This is the final chapter of our online course trilogy on professional visualization and presentation of scientific data.

Course III: Perfect PowerPoint

Four months ago, we have started our journey towards better presentation of scientific data. Now it is time to shape up the basis of a good oral presentation – our slides. A PowerPoint slide deck is more than just a collection of figures. It has to be well formatted, easy to follow, and ideally it tells a catchy story.

 

Why should you join?

In this course, you will learn how to build a great slide deck using PowerPoint.

The course is divided into two main parts:

Part 1: PowerPoint Basics

  • Key tenets of good scientific storytelling.
  • Important design principles for figures, text, colors, fonts, …
  • Tips for your presentation.

Part 2: Hands-on PowerPoint

  • Learn how to set up PowerPoint for consistent and well-designed slides.
  • How to avoid common mistakes for a better presentation?
  • Small changes with big impact.

 

Earn your certificate

Participants who have completed all videos of the course by February 21, will receive a Confirmation of Participation as PDF for download.

Moreover, all participants will have the opportunity to earn an additional Certificate of Achievement by participating in a practical exercise of refining a given slide deck and peer-reviewing the work of other participants. A detailed description of the task will be available on the course platform.
