sound clips)

Twelve Tips for Creating Effective Presentations

PowerPoint has become the de facto presentation tool for most of us.
However, when used improperly, PowerPoint slides can actually interfere
with communication rather than pro moting it. Communications researchers
have identified concepts that have substantial implication for how we can
create the most effective presentations (Harrington and Car, 2010).

Harrington and Car (2010) suggested some tips with good and bad visual examples to
help presenters identify and avoid bad PowerPoint habits, and to promote awareness of how
nest to use PowerPoint to create effective and meaningful presentations

1. Design a template that is free from distracting items.


 Strive for simplicity and readability.
 When creating your template, keep in mind the advice of French writer Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry: "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is
nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."

2. Ensure that your template promotes readability.


 Choose color combinations that make it easy for the audience to read your slides.

3. Select a sans serif font.


 Limit your fonts to two, at most.
 Sans serif fonts (translated as without serifs"), such as Calibri, Arial and Trebuchet,
produce a cleaner, less cluttered, and readable.

4. Always use fonts that are 24 point or larger.


 Displaying text that is too small to read compromises your message and frustrates
your audience.
 If you have more text than can reasonably fit on a screen using at least 24 point fonts
then either: (a) create another slide or (b) shorten your text. As noted in tip #11, let
your handout contain the detailed information and use your presentation to highlight
your most significant points.
5. Incorporate high quality photos, images or diagrams that reinforce your verbal message.
 Avoid clip art, since it can make your presentation look dated and unprofessional.
 Incorporating your text into the photo presents a more unified and visually pleasing
message than having them completely separate.

6. Use phrases or abbreviated sentences, rather than full sentences.


 With the possible exception of short direct quotes, keep full sentences in your oral
presentation and off the screen.
 "Humans are incapable of reading and comprehending text on a screen and listening
to a speaker at the same time. Therefore, lots of text (almost any text!), and long,
complete sentences are bad, Bad, BAD” (Reynolds, 2010, p. 57).

7. Use bullet points sparingly. If using bullet points, be sure they are less than six words long.
 The most effective sliders are often with the least text.
 If you want to use and outline organizer your talk, keep it on paper rather than putting
it on as bullets.

8. Eliminate the use of headings or titles unless they communicate the main message.
 Headings should not be used to introduce or identify the topic of the slide, though
they may be useful to call attention to the main finding in a chart or graph.
 Otherwise, headings tend to be redundant and should be eliminated.
9. Use animation, slide transitions, audio, and video sparingly.
 The audience's attention is immediately drawn to the movement on the screen, thus
breaking their concentration on the presentation content

10. Highlight the most important information in tables and graphs.


 If needed, use builds to present data in a series of bite sized pieces.
 Consider the pace when presenting tables/graphs on screen

11. Create a handout to accompany your presentation.


 Slides should be designed to visually enhance (not summarize) your presentation.
 Handouts should be well-written comprehensive reports, containing detailed
information such as complex charts, data, analyses, and references.

12. Be passionate about your topic.


 The slides should serve to enhance your oral presentation
 Bullet points are not passionate, not even when they are highly decorated.
APPLICATION

“Multimedia Presentation”

Directions: Choose any topic that you master or very familiar with (you may also use the
topics you have in other subjects that you liked the most). Then make a PowerPoint
presentation with 8 slides at most. The last slide should contain the references from which
you got your information indicated in your presentation. Consider the tips you learned for
creating creative multimedia presentation. See the scoring rubrics below for grading.

contains a limited number of talking points as opposed
to complete paragraphs or lengthy sentences.
