Thanks , Maja, for giving this challenge: I'd like to give some ideas that came to my mind:
In online session the slides must support overcoming the problems that are unique to synchronous session.. language problems , audio problems , lack of feedback and bodytalk .
For example the language issue: For many non-native listeners reading the slides and understanding that takes time..when at the same time listening to the presenter. Just like in classroom, also in online session the presenter should pay attention he has the appropriate pace. But further to reduce the language issue I would propose the following slide enhancements:
- use more graphics and animations: they need no translation.
- Use simple , short, but full sentences in slides.
- Upload your speaker notes / slides onto web and give the link in the beginning of the session - people can use google translate to follow your presentation better.
For a presenter it might be a good exercise to imagine being a meeting participant who - for some reason - cannot hear anything. Would it have an impact on the slide design ?
