PowerPoint Creation Tips: Font

When creating a PowerPoint presentation, one of the first things you will want to do while setting up your Master Slide will be to select a font. Choosing a clear, crisp font is best as they tend to be easiest to read. A few fonts that fall into that category are Arial, Arial Rounded MT Bold, Century Gothic, Comic Sans MS, Tahoma, Verdana, and Microsoft Sans Serif. There are, of course, numerous other fonts available in PowerPoint that are both clear and crisp. If you have selected a font, but have found that it appears to be too faint, do not be afraid to bold it. Not only can bolding help make your text really pop within a PowerPoint, but it is also an excellent way to accent or highlight the more important parts of your text as you build the presentation. Shadowing, underlining, and italicizing are also all excellent tools to help showcase portions of your text.

Two very important things to keep in mind while building out your presentation are font size and spacing. In terms of font size, slide titles tend to look best anywhere from size 38 to size 44, while slide text tends to look best in a hierarchy of 32, 28, 24, 20 - or - 28, 24, 20, 18. Please note, however, that depending on the font you have chosen, these numbers may vary. Any font that is below size 18 or 20 tends to become hard to read for the end user. In terms of font spacing, anything between .85 and 1 between lines generally is easiest to read. Once you dip below .85 in the line spacing, the text begins to look squished together.
_______________________________________________________________________

To adjust the line spacing of your text in PowerPoint 2003:
- Highlight the text or select the text box
- Click on the “Format” drop down menu & select "Line Spacing" from the list

- The "Line Spacing" box will open

- Adjust the spacing and click "OK"
_________________________________________________________

To adjust the line spacing of your text in PowerPoint 2007:
- Click on the Line Spacing icon from the “Home” menu & select “Line Spacing Options…” from the drop down menu

- Adjust the options in the “Line Spacing” section of the “Paragraph" box that opens

- Adjust the spacing and click "OK"
________________________________________________________

When adding in text to your slides, it is also very important not to overcrowd the slide with text. If you have a lot of information that pertains to one topic, it may be best to break it down into several slides as opposed to trying to fit it all on one slide. See below for an example of an overcrowded slide:

See below for an example of how much easier the information is to read once broken out over two slides:

Utilizing the above tips will keep the information in your PowerPoint presentations uncluttered and able to be easily read by your end users.

CentreLearn at Vital Signs-Rochester New York

This year’s Vital Signs show will be held in Rochester, NY. The CentreLearn sales staff is thrilled to take part in the show this year. The show attracts over a hundred vendors each year, so what is it that makes these shows so appealing to exhibitors? Is it the lights and the excitement of a show? Is it the ability to travel to great places? Is it the face time with EMS professionals from NY and beyond? All of those things together make the shows a great place to be. But, if I had to pick one reason that makes me want to be there more than anything else it would the opportunity to meet, mingle and hear from our current customer base. It is very rewarding to hear from our customers that they are using our LMS system and they love it. There is something wonderful about shaking their hands and having an in person conversation. It’s fantastic to have them recommend to their friends and colleagues to take a good look at what CentreLearn has to offer. Most of all we get the rare opportunity to tell them in person “thank you for trusting us with your training needs”.

The CentreLearn Sales staff will be at Vital Signs Show in Rochester, NY. This year’s conference will be held October 15-18, 2009 at the Riverside Convention Center.

Please come visit us at booth # 318 during exhibitor’s hours to review new system features such as Compliance Tracking, Assignment Tasking, Lecture and Quiz Time Tracking, and Team Learning.

PowerPoint Creation Tips: Image Use

When creating a PowerPoint presentation, images can often add quite a bit to the educational content. However, there are a few things to watch out for when adding images.

• Copyright Issues: Be careful when adding images that they are not copyrighted. This would include stills from TV shows, magazine and news websites, movies, etc... Including these types of images in your presentation could be considered copyright infringement.

• Image Placement: Be careful when placing your images on the PowerPoint slide that they do not cover important text or hang off of the slide. If either of these two things occurs, important information may not successfully be delivered to the user.

By following these guidelines, you can easily enhance your PowerPoint presentation to deliver educational content to your users.

C-Spine Injuries in Athletics

This past weekend was the first big weekend of football fan work for me this year. I watched the Wisconsin Badgers beat Fresno State on TV and was lucky enough to watch the Packers beat the Bears at Lambeau Field with my best friend of the past 25 years. It was a great game (for Packer fans like me)!

Many EMS professionals provide standby coverage at all levels of athletic competition. With resumption of school year it might be a good time to refresh assessment and care of c-spine injuries. The CentreLearn course library features a two part course by Keith Owsley, paramedic and athletic trainer, that is based on the consensus care guidelines of the National Athletic Trainers Association (pre-hospital care of the spine injured athlete). The lessons are two of the most popular courses we have produced.

Last week a user commented that the photos in the course feature "old style helmets that have ear holes." Keith and I are both aware of newer helmets that don't have ear holes or don't have ear holes that are round as shown in the photos of the lesson. From my simple convenience sample of watching lots of college and pro football this past weekend I can say that helmets with ear holes are still widely used. I also asked Keith to comment and this is what he wanted to share:

"There are some newer style helmets out there that do not have the larger ear holes, I still do not feel they are the norm. Helmets with the ear holes are still very common; one simply needs to watch any major sporting event on television whether high school, collegiate, or professional to see that these helmet are the norm.

Even if the larger ear holes are not present, you can increase the width of the helmet to remove the helmet if this is necessary. However, it still remains, that very few incidents involving c-spine injuries in athletics requires full removal of the helmet. The preferred procedure continues to be that the helmet and shoulder pads remain in place while simply removing the facemask alone to allow full access to the face for treatment and airway management."

We always welcome and appreciate user comments and questions. It is important to remember that medicine is dynamic. The things we do now we might not do in the future. Always apply what you have learned in any CE lesson to the specifics of your agency's protocols and policies.

Audio Recording Tips

If you are planning on recording an audio file to accompany a PowerPoint presentation, there are a few things you can do to get the best quality recording possible:

• Choose 22.050 kHz, 16 bit, mono for the recording settings


• Record and save the file as a .WAV file


• Use an external microphone


• Do not place the microphone directly in front of your mouth; place it off to the side (this will avoid the ‘popping’ sounds)


• Be sure all electrical appliances near your computer are turned off (this will avoid an electrical ‘hum’ in your recording)


• Practice recording and listen to the results for quality (i.e. record a sample slide and listen to it to make sure it sounds as you would like it to sound before recording your actual presentation)


• Adjust your recording volume level and microphone placement as necessary after you listen to your practice recording, but try not to move the microphone during the recording as it may change the sound quality as well as the volume level

New "Forgotten Password" Logic in CentreLearn

We get a large number of tech support calls from users who have forgotten their username and/or password. So we decided to simplify the "forgotten password" logic on the Login page. If you have forgotten your username and/or password, click the "Forgot your password?" link on the Login page. The application will ask you to enter your email address. Enter your email address and submit your request. You will receive an email with your username and a hyperlink to the Reset Password page. Click the hyperlink in this email, or cut and paste the link into your browser's address bar. When the Reset Password page displays, enter a new password and confirm it. Then submit your request. The application will change your password and provide a hyperlink to the Login page.

You have 24 hours from the time you make the request to change your password. If the time limit expires, and you click the link in your email, you will be returned to the Login page. When this happens, simply click the "Forgot your password?" link on the Login page again, and submit another request.

So, if you have forgotten your username and/or password and you know your email address, you can reset your password. If you do not know your email address, tech support is standing by to help you.

Viewing in Full Screen Mode

Do you ever wish that you could make the content you’re viewing in CentreLearn appear larger? If you press the F11 key located on the top of your keyboard, your browser will be placed in Full Screen mode, hiding extra toolbars as well as the top portion of your browser window maximizing the screen space dedicated to your content window. When done viewing the lecture or other content, simply press F11 again to restore your browser to the normal view.

Are you using CentreLearn Discussion Boards?

The CentreLearn Learning Management System has a robust Discussion Board engine that unfortunately is overlooked by many of our clients. My sense is that most organizations are gun shy from opening up any opportunity for criticism or bad behavior on the part of employees and managers. There are ways to deal with problem posters by removing inappropriate posts or blocking offending users from further access. Setting up rules or suggestions regarding proper "netiquette" on a discussion board is a must. Here are some suggestions:

No swearing, degrading or inappropriate language
No name calling
No promoting business
Its ok to disagree with someone's statement or opinion, but do it respectfully
Avoid drinking and posting - your hilarious post may not be so funny tomorrow morning!

With a little bit of oversight by management, and basic common sense rule enforcement, discussion boards can be a source of great communication and feedback in any organization. Why not give it a try!
