Interaction Narration Event Sequence Text There is a lot of excitement around this year s keynote presentation at WidgetCon The Acme Widget Company plans to announce its revolutionary new line of widgets at the convention.

3 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING 3 Page Title: This is Dan Image of Dan Placeholder for now. Interaction Event Sequence Text Audio Narrator This is Dan. He sells widgets.

4 4 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING Page Title: The Presentation Graphic of a speaker at a podium with a very bad PowerPoint slide behind him. Interaction Event Sequence Text Audio Dan I just don t understand it. People at WidgetCon are always excited to hear the news from Acme. I usually make a quarter of my yearly sales at the convention. When I spoke about the new wonder widget the audience was terrible. One guy in the front row fell asleep on me. People looked bored. What am I doing wrong????? Audio Narrator Why don t we look at a few of your slides?

5 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING 5 WHAT IS A WIDGET Placeholder name for an object or, more specifically, a mechanical or other manufactured device. It is an abstract unit of production.[1] The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "An indefinite name for a gadget or mechanical contrivance, esp. a small manufactured item" and dates this use back to 1931; but the term appears in George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart's 1924 play "Beggar on Horseback"[2]. It states that the origin is "perhaps U.S." and for etymology suggests that it may be a variant of gadget.[3] In law, when discussing a hypothetical situation the term is used to represent any type of personal property, with the corresponding term Blackacre used to represent any type of real property. In such use, the widget or Blackacre has whatever characteristics are relevant to the scenario. So, if the object being discussed needs to be a liquid, then the widget is liquid. If it needs to be solid, light, heavy, manufactured, naturallyoccurring or whatever, the widget has the necessary characteristics. Page Title: Dan s Slide #1 This is an image of Dan s slide #1. It s all text that s hard to read on a bright yellow background. Retrieved from Interaction Event Sequence Text Audio Dan Look at how great this slide is. I used a really cool font and I love how the colors look together. Plus I take the time to tell the people what a widget is because they don t really know. This slide is killer! Audio Narrator Killer?? It s painful to read, I ll give you that. Do you provide sunglasses when you speak? Audio Dan No one needs to read the slide, I read everything to them. Audio Instructions Narrator Before moving on to the next screen, write in your workbook (page X) a few

6 6 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING improvements Dan could make to his presentation.

7 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING 7 Page Title: Suggestions for Dan Slide #1 Suggestions for Improvement 1. The slide is easier to read by increasing the font size and reducing the amount of text. He could even change the font. 2. The bright yellow background makes the slide difficult to read. Changing the color of the slide would help. 3. Dan doesn t know his audience. Attendees to a conference about widgets probably know what one is. 4. Dan read the entire definition from the screen.

Audio Narrator Before moving on to the next screen, write in your workbook (page X) a few improvements Dan could make to his presentation.

9 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING 9 Page Title: Suggestions for Dan s Slide #2 Suggestions for Improvement 1. Four charts are too much for one page. Dan should limit the slide to one chart or just the pertinent information. 2. The font is too small to read on this page 3. The color combinations are difficult to read. 4. Dan changes fonts again. His font choices should be consistent. Image of Dan s slide #1. The narrator s comments appear as the learner clicks on the numbers.

24 24 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING Page Title: VAK Discussion of Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic uptake. From Russell AL Fieldbook pp Maybe change the graphics since they are different than the other slides? See it. Hear it. Do it. Interaction Event Sequence Interaction Audio Narrator The information that you present needs to reach the audience so each individual can filter it through to his or her brain. People intake information in three ways Visual, Auditory or Kinesthetic. Perhaps an easier way to remember how individuals take in information is See it, Hear it, and Do it. (feel it and experience it ) Russell p.49

25 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING 25 Audio Dan I understand the See it and Hear it parts. What about the Do it part. When I give my presentation I m the only one who is doing anything. Audio Narrator That s not necessarily true Dan. If someone in the audience takes notes she is actually doing something during the presentation. Kinesthetic people learn by doing or feeling something. The actual process of taking notes helps a kinesthetic or do it person retain information. Even evoking emotion helps these people learn new information since they also respond to how emotions make them feel. Audio Dan Oh I see.

37 STORYBOARD FOR PRESENTATION TRAINING 37 Page Title: Break the rules Slide discussing the 7 X 7 Rule Interaction Event Sequence Interaction Audio Dan Have you ever heard of the 7 x 7 rule for PowerPoint? You know 7 words per line, 7 lines or bullet points per slide? Like most people who will watch your presentation you re reading the slide and not paying attention to what I m saying.

Vanilla, then chocolate, and strawberry. If you are in the audience in a large lecture hall you can t read the key to the chart. Plus it s a pretty boring slide. What if we rearranged things a little bit? Say we want to let our audience know that vanilla is the most popular flavor at the ice cream shop.
