> Link evaluation to learning objectives.
> Evaluation must simulate conditions of performance
in the real world. > Evaluation provides student feedback. > Evaluation aids in learning.

Unit 5, Class 2: Visual Aids and Training Activities
Visual aids should:
> Enhance the presentation.
> Summarize main points.
> Add variety. > Be simple and clear. > Have lasting effect. > Illustrate and reinforce complex ideas or
concepts.
Used poorly, visual aids can be a distraction to an ineffective presentation.

Visual Aids Examples
PowerPoint slides. Overhead transparencies. Graphs and charts. Pictures. Films and video. Flip charts. Sketches.

Handouts
Handouts can be used for many purposes:
> Summary of material.
> To extend information beyond what is presented.
> To allow participation during the seminar. > To involve participants. > Follow-up material.

PowerPoint Basics
Use a template. Use a set font and color scheme. Different styles are disconcerting to the audience.
15
SHRM

Appropriate Composition
One major concept per slide. Heading for every slide. Simple and balanced slides.
16
SHRM

Maximizing Visibility
Text must be large enough to be visible. (this is a 28 point Arial font). This is BOLD.
For comparison, this is a 14 point Times New Roman font.
Do not make transparencies directly from pages in books, reports or papers unless they can be enlarged.
17
SHRM

Use of Text (6x6 Rule)
> Outline of talk only.
> Use 6X6 rule:
6 lines per slide and 6 words to line.
> Full sentences not necessary.
> Remove articles (the, a, an).
> Illustrate concepts where possible.
18

Fonts
Choose a font that is easy to read. Roman and gothic typefaces are easier to read than Script or Old English. Do not use more than one or two font types. Avoid
getting carried away
with fonts, colors, and text
sizes.

The Color Wheel

SHRM

Colors
Contrasting or complementary colors are those
separated by another color. Adjacent colors (next to each other) harmonize. Colors that are directly opposite from one another are said to clash.
21

Backgrounds
White on dark background should not be used if the audience is more than 20 feet away. Having a dark background on a computer screen reduces glare.
Light text on dark background is very effective for computer reading.
22
SHRM

Use of Images
Use one image per slide. Use two images to provide contrast, but make them big. Draw arrows if needed for emphasis. Do not enlarge small images they blur. Do not distort the image. Credit the source.
SHRM
2009
Citation of References
Credit images on slide: > Include the name of the author, date and title of article and journal. Include references on last slide.
24
SHRM
2009
Use of Animation
Should enhance, not distract. Should not kill time. Should be subtle. Avoid animation schemes. Use same transition between slides.
25
SHRM

Timing and the Number of Slides
1 slide = 2 3 minutes. Image slides may take less time. Time yourself. Leave time for questions.
26
SHRM

Illustrations
Use only when appropriate. Relate to the message. Use simple diagrams.
