| Abstract:
"Death by Powerpoint" won't literally kill your audience. But it will cause them to check their phone messages, flip ahead in the handout, and fall asleep. In this demonstration, attendees will learn the science behind good slideshows and will leave with direct, pointed changes that can be administered to their own evaluation presentations. The demonstration will focus on evidence-based principles of slideshow design that support legibility, comprehension, and retention of our evaluation work in the minds of our clients. Grounded in visual processing theory, the principles will enhance attendees' ability to communication more effectively with peers, colleagues, and clients through a focus on the proper use of color, placement, and type in slideshow presentations.
