Alex Grech's curator insight, October 9, 2013 4:18 PM

It's the first time I've taught undergraduates.  I've found myself stripping slides to the core message and trying to find visuals that can communicate that message quickly, simply and yet - resonate.  There is nothing as tough as trying to unclutter the mind and focus on what really needs to be said - as opposed to 'making a point' or simply 'showing off'.  This presentation is about the art of visuals, clear design, and keeping it 'stupidly simple'.

While beautiful Powerpoint may seem like an oxymoron  this slideshow proves it is possible.

yesm we cultivate our social knowledge not by stratefies or tech effects in themselves but by focusing on the content which is this case is provided by the curator. If if this seems much like traditional learning is because, in pricipke, they are. The difference has access to more sources of information and be wise in the choice of what is being taught

The mark of a good capacity builder is one that knows how to listen and ask questions - and insert their knowledge at the right moment.  Not one that has to constantly show off how much they know.
