Good day everyone for assignment 3, I decided to modify my week three post. In this post, I explained what Gamification is and what Game-Based Learning was, and I also gave the misconceptions about both Gamification and Game-Based Learning. In my earlier post, I had not organized my points properly and they were all over the place. In week 4 we had learning from a Ted Talk video by David JP Philips, on how to properly deliver a presentation in a PowerPoint format or an infographic format to your audience. Which led to why I created a presentation to lay down my points properly. In the Ted Talk, David Philips had six key takeaways which helped me in creating this assignment. The first takeaway was having only one idea per slide, this is because having a lot of ideas on one slide could confuse the reader and they may lose interest in what the person is saying. the human brain can only handle a limited amount of text before it starts to wander away. Which brings us to the second takeaway from the video which was to not have more than 6 objects per slide. The third takeaway was that the presenter did not read from the slide as having a lot of writing can make people lose their concentration on you. which pears with the next takeaway which was to use an illustrative image and short text on a slide and then tell the rest of your story via narration. Next was to make sure the most important thing on your slide is the most prominent. Lastly was to use contrast to move your audience around the information on your slide. While creating this presentation I made sure that I tried to meet up with all the takeaways that I learned from the ted talk. Though some of my slides have a lot of words in them as the class is online, I still tried in minimizing the number of words I had per slide. I also used contrast in my PowerPoint to engage the readers. Furthermore, I limited the number of objects per slide by only having no greater than four points in them.
I Just want to thank everyone for taking the time to go through this assignment.
