Level: Beginner - Introduces fundamental concepts and basic applications
Participants will learn evidence-based strategies to elevate slide presentations, transforming them into clear, engaging, and accessible learning tools. Drawing on cognitive science and Mayer’s Principles of Multimedia Learning, you will learn how to reduce cognitive overload, highlight main concepts, and pair meaningful visuals with narration for the greatest impact on learners. We’ll also explore accessibility strategies like contrast, perceivability, and compatibility with assistive technologies so all learners can engage with course content.
Through guided, hands-on application, participants will create or revise a slide presentation, experiment with design techniques, and test how well their slide decks work for both live and recorded delivery. By the end of the workshop, participants will walk away with the ability to create polished slides that are not only visually appealing but also pedagogically sound, inclusive, and ready to capture attention.
