   RE: [xml-dev] The Cognitive Style of PowerPoint

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

Which favors a speaker one can actually look at and 
listen to comfortably.

There is no difference.

Entertainers do favor this style, but the style favors more than 
entertainers.

In one of the better small-room (< 100 people) talks I have seen, the 
speaker put up a table, about six columns and six rows, with row and 
column headers and each box containing one or two text words, and 
proceeded to talk about it for 20 minutes. Far from not giving you any 
hooks to hang your memories on, the table was exactly what you needed to 
carry away. And, of course, since you can't stare at a table for 20 
minutes, most of the time was spent watching and actually listening to 
the speaker. ;-}
