As
more students turn to webcasting as their preferred distance
learning vehicle, DEN wants to ensure the presentations captured
on-screen are as legible as possible since most computer monitors
are significantly smaller in size than TV monitors. We've
prepared some new guidelines about PowerPoint presentations
for you, and we also have webcast-ready
templates created for you to download. If you have any
questions or need help converting your current PowerPoint
slides to make them webcast-ready, do not hesitate to contact
us.

PowerPoint
Slide Guidelines
- Presentations
should have a plain colored background (please stay away
from the "busy" ones with a lot of design in the
background) - DEN
has templates available for your convenience.
- Keep
a one inch (minimum) border all the way around each slide.
- Lines,
especially horizontal lines, need to be at least 4pts thick.
- Slide
titles = 30pt. ARIAL BLACK, ALL CAPS
- Text
body = 30pt. Arial (bolded) with an absolute minimum
of 24pt for regular text
- Chart
or graph labels = 18pt Arial minimum
- It
is better to have two (or more) slides rather than one very
content-heavy one.
- Materials
copyrighted by anyone other than the author may not
be used (cartoons, photocopied articles, etc.)
General
Guidelines
- Although
it depends on the density of each slide and how quickly
you talk, the average number of slides is 25 per hour.
- If
you are bringing personal computers or other equipment,
it should be tested for compatibility in advance.
- For
computer-based demonstrations / presentations, we recommend
setting the cpmuter resolution at 1024x768.
- Programming
Code: It is almost impossible to set up a computer so
that programming code is readable on-screen. The best solution
is to make the code available as a printable document included
in the student noteset.
- Software
Demonstration:
All print smaller than 24pt font will not be readable.
If possible, provide appropriate screenshots in the noteset.
- If
you are showing websites, please provide the full URL information
in the noteset.
