Tips for Editing and Using Slides Well

As we continue to meet together in our faculties, we can continue to use slide presentations during our faculty gatherings. A slides template may be included each week where it is encouraged that the slides can be customised and personalised to suit each faculty. Feel free to be creative and include additional content related to the main talk.

Hopefully this guide will provide inspiration into editing and using slides well during faculty gatherings.
