“…[ 7 8 9 ] Indeed, a systematic review demonstrated that the most frequent advice given to presentation design was to keep slides simple, with little detail and text, the inclusion of phrases instead of sentences and utilizing simple tables and visuals with a paucity of animations. [ 10 ]…”

“…For example, audiences may change, with attendance of individuals who might not otherwise have been able to attend, requiring tailoring of presentation content and/or style. [ 10 ] In addition, paralanguage is partly lost in online presentations. Paralangauage is the nonlexical component of communication during speech, such as intonation, pitch and speed of speaking, hesitation noises, gasps, sighs, throat clearing, gestures, and facial expressions such as smiles/frowns.…”

Background: The ability to publish is a career-critical skill but requires the acquisition of a wide and disparate skill set. The Write a Scientific Paper (WASP) course was created in Malta in 2010, an intensive, three-day event. WASP is an accredited event held in Malta, London, and Bahrain. The COVID pandemic forced WASP to go online. This study compared satisfaction with WASP online as opposed to in-person by analyzing course feedback pre- and post-pandemic. Methods: Google forms are used to collect anonymous feedback on a Likert scale for various aspects of each WASP. The period 2017 to 2022 was used to compare four courses on-site and five courses online. Feedback on: Rate lectures, handouts, WASP overall and how likely are you to recommend WASP was compared. Results: Response rates were >60% and almost all Cronbach's Alpha values were >0.7. High satisfaction scores were achieved in all four questions (>4/5). There were no significant differences except in lectures, which scored well but fared slightly worse overall online. Conclusions: Migrating online does not necessarily lead to change/s in presentation contents but transforms delivery. Our results indicate that WASP is accepted online but the slightly lower lectures score implies that WASP might be better delivered in-person than online. However, students remained happy to recommend WASP and this accords with other studies that overall, student satisfaction with online education is common. It is hoped that as the pandemic recedes, webinars complement and not continue to totally replace traditional in-person meetings.

Large group lectures, which are widely used in continuing medical education, are susceptible to pitfalls that can negatively impact their effectiveness. In this article, we describe evidence-based best practices from the educational literature that can revive the medical lecture as an effective educational tool. We provide practical tips for both developing and delivering lectures, emphasizing the key role that learning objectives can and should have in the development of lectures, the importance of organization, effective use of visuals and application of restraint in slide design. Pause techniques to authentically engage the audience are described. We also provide practical tips for promoting attention in virtual presentations.

“…2 However, be it an award paper or a free paper, many find it hard to condense the information from their manuscript (or worse, the entire thesis) into slides that should be presented in 7–10 minutes. Though articles on preparing effective PowerPoint slides 3 , 4 and making appealing podium presentations 5 are abound, we could not find any specifically discussing converting a thesis or research paper to a small number of slides that convey all the essential information in a manner that is time-efficient and also aids audience comprehension. This article tries to fill that gap and provides valuable tips and tricks that presenters, both amateur and seasoned, may find useful.…”
