Tips for Creating Effective Presentation Slides/Media:
1. This is not the place to create an advertisement for your organization or product. Rather, your presentation is a chance to inform and educate attendees on key industry material. You may be asked to resubmit your slides.
2. Before you create your visuals, ask yourself:
- What information will my audience want to take away from my presentation?
- What can I do so the visual information that I’m providing can motivate attendees to action?
3. Use the simplest terms and relationships
4. Use a consistent format and an easy-to-read font for your slides
5. Convey one point or comparison per visual
6. Carefully proofread your transcript, charts, graphics; you are the best judge of technical accuracy
7. Show only highlights on each slide; YOU are there to provide additional information
8. Provide your slides in the same order as your talk
9. Keep a copy of all your slides and email us your final version or bring back up on USB/Jump/Flash drive

Tips for Creating an Effective Workbook :
1. Workbook will be printed in black and white
2. A title/cover page showing the title of the course and the instructor’s name, affiliation, and copyright information (if applicable)
3. A table of contents
4. Divide workbook into sections, logically conformed and organized to the key-point principles of your presentation
5. Provide supporting information in a variety of forms: checklists; diagrams; charts; case studies; forms; samples; flow charts; article reprints (be sure to obtain reprint permission from the publisher!); vendors; materials; a glossary (essential if your course is technical), etc. The best workbooks contain a large variety of reference material rather than being simply all article reprints, all text, all slide copies, and so on. Including a variety of materials greatly enhances its use as a valuable “reference tool,” as well as providing flexibility and additional resources for meeting audience needs. Questionnaires, games, or quizzes can provide both a change of pace in your teaching segment and provide opportunity for interaction with and among the audience.
6. Provide a bibliography that will also be a key part of the “reference tool” aspect of your workbook. Give attendees any helpful information someone interested in the field would want to know: professional books, magazines, journals, societies, meetings, organizations, and other information sources you have to share.
7. Number pages
8. Remember that the purpose of your workbook is to enhance your presentation, not BE your presentation! It is not a replacement for your effectiveness as an instructor, and it is not a textbook. You, the instructor, are there to provide the text of the program.
