In our learning process, we found that learning through multimedia is a very efficient way to learn. At the same time, if we want to have a better learning experience, we need to know more about multimedia design theory and use multimedia tools to complete.

First of all, we need to know some design ideas and principles before we start our instructional design. Accroding to Kurt’s (2015) report, The instructional design principle has 6 parts：

  1. In instructional design. Learners are the most important.
  2. Instructional design must have a clear goal
  3. Instructional design need to show in the real world
  4. Instructional design have to have a reliable and valid way to measure results
  5. Instructional design is empirical
  6. Instructional design usually requires a team effort and teamwork

After understanding the design principles, it is time to use the PowerPoint to present. But showing a good PowerPoint presentation also requires attention to the following points. Accroding to David’s presentation, A good PowerPoint is as concise as possible, with one idea on a page, no more than six objects, and using illustrative images and as little text as possible, It is better not to read the PowerPoint, but to let the audience read it. Make sure the most important things on the slide are the most prominent.
