Dear Colleagues,

A new interactive tutorial on the effective design and delivery of presentation graphics (such as PowerPoint) and is available at

http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/tutorials/powerpoint

The tutorial offers choices between slide pairs and video clips of "good" and "bad" slide design and delivery, followed by guidelines on effective use of presentation graphics. Also included are tips on creating a speech outline, pros and cons of presentation graphics, and additional resources. The tutorial uses the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as a sample speech topic; a brief UDHR quiz is also included.

The tutorial can be used individually or in class, as springboard for discussion.

Best,
Elisabeth Gareis
