A little talk about Quality
12
Quality Control Size/Amount

• There is a set amount of text that is appropriate
  on any one slide or page.
• The most bullet points you want is 4-5.
• If you include any more than that, your audience
  will not be able to concentrate on your point.
• They will just see a sea of text and lose their
  attention for what you want them to learn. They
  will start playing around, and soon youll have a
  classroom management problem on your hands.
• You also might lose your place as you are
  presenting.
• Use short words or phrases.
• If you use full sentences, that means you are
  probably using words that will distract students
  from the main points.
• Sometimes you can use words that will help cue
  you as the teacher, but your students will still
  need to listen for the details.

13
Quality Control Graphics

• Clear and the right size (not too small!)
• Appropriate for the topic, not just decoration

14
Quality Control Limit Motion

• If you are trying to make a point,
• Your students need to focus on the content.
• If you have too many things happening,
• They will focus on spinny things instead of on
  what you are saying.

15
Quality Control Contrast

• For readability, use text and background colors
  that are opposites

Light on Dark GOOD!
Dark on Light GOOD!
Distracting color schemes BAD!
