How to create participant-friendly slides for an online workshop
I am currently trying to write content for my workshop.
My general process for writing content appears to be “dump and cull”. I have a mind that always seems to be full, and so any kind of writing, whether it is email or a course or whatever, seems to be a process of dumping all relevant thoughts onto “paper” and then culling out that which isn’t useful.
So that’s how I started writing content for this course.
And then I hit a wall. I didn’t feel as though the final part of my workshop was coming together, and I also had a gazillion slides.
Knowledge
There are two topics that I want to eventually explore:
- What content to exclude/include In the workshop and how to offer that.
- How to make engaging slides that meet the purpose of the audience without overwhelming them.
Today, I am going to focus on how to create useful slides. I suspect that doing that will also help me to understand how I might recreate some of the content.
