Use Audiovisuals [1]
Major Types of Audiovisuals
5. Slides
Advantages
- Let's you show pictures in a larger setting - a picture's
worth 1,000 words.
- Can show much more detail than overheads, flip charts.
- Can be used effectively for almost any size audience.
Disadvantages
- Must be shown in a darkened room (presenter cannot be
seen by audience).
- Using too many slides can tire or bore the audience.
Approximately 10-15 minutes is effective length.
- A slide presentation requires a high degree of preparation
and is highly structured.

Tips for Using Slides
- Use only high quality slides (avoid over- or underexposed,
out of focus, etc.).
- Try (very hard!) to use only horizontal slides (these fit
the shape of the screen; if vertical slides are also used, you
lose considerable screen area or cut off the tops of the projected
images.
- "Storyboard" your presentation; this technique can
help improve any presentation.
