Lucid Chart: Create Awesome Diagrams And Flowcharts For Presentations

Lucid Chart: Create Awesome Diagrams And Flowcharts For Presentations | Visual Design and Presentation in Education | Scoop.it
Lucid Chart is an online platform for creating powerful diagrams and flowcharts that can be used for creating presentations and for visual communication with your audience.

 

KF:  Of course these images can always be captured to illustrate information in other contexts besides presentations.  The resultant graphs/charts and diagrams can as easily be repurposed for LMS and social media.

Creative Commons licensed photos are a sort of internet miracle: By providing an easily-understood syntax for attribution and permissions, they make it possible to add visual interest to blog posts, web sites, syllabuses, presentations–anything you like, really. They also facilitate remixes and other forms of creative adaptation (or deformation), which can be useful in a wide variety of teaching and research contexts.

How Images Impact us Online [Infographic]

How Images Impact us Online [Infographic] | Visual Design and Presentation in Education | Scoop.it

This infographic is a fascinating look at images and the web and their affect on us when making decisions about a particular company, how important they are when it comes to selling products online and much more.

 

Here is one thing that caught my attention:

 

How images affect Social Engagement

 

Social media posts also benefit from adding photos. According to an analysis by Web Liquid (conducted pre-Timeline), Facebook posts with photos have the highest user engagement than any other post

Engagement rate with Facebook posts by type

 

*0.37% Photo

*0.31% Video

*0.27% Test Only

*0.15% Link

 

We are bombarded with too much text, images have a way of connecting with the reader that can persuade, create a connection, affect your decision to purchase a product and much more

Poster Frames for Videos in PowerPoint 2010 | Windows PowerPoint Tutorials

Poster Frames for Videos in PowerPoint 2010 | Windows PowerPoint Tutorials | Visual Design and Presentation in Education | Scoop.it
Learn how to add a Poster Frame for your video clips in PowerPoint 2010.

 

When you insert a video in your presentation, you might see that the placed video clip displays a blank or black screen on the slide, as shown in Figure 1 below. Until the clip actually starts playing in slide show view, your users will see this black rectangle, which doesn't look professional at all. With PowerPoint 2010's new Poster Frame feature, you can easily overcome this limitation, and change the black rectangle to an image by selecting a frame from the video itself, or even a picture from a different source. Also, the Poster Frame feature presents a good option for displaying a company logo or a picture of a speaker in the video. The Poster Frame that you add or insert to a video is a frame that appears first when you view the containing slide in a slide show.
