Guided Principles
Sustained attention lasts about ten minutes
Note on time limit: aim for around 7 minutes to keep students engaged in topic
Another note on time limit; it coincides greatly with limiting on screen words because you're being selective
Reading a computer screen is harder than reading paper
Contrast matters; black text on a white screen is easier than white text on a black screen
Large point size, which will help eliminate amount of text used
Break text down, do put too much; be aware of how much text you have versus what you can narrate
People process information better in bite-sized chunks
Don't give too much information at once
Progressive disclosure; new concept!
Extra note: Look into
Dont make me think
