Students will be introduced to basic principles of design for presentation including typography, placement of graphic elements, appropriate use of colour and motion. Hardware and software used for computer acquisition and production of text, graphics, animation, audio and video will be examined and used to produce a variety of presentation materials appropriate to the work of educators.

The importance of effective presentation as an aid to professional communication will be emphasised throughout the course.
