In case you missed last week’s post, a nonlinear presentation can be a useful teaching tool that allows you to drive what you want to cover in a presentation (especially when circumstances change) rather than your slide deck.
A normal presentation progresses linearly, from one slide to the next.
Conversely, a nonlinear presentation can progress in any direction, skip entire sections, or circle back to reiterate a key concept.
Nonlinear presentations allow you to cover completely different materials using the same slide deck depending on what your audience needs/wants. For example, if you quiz students prior to coming to class and you see that they have all aced the questions pertaining to a specific topic, you can easily skip the topic if you have a “home” slide that you use to outline your topics. I am including an example nonlinear presentation below that I created for the College of Law and encourage you to explore the inner workings of this prototype by completing the quests below!
