Abstract
The evidence from learning science suggests that adding visuals to the text of instructional materials can help students learn better (Mayer 2001). If you are looking for a way to improve the usefulness of your lecture presentation slides, exploring ways to include visual explanations might be time well spent. I'll also present engineering educator Prof. Michael Alley's "assertion-evidence" format for presentation slides.
