Kal Telage, of the Department of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, recently presented a PowerPoint presentation, "Strategies for Building PowerPoint Architecture for E-Learning."

The paper was given at the International Conference on Teaching and Learning in Jacksonville, Florida. 

The presentation applied data from a series of experimental classroom learning studies that support using a variety of architectural strategies to facilitate visually enhanced learning for recall, association and integration. Examples such as concretizing, illustration, concept mapping, etc. (to name only a few) were demonstrated.

In addition, dynamic PowerPoint attributes such as color, animation, and inserted video and sound were employed in slide construction to create visuosity, attentional inertia, and visual momentum.
