Thanks for the comments (and critique, nex) Presentation is not the main topic here, Anung, so currently i don't intend to write more about it. I hope the all the links are help enough. Sorry.

An appropriate English term would be 'video projector'. In the English-speaking world, a 'beamer' is a BMW car or maybe something from Star Trek. JFYI, Andreas: ‘Beamer’ is a German word.

It’s sweet, succinct and sensible… I’m a comp sci student and newbie part time lecturer, so I’m going to try to keep those tips in mind during my next class. I’m new to wordpress and I just happened to stumble across this post by accident… But I thought to myself, “what a coincidence!”, since it was only yesterday that I got my hands on an Effective Presentation video course (with Jeff Van West) from Lynda.com. That course focuses on making presentations in general (not just technical presentations), but I thought it was worth mentioning, since I think it is another great presentation resource. Jeff seems to know what he’s talking about and walks you through a step by step process to go about creating and delivering a presentation. I’ve barely started the 11 hour course, but he mentioned his 4 rules (which are somewhat similar to the 9 tips you mentioned) and how to go about implementing these rules. His 4 Rules to Effective Presentations: 1) CLARITY Knowing exactly what you want to say (and not to say) 2) SIMPLICITY Keep it as simple as possible for you audience to understand and no more 3) BREVITY Never use two words when one will do Remove redundancies. If there is a second example, it MUST show something new from the first The second exercise must teach a new task or contrast a last point. 4) HUMANITY How to build trust with you audience? Anyway, please keep the interesting post coming Andreas. Oh... if anyone is interested in the course that I mentioned, you may check it out at: http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=192 Hey Andreas,

That course focuses on making presentations in general (not just technical presentations), but I thought it was worth mentioning, since I think it is another great presentation resource. Jeff seems to know what he’s talking about and walks you through a step by step process to go about creating and delivering a presentation.

I’ve barely started the 11 hour course, but he mentioned his 4 rules (which are somewhat similar to the 9 tips you mentioned) and how to go about implementing these rules.

His 4 Rules to Effective Presentations:

1) CLARITY
Knowing exactly what you want to say (and not to say)

2) SIMPLICITY
Keep it as simple as possible for you audience to understand and no more

3) BREVITY
Never use two words when one will do
Remove redundancies.
If there is a second example, it MUST show something new from the first
The second exercise must teach a new task or contrast a last point.

4) HUMANITY
How to build trust with you audience?

Anyway, please keep the interesting post coming Andreas.

I would add the aspect of the talking itself: eye contact, loud-enough voice, tone. Listening to a presentation in which the presenting tends to murmur to himself or look at the ceiling instead of making ey contact with the audience is certainly not fun! Perhaps you could write a separate article on this? Really nice. I would add the aspect of the talking itself: eye contact, loud-enough voice, tone.
