This web page challenges PowerPoint's default structure of a single word or short phrase headline supported by a bullet list. Rather than subscribing to Microsoft's topic-subtopic design for slides, this web page advocates an assertion-evidence structure, which is shown in Figure 1 and which serves presentations that have the purpose of informing and persuading audiences about technical content. This structure, which features a sentence-assertion headline supported by visual evidence, is documented in Chapter 4 of The Craft of Scientific Presentations , a November 2005 article in Technical Communication, and the presentation "Rethinking the Design of Presentation Slides." Figure 1. Example of a well designed slide . Four key assumptions exist for using the assertion-evidence structure. The first is that slides are an appropriate visual aid for the presentation. Too often, slides are projected when no visual aid would better serve the presentation. Second, the success of the presentation hangs on the audience understanding the content. Third, the slides projected during the presentation differ significantly from the handout that a speaker might leave with the audience. For instance, the slides projected during the presentation cannot afford to have as much text on it as the handout does, because the audience is not only reading the projected slides, but listening to the speaker as well. Finally, the primary purpose of the slides is to help the audience understand the content, rather than to provide talking points for the speaker. For a number of years, others have advocated an assertion-evidence structure for slides in engineering and scientific presentations. These advocates include Larry Gottlieb (Lawrence Livermore National Lab), Hugh Keedy (Vanderbilt), Bob Leedom (Northrop Grumman), Jean-luc Doumont ( Principiæ ), and Cliff Atkinson ( Sociable Media ). In addition, instructors such as Rick Gilbert and his team of trainers at PowerSpeaking, Inc., have recently started teaching this slide structure. To make it easier for you to adopt this structure, this web page provides a special PowerPoint template that you can download to your computer and modify to communicate your content to your audience. Also, to provide you with models, this web-page presents several student and professional examples that follow this structure.
