What type of things can I use it for?

This type of presentation is used by a person who wants to find out information from it.

Instead of going through each slide in order the user is given the option by clicking on a button of selecting the information

they need.

It could be used with a touch screen.

What do I need to consider?

You need to think about your user and the information they will need.

Remember to design your presentation with the user in mind:

•who are your audience?

•what are their requirements?

•will they need instructions? (for example would they be able to use the buttons below?)

How can I test my presentation?

improvements – things that seem clear to you may not be to other people
