Description
When you present before an audience it requires you to hold their attention, and keep them engaged with what you are saying. But not everyone is a born orator. In fact, most researchers confess to being uncomfortable speaking in front of other people. An expert tip is to use different visual aids to enhance your presentations, explain your findings simply, grab your audience’s attention, and make an impact with your presentation.
This course reveals some easy-to-follow strategies and practical tips to help you add visual aids to your oral presentation to captivate your audience. It introduces you to the different types of visuals, and shares various tools and aids you can use to enhance your presentation. You will also learn how to use additional elements, such as animation or imagery, to make a lasting impression. By the end of the course, you will understand which areas need attention, both before and during your talk, and will be able to create and deliver a stellar presentation.
