Beyond the Bullet Point - Slides that keep attention

Do you use multimedia presentations in your classes, but haven't really focused on design aspects yet?

Would you like to create visually appealing presentations to keep your students more attentive and motivated?

The eye is the most important channel of perception for humans when it comes to absorbing information. That's why the slides we use to support our presentations are so important.
