Make your SlideCasts a little more attractive
Many teachers produce online presentations from existing slides. However, those who comment on their presentation without an audience sometimes appear slightly "restrained" on the recording. For this reason, and because an online presentation is not a live presentation, a few aspects should be considered to ensure that the presentations remain appealing.
Length
Divide long presentations into portions of 15 minutes maximum. Research reports high drop-out rates for longer presentations.
Visuals
The time of “text deserts” on slides is over. Use large illustrations, pictures, graphics to complement the oral commentary.
Form
Avoid "text-image-scissors", the visualization must be synchronized with the oral presentations. Don't use too long "still images", build the visualizations in addition to the commentary .
Acoustic
The audio track is often underestimated! Use a good microphone or headset, record in a small room with books or curtains to reduce reverb as much as possible.
Personal
What fascinates(d) you about the topic? Reactivate the corresponding emotions and you will present differently. The enthusiasm of presenters has been proven to have a strong motivating effect.
Interactive
Stimulate cognitively by inserting short pauses for reflection. Prepare interesting and level-appropriate questions about the content.
Content
Put a statement/example/problem at the beginning, then disclose the development. Even better is a well thought-out dramaturgy. Try to tell a "story".
Rhetorical
Clear language, pauses between sentences, no "tapeworm sentences".
Didactical
Online presentations are merely learning content in multimedia form. What should the target group do with this information? Assign tasks to process the information.
Technical
Use familiar technology or tools that you can handle within a reasonable amount of time. Focus on content and activities.
