A Electronic submission Is a presentation that uses a multimedia tool such as images, audio, electronic files, etc., which Are transmitted through the internet by some electronic device (mobile, computer, etc). They are the opposite of a personal presentation.
The digital technology that is currently available can help create presentations that are not only informative but also reusable.
Many of the electronic presentations are created with popular software like Power Point, Freelance, Corel Presentations, Astound or Prezi, among others.
These programs offer a common method of presenting information to a variety of audiences in the field of business, government, education, etc.
Its use is becoming commonplace in school classrooms, both for students and for teachers.
Electronic presentation software is a powerful tool for creating and displaying electronic presentations that can include a variety of effects like animation, sound and clipboard.
Electronic presentations are generally more effective when using a projector and an LCD screen that provides proper visibility for the audience.
Electronic presentations
Creating an effective electronic presentation generally consists of the same important elements that are part of any presentation: content, visual effects, and the act of presentation.
The content is generally a summary of the research that has been conducted independently of the creation of the electronic presentation.
Copyright considerations apply to electronic presentations as well as to any form of research and literature.
The storyboard technique of creating a slide diagram next to each other in the presentation, ensures better planning and sequencing of the electronic presentation.
Before creating a presentation you must have clear knowledge of the audience to be presented and the general purpose of the presentation. This way you can get a better reach of the message you want to convey.
Tips for creating a good electronic presentation
Content
A home page should be created that includes the project title, author's name, course information and teacher's name (if applicable), date, and appropriate graphics. A table of contents should also be included.
In addition, appropriate use should be made of headlines and subheadings. The text should include only the most important points of the work, grouped appropriately.
Ideally, phrases identified by bullets should be used instead of complete sentences.
Also, the use of data tables should be avoided. The relevant information should be selected and displayed in a graphical format if possible.
You should also limit the amount of text per slide, a maximum of seven lines is generally appropriate.
Some form of transition from slide to slide should be provided to mark the continuity of the presentation.
Appropriate graphics should be carefully selected to integrate with the text. The final slide should leave a strong impression on the audience; The most common is that it is a summary of the information or a call to action.
Finally, copyright laws should be respected for all text and graphics used. The presentation should also include a bibliography and credits.
Visual effects
You should create or select a format to use for all slides. You select a background and text colors that provide a contrast so that the audience does not have problems viewing the presentation. The incorporation of a font style that is clear to read is indispensable.
Usually, the font size should be at least 24 points so it can be read by all the people in a room; Sizes up to 44 points are often accepted. If you want to emphasize, you should use italics or bold instead of changing the font size.
The selection of graphics should be careful so that it can be used in moderation. The determination of the size of the graphs should be done based on their visibility. The graphics should be integrated with the text for a greater benefit of the presentation.
Do not abuse special effects; Should be used sparingly. It should be remembered that effects should not compete for attention with the content of the presentation as such.
It is advisable to add any image, audio, or animation only if it increases or complements the message to be transmitted.
In general, various techniques, such as formatting, colors, letters, vignettes, layout, graphics, and special effects should be used to create a sense of unity and continuity throughout the entire electronic presentation.
Presentation
Before the presentation, a review should be conducted to have a greater impact on the audience. It is always a good idea to have a colleague see the presentation and feedback .
You should also perform a test with all equipment, including computer and projector or screen, before making the presentation. This way you can make any adjustments before the final presentation.
The presenter should be facing the audience, preferably standing in front of the room near the screen. You may consider using an assistant to operate the computer and advance the slides.
The presenter can use notes prepared to expand at the key points identified on the slides. This way you can prevent the author from reading the text of the slides.
It should be noted that as in a conventional presentation, volume and clarity are important. Visual contact with the audience should be maintained and the pace should allow questions from the audience.
