Comment on The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint (2006) [pdf]parent

Comments

I once had a great presentation about this very topic!

The presenter gave us both the Tufte book and a detailed handout.

The idea is that you use the PowerPoint like you would an overhead projector, details that would otherwise be on slides are better as a handout that people can read/annotate as they want.

This was part of a summer REU and focused on academic talks, and this all falls apart in a remote setting - but I think there are ways to capture the essence of this style on Zoom.
