Welcome to the
March 2004 Issue!
Finally PowerPoint discussions can move from the realms of opinion to the halls of empirical study with the research findings of Rich Mayer. When we start figuring out how to align information with the processing capability of the brain, maybe we can follow Michael Schrage's advice and also figure out how to evolve PowerPoint into a more collaborative tool. |

|
|
 |
|
