Ans. Statistics have shown that 83 percent of what we learned is through sight and this makes it imperative that any oral presentation should have visual aids. Visual aids bold the audience's attention and stimulate their interest. While planning to prepare oral presentations, one should decide beforehand, when, which, where and how many aids to use.
The choice of visuals depends upon the topic, the kind of audience and the availability of the aid. Visual aids can be in the form of charts, handouts, diagrams, slides, transparencies or objects. One can use visuals to mark the main points of one's presentation. A list of key terms and definitions can be given which the speaker can refer to during his presentation. A list of Key terms and definitions can be given which the speaker can be referred to during his presentation. Key concepts can be illustrated in diagram form and referred to during the presentation. Diagrams of objects, showing their salient features and illustrating their components can also be used. Charts are the easiest and the most popular form. It's however difficult to give them a finished and neat look. Another type of visual aids is printed handouts, which are copies of what the speaker is going to say. The advantage is that the audience is able to become familiar with the subject matter beforehand and the disadvantage is that can take away the audience's attention if they start reading it while the presentation is going on.
Nowadays, visuals are most commonly in the form of transparencies which are displayed through an overhead projector. The matter to be displayed is written on paper, photocopied and transparencies are made, Another form of visuals are powerpoint presentations or slides. These are prepared on a computer and then displayed during a presentation. Actual objects can also be visually displayed and used for demonstrating and illustrating one's subject matter.
One should keep certain points in mind while using visuals in one's presentation. The visual should not be displayed beforehand because this can distract the audience's attention. When used, the visual should be displayed in such a way that it is clearly visible to the entire audience. The speaker should stand
on one side of the visual and use a pointer to refer to it. The visual should be simple and sharp, and not cluttered with too much text since that would make it difficult to understand. If one plans the use of visuals properly and keeps these points in mind while using visuals, One can make the presentation more vivid and interesting.
