1/ Slide layout
– The design of the slide matches the objects on the slide
– The slide must have a title, the title needs to be attached to the Layout.
– A slide should not have more than one topic, no more than 6 sub-contents in 1 topic.
– A content usually no more than 2 lines.
– Consistent language, consistent colors, consistent style.
– Use appropriate colors and images, appropriate templates.
*Color wheel based dithering rules:
-> Adjacent colors are in harmony with each other: Yellow – Green.
-> Colors opposite each other are contrasting colors.
(Contrasting colors increase readability (Example: Organe on Blue)
2/ Font – font style – effects on Slide:
– Use easy-to-read fonts (Arial, Tahoma, Times New Roman)
– Do not use too many effects, effects on slides must be in sync with each other.
– Do not use all capital letters.

3/ Background:
– Use the same background for slides.
– Red and orange are high energy colors but can make it difficult to focus.
– Green, blue, brown… are colors with softer energy but do not attract strong attention.
– Red and green colors are difficult for people who are color blind. Avoid bright colors on a white background.
4/ Images, multimedia objects on slides
– The human brain has the ability to process images faster, so many new teaching methods focus on presenting problems in pictures to help learners absorb easier and remember longer.
– Start by replacing phrases with pictures, for example: instead of saying “phones are so advanced these days”, look for an image of a smartphone on the slide. Of course, you also need to research who the audience is to be able to choose the image accordingly.
– Images should be positioned in accordance with the content (if any), be creative, break the position and style (Picture Styles)
– Multimedia files such as videos and photos will make your slides richer and more attractive to students.
