Effective use of visual aids
This presentation discusses effective use of visual aids in presentations. It defines visual aids as graphic tools that supplement spoken words since words alone are ephemeral. The presentation aims to discuss how media and presentation packages can enhance communication. Visual aids are important because they can increase audience interest, illustrate key points, increase the impact of messages, and help audiences retain information. Common visual aids include overhead projectors, PowerPoint, blackboards/whiteboards, and flip charts. The presentation provides tips for effective use of each aid and emphasizes organizing aids as part of the presentation, using aids to emphasize points, and ensuring the audience can see and understand the aids.
