When your speakers do have slides, the general consensus is that less is more. A single, strong, graphic image or succinct line of text will tell your speaker’s story better than a crowded collage of pictures or long paragraph. Remember, people need to process everything a speaker is saying while simultaneously absorbing the slides.

I suffer from something called Ménière’s disease—don’t worry, you cannot get it from reading my blog. The symptoms of Ménière’s include hearing loss, tinnitus (a constant ringing sound), and vertigo. There are many medical theories about its cause: too much salt, caffeine, or alcohol in one’s diet, too much stress, and allergies. Thus, I’ve worked …

Blamed for a rise in passive behaviour, and a decline in curiosity among young people, this software is divisive – loved by some, hated by others – but has it had its day?

We’re excited to announce a major milestone in PowerPoint Designer usage, new Designer capabilities, and that our AI effort is moving beyond Designer with our new Presenter Coach.
Peter Mellow's insight:
Presenter Coach looks interesting. I've always said you need to practice talking with your PPT deck slides before the actual presentation. Multiple times! But being able to get some feedback is really valuable. People are best, but AI is good if you don't have people around.

In recent years, the slideshow presentation has become so ubiquitous in our schools that it has become rare to walk into a lesson and not see one on display. However, teaching from a slideshow can either support or hamper learning, depending on the slideshow design. In my English classroom, I use

Presentations can be among the most painful experiences in both school and the working world -- and that includes listening to them. The way most of us give presentations is broken and ineffective, but it doesn't have to be that way. What if small changes in the way we prepared to speak could drastically improve our dynamism and effectiveness? Gordon will explain a smart and simple approach to creating presentations that engage audience and inspire action.

"Love it, hate it, want to ignore it – PowerPoint is part of many people’s working and academic lives. But it’s not all bullet points, crappy clip art and watermarked images of authors who forget good digital citizenship. PowerPoint can also be used as a simple image creator and editor."

Design systems create a bridge between designers and developers. They describe the rules, constraints, and principles of your company’s design language. Design systems aren't exactly new. If you've ever visited New York City, there's a good chance you've benefited from the subway design system to navigate around—officially named the New York Transit Authority graphic standards manual, designed by the infamous Massimo Vignelli. Design systems don't just provide brand guidelines, they provide a way to consistently implement functional design. In today's incarnation of design systems, it's expected that they provide one source of truth for code, along with documentation and design resources. For teams building digital products, design systems can improve workflow efficiency and enable teams to deliver a better experience to customers.
