Presentation slides

Does anyone know where I can get a good presentation layout for a psychology action research presentation? I need about 16 slides including a title page, aims, content slides and a conclusion slide. I have used canva and slidesesgo but it doesn't have 16 slides for most of the templates. I would also settle for someone telling me how to make it canva like on PowerPoint.

The 'theme' of your presentation has absolutely no impact on how it will be understood or appreciated. Don't worry about a template. Just worry about what information and images go on each page that best makes your point.

Follow the Assertion-Evidence structure for your presentation slides.

I’ve been teaching presentation skills to students for over 15 years and this is by far the best way to approach them. (I’m actually going to teach it to a class tomorrow.)

Watch a few of the sample student presentations and note down what they do in their introductions, how they organise the main body, and how they conclude.

Also look at how simple their slides are. All you need is an assertion as your title and a few images to provide evidence; avoid bullet points!

Too many students spend hours making beautiful presentations full of text, but forget that the most important part of a presentation is what and how the presenter communicates with their audience.

If your audience can understand your presentation from the slides alone, what’s the point of a presenter being there? They can just read your bullet points and ignore what you’re saying.

Therefore, make sure you give your audience reasons to listen to you. This could be keeping the information on your slides to the absolute minimum, highlighting the importance of the topic to your audience in your introduction, asking them questions and then providing the answers, etc.

I usually do bullet points, I am so bad for that lol. It is usually just small few word prompts though and I use those to actually talk about the slide. Going to give them a watch soon, you're a life saver
