Media+Presentation


 * Media Presentation**

A media presentation involves the use of various media to present information and ideas. The presentation could involve such formats as audiotape or videotape, presentation slide shows, or multimedia graphics using sound systems, television or computer monitors, overhead projections. The presentations can increase interest in a topic by providing currency and variety and by appealing to different learning styles, such as visual-spatial styles. Presentations may be interactive and involve some form of audience participation. Presentation graphics software automates the creation of visual aids for lectures, skills training sessions, and group presentations, often in the form of colourful and animated slides and handouts.
