Teaching tip: Beyond PowerPoint
September 13, 2012
Let’s look at presentations in two stages. The first stage is delivery: the act of
giving and discussing your presentation with your immediate audience. The second stage
is the time after your presentation in which discussion can continue around a persistent
presentation artifact. This stage usually takes place when a presentation is uploaded
to a website where comments are enabled. Different tools support each stage of your
presentation differently.
PowerPoint supports the first stage of a presentation only. When you break away from
PowerPoint consider how much authoring time you have available, whether or not you
want a persistent artifact, and your interest in continuing the conversation after
your immediate presentation. These considerations will help you decide which tool
or tools to use authoring and delivering your message.
We encourage you to download this TT-BeyondPowerPoint (pdf) teaching tip for future reference.
