Visual aids provide several ways to communicate with audiences during a presentation. There are many forms of visual aids are available to enhance a presentation such as multimedia slides, overhead transparencies, handouts, flipcharts or whiteboards, video and props, etc.
- Multimedia Slides: using excellent software programs
such as Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Keynote, Adobe Presenter or Corel
Presentations, they can help presenter to create dynamic, colourful
presentations on the personal computer, and it is shown on a TV monitor, a
screen or a panel.
- Overhead Transparencies: a very useful tool found in most
meeting areas, classrooms or conference rooms. It is used to display and
enlarges the images or photographs onto a screen or wall.
- Flipcharts or whiteboards: using large pads of paper
sheets on an easel, it is a very useful and flexible way for presenter
emphasizes key points, or main ideas during the presentation. The
presenter also able to use it for collecting ideas and responses from the
audience.
- Handouts: with sheets of paper
containing topical information, they are distributed to people whom
attending a speech, lecture, or meeting. The information on the sheets
would be explaining by the presenter for the audience during the
presentation.
- Video: a very helpful tool in a
presentation, it gives the presenter a chance to show stimulating visual
information and sends information to audience through a sequence of
images.
- Props: physical objects are used
to help a presenter explain the topic for the audience; props also help
the presenter to attracting attention from the audience.
I’m wondering how to choice a right type for a presentation . Let me your experience in the comments.
