In this course, we will explore the use of PowerPoint for presentation design not merely as a container for written thoughts and ideas, but instead as a blank canvas. Using the Assertion-Evidence Method for presentation design (Alley, 2013), participants will learn how to design meaningful slides with captivating claims and images that contribute to, rather than detract, from messages. The result is an increase in passion and joy from the presenter along with better engagement and comprehension of audiences.
