Brilliant! Mandatory stuff for anyone using Powerpoint for any purpose. I assess all presentations that pass by my desk using the “Less is Moore” principles.

Great blog! Sadly, even though we hired an instructional designer to create an e-learning module for us, here I am, 8 at night, looking up helpful hints on creating an engaging module because what we have gotten from her so far has been disappointing.

Excellent information providing what I needed exactly when I needed it. The seemingly random chain of events that put your slides in front of my face can only be described as “synchronicity gone wild” (Twilight Zone theme plays softly in background.)

Great stuff and amazing timing.

Many thanks.

Hi Cathy,
love your suggestions. I think they apply to learning in general, not only e-learning.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Cathy,

Very good ideas, very useful to users who are bombarded every time with lots of text. Sorry for using “who”!!! This blog is a good lesson for lazy instructional designers. They have to apply mind to make the PPT content into more interesting instead of putting the PPT as it is coming from SME.
