1. 0 Implementing the theory requires relearning to use PowerPoint

2. 1 We have all been told to use graphics to make more effective PowerPoint presentations

3. 2 We end up using clip art "eye candy"

4. 3 “Tell them what you’re going to tell them, tell them, tell them what you told them”

5. 4 It has been a constant struggle to decide how to structure a presentation

6. 5 Start the presentation design with a design template, not PowerPoint

7. 6 Use the “BBP_template.xls” file that embodies the template

8. 7 Set up the story first

9. 8 Continue the design using the 3 x 3 x 3 template Key PointsExplanationsDetails 11 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 3 1 2 3 21 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 3 1 2 3 31 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 3 1 2 3

10. 9 Now implement the design in PowerPoint

11. 10 The sentence from each cell will become a slide title

12. 11 In the "Notes View," write the narrative for each slide

13. 12 Finally, add graphics to illustrate or reinforce the slide's message

14. 13 Achieving BBP results requires new resources

15. 14 BBP is shorthand for this design strategy

16. 15 Beyond Bullet Points (BBP) is Atkinson's approach to presentation design

17. 16 Duarte's "Slide:ology" complements BBP with advice about graphical design

18. 17 The BBP page on our wiki has links to these and other resources

19. 18 We need new templates to implement BBP

20. 19 The "BBP_template.xls" file contains the design template Key PointsExplanationsDetails 2 3 2 1 2 3 3 1 2 3 21 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 3 1 2 3 31 1 2 3 2 1 2 3 3 1 2 3

21. 20 The "SSCI_BBP_template.ppt" file contains the SSCI PowerPoint template Details (3 per explanation) Explanations (3 per Key Point) Storyboard Slide(s) Key Points (3 per presentation)

23. 22 Collaboration is key to achieving superior results

24. 23 Boris, Mark, and Bob found collaboration to be effective and useful

25. 24 Collaboration during design is more like pair-programming than peer review

26. 25 We’re collecting a gallery of BBP presentations on the wiki

27. 26 Recommendation Recap Just say “No!” to PowerPoint slides filled with text Allow your audience to “see” your slides and “listen” to your presentation Use your presentation to tell a story The 3 x 3 x 3 structure enhances your audience’s receptivity to your message During the creative process, four eyes are more than twice as good as two
