Presentation Guidelines
When creating a presentation and/or recording a session for a webinar, please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Do not wear clothing with stripes
- Ensure the slide size for the presentation is set to the standard (4:3).
- Only use dark fonts on light backgrounds or vice versa, refrain from using grey or lighter fonts on light backgrounds.
- Logos should be placed over a plain background (not covering any text).
- Do not use too much text – a maximum of 40 words per slide should be used. LESS IS MORE
- The smallest font size used should be 24pt. Please make sure when uploading your powerpoint to Prezi that your words are viewable for a PC and Mobile device.
- When including images/graphs in the presentation, please consider that mobile devices are often used to view webinars and the graphs/images should still be visible accordingly.
- You can either create your own powerpoint in Prezi or use one from Powerpoint.
Please follow the following general guidelines when recording/presenting:
- Use a plain background. (white wall)
- Use natural lighting so that the speaker is visible, but not also too bright. (Don’t sit in front of a window with light from the back)
- When speaking, use a headset or earphones to reduce background noise.
- Ensure the laptop or camera is at eye level.
- Ensure head and shoulder are within the frame (not cut off)
- Ensure that your internet connection is stable.
