- Interrupt the lecture- small group discussion, large group discussion, questions- yours and theirs… Involve the class/audience as much and as often as possible
- Effective use of PowerPoint slides- What to show, what not to show, how to use the slides
- Speak the students’, or audience’s language, and making the presentation fit the audience
- Move away from the board or the podium; get as close to the audience as possible
