Multimedia Design in Theory and Practice

Learning theories confirm that the best way to instruct students with multimedia tools is to keep it simple. The narration should accompany the visuals. Extraneous sounds and visuals should be eliminated.

Steve Jobs is a terrific presenter. To watch a master at work, view one of his WWDC keynote presentations.

Hi Barb-

I know you love Jobs, and I can't blame you. He is an amazing presenter who lives what he presents. He owns the room, the audience and the content.

So, what about others? You saw Garr Reynolds presend, how did he rate? I found his talk as one of hundreds given in a series to Google audiences - check them out at YouTube AtGoogleTalk. There are many presenteres shown, don't watch them all, you would never be able to come up for air, but I also would hate for you to limit yourself to one "expert" on presenting.
