Quick Facts

Professional presentation document shown to a department of talent development professionals at a Fortune 500 company
My role: Designer, writer, and developer
I used learning theory source material to give a talk on Mayer's Multimedia Principles
Tools used:
- Canva
- PowerPoint

Role

I was asked by my leadership to share learning principles that had been guiding my recent work on eLearning deliverables.
I developed the presentation using a Canva template and PowerPoint.
Notice the incorporation of the actual principles into the slides. This made for a fun and engaging presentation.

Scope

This artifact is an original document that I created. It was used at a one-time event for a presentation.

Context

This presentation was used during a monthly meeting in my talent development department at J.B. Hunt.
I used the presentation as I gave a 15 minute talk on Richard Mayer's multimedia principles and their use in eLearning.
My colleagues seemed to enjoy the material as we discussed its the visuals on each slide as well as the possible applications in our day-to-day work.

Conditions

I was given a couple of weeks' notice prior to creating the document and presenting at the meeting.
The presentation document served as a visual guide for the talk that I gave to my department.

Competencies Shown:

Communication

This artifact was used when I gave a professional presentation at my previous company. Some of the multimedia principles are demonstrated within the slides themselves which made for an engaging talk with my colleagues.

Analysis

The analysis for this product is minimal. I used Mayer's principles as the substance of the presentation, but presented the information in a memorable way.

Design

The design choice for the artifact is minimalist with the idea that learners would engage with the visuals in the slideshow as well as the verbal processing of my talk - dual processing theory in action. Slide #4 asked the viewer to guess the principle in action by using visuals - which was the point of the slide.

Technology and Media

The presentation was created in Canva and PowerPoint, common presentation tools. Colleagues commented that they enjoyed the talk as well as the easy to understand visuals on-screen.

Management

Management here was minimal. During the presentation, management of group discussion was crucial to facilitate conversation around how to incorporate these principles into future iterations of eLearning content.

Personal and Interpersonal

A secondary outcome of this presentation was that I became a bit more respected on my team. My colleagues seemed to enjoy learning the science of why I did what I did for learning products. They came away knowing a bit more about Mayer's principles and how they could be used during both eLearning and instructor-led training.
