The online environment works best when you deliver information visually and use a combination of text, images, and voice
Keep text simple and focused
Highlight key concepts, big ideas, and keywords.
When you fill the slide with text the students will try to read what’s on the slide instead of listening to your narration
Keep your presentation as clear, concise, and explicit as possible
Limit the number of slides so that you maximize students time and attention spans
Think about 5-7 minute chunks of content – students won’t sit through a 30-minute online presentation, but they will view smaller presentation chunks in one sitting or over several days
Organize your content logically – When viewing presentations online, students can’t ask questions in real-time and get easily frustrated if they can’t follow your thinking or meaning
Remember that you won’t have the opportunity to add additional stories and explanations in real-time so you have to include all of the important concepts in print, images and narration, notes, video clips and resources
The most compelling and engaging presentations are full of stories, examples, reflections and specific links to practice
Don’t read your slide – talk through your presentation
Use the narrated presentations as another opportunity to establish your voice and enhance your presence in your class
Present to one student at a time rather than lecturing to the class – use a conversational style to engage the learner
Present with feelings, energy, interest and excitement
