Good morning all of you. So let us get going with the presentation about visual communication skills. This topic is highly important on one side when we need to communicate something. At the same time, it is not part of actual mainstream action. So that is why most of the time it is neglected according to my observation and especially when the students are creating some content or presenting their ideas to the faculty members or in a seminar or something. We can see a lot of times that absolutely well written content can go haywire because of bad visual communication, so wrong choice of things can really lead to problems. So in today's session we are actually going to see about the presentation techniques and use of fonts, colors and all that. I can see that there are some chats coming up and they are unable to see some of the slide. So slides have a low resolution apparently and I am told that some people cannot read anything there. So exactly what is the problem? Do you have a problem in color? Some people are saying they are very difficult to read and how about the graphics? So how many people actually have problem with the fonts which I have marked here? A lot of people will also find problem with color highly non-readable at all, it is a small size font, people are giving comments about the type of problems. Anything else? Smaller font, I got that and background color is horrible, there is no contrast. So somebody is pointing out different things unable to read. So these are two problems, how many people find that this position of the logo is also not very correct, it is chopped from the top, IIT Bombay logo should be seen complete and you should be able to read it. Then how many people are scared of this, 137 slides like this? Can you withstand such a presentation for so long? It is not correct. Somebody from Dure mentioned it is not correct, therefore we cannot read it, yes it is horrible. So I was joking actually, I wanted to show how bad presentation slides can really ruin the content, therefore I deliberately started with a bad slide, all of you can you read this slide now, how is this slide? So I am going to talk about use of text and graphics in most of the documents, well I am not restricting this to only presentation what you make in slides format or any other format but in general. At the very early stage I would like to acknowledge the contributions in this presentation done by Dr. Kentaro, he was head of Microsoft reaches at the time when I met him and I saw this great presentation what he had used in his talk and I requested him if I can borrow some of the slides from his presentation which he happily agreed and therefore I am able to use them. This is important, please note this point, it is okay to get slides and ideas from people you love to but at the same time do not forget to acknowledge their content, this is one way of doing it, so let us go ahead. So what is so much big fuss about the font, what is so great about use of font? I do not know how many people have read this article a year back I think, Indian student spoke to the US government and told them that if you change your font, your official font of US government is Times New Roman by the way, they said that if you change that font to Garamond which is shown down below then you will save 400 million dollars every year, why is that? It is just because the toner required to print the Times New Roman content versus Garamond content is drastically different and you can see the results on screen directly. The Garamond font is thinner and that is why uses less toner. But will you agree to this decision? Of course US government did not agree to this decision because simply because of the reason that communication is the primary objective of printing, why do you want to print? You want to print because somebody should be able to read it. Now you can easily see on screen that Garamond is less readable as compared to Times New Roman. So at the cost of 400 US dollars if the officials are not able to read what is printed, there is no point in saving money. Therefore, importance of font is in its readability. What is so important about design? For example, see this particular slide where research analysis is comparing two groups. I have no doubt in terms of the authenticity of the data, data is perfectly fine. Then what is wrong? It is hardly communicating anything. You cannot make out what is being told in this. Only the researcher who has prepared this probably will be able to see and explain what is happening. Otherwise if I send this slide to anyone they would not be able to see anything out of this. Now when we see in terms of color, the same logic applies. This is the classroom scenario where slides are used. But look at the colors and the contrast. When you see this text which is on this gray and white background, you cannot see white text on white. So use of a background is very important and at times you have to take a very clear call about whether you require a background or not. That is the thing that we decided that we will focus on these aspects in this small little module about visual communication using text and graphics. Well I would like to take you back to a smaller but very important component of presentation which is the process. And typically it should start with the planning phase where you plan a presentation. I am sure it is nothing to do with your visual graphic sense but planning a presentation is very important. After you plan then you can decide how do you want to execute it like what is the outline, what are the details of bullets you are going to add and all that.  Inderably what people do is follow the reverse process. They start with color schemes and typography and I have seen people spending a lot of time on the front slide like what color should they choose, what font should they what image should be added there. It is absolutely unnecessary amount of time is spent on that and later on they go to ok I think my outline is slightly problematic so let me change the slide from here to there and then they go finally to the stage where they analyze oh is it really necessary do you want these number of slides here or should I delete them or such things. Ideal condition is to start with a planning phase where you analyze and you can actually brainstorm the ideas, organize them, go to execute stage and then finally to the impress stage. We will very rapidly go through these stages but let me see if you have more questions I would like to answer them later on ok. Now in the planning phase one of the techniques which I prefer is about the ideation of the presentation so what you want. So when you we have seen I have taken a popular example of one of the most celebrated and most talented director India has ever produced Satyajit Rai. So for output or for communication what he wanted to create in a film called Gharib Airee the kind of process he had followed was that in order to get here he had put lot of effort in the execute stage where he used to have minute detailed work out and the planning stage was equally important where if you see his sketches and the notes he has prepared on what the character will look like how will that character behave everything is written in detail even the sideburns will be of this size how will it that be looking. So all these details are very well documented in the scanning of the documents which we have received right. Now once you have these things in place then if you put equal amount of effort at the time of execution so when the shooting was happening he used to go there and see to it that every character makeup is done to the perfection and only then the output comes out something like this which is world renowned and acclaimed for the finish of the product. So I am saying that if you follow a particular process with meticulous details then there is a high probability that it will reach out to the audience and communicate the way it is intended to be communicating right. So for a typical presentation like whatever presentations you would be doing now here I am slightly digressing I am not talking about the regular presentations what you make in your class for a particular subject and like 40 series of lectures you prepare for that this may not apply to that set of presentations but overall the point is that we all love stories whatever we do it is very boring if we do not have a story element in anything what we are here we communicate or something for example when I started with that presentation which had no color and very badly use fonts I suddenly had communication from all of you saying that we cannot read it and that has struck my communication right away. Now I am talking to you instead of you sitting there and listening to me silently you are equally participating in this presentation and that makes my point very easy to communicate now I am communicating I am not preaching like one person just saying something and others are just passively listening to it that is not the case. So in order to achieve that we need a story in every explanation what we are trying to make I do not mean that you have to always talk about the king and the queen and all that but you need to connect with people with some interesting thing and what is the story typically. So if you analyze that a typical film story goes like this we have the boy beating the girl we have the girl is ignoring the boy and the boy is trying to try something new there are some plots by the boy to get the girl and the plot will work and there is happiness ever after right this is a standard story. Now if I translate that to what happens actually at the psychological level then it is the setup it is the conflict where the ignorance happens there is a false climax where we try to see what plots are being worked out by the boy and there is action because the plot is trying to be made active by the boy and finally we have everything working out fine. Now if I translate this thing into any kind of a seminar presentation how it look like it start with the introduction where you set up the problem okay this is this is this thing which was happening in the past now there are these observations that these these these are the problems right now around this topic and then there is this related work happening in this area. So in between this related work we can see that there is a particular solution which we are proposing and we can show how this thing works by showing the results and proofs and finally we can say that this will work better if we go in this particular direction. Now this is very much a standard outline of any other presentation what you must have seen heard or made yourself and why is that because this particular type of communication is typical talk outline which will be a pretty good story for people to listen they love to start off with a introduction because you cannot suddenly come into action saying that okay here is a problem and here is a solution nobody is interested in getting that therefore you need to follow a particular way of storytelling so that people will appreciate the way you have communicated your thoughts and it is only possible because everyone including students as well as a reviewers whom who are judging you will love stories always that is why we need to see how we can make that outline as interesting as possible so that people would be able to communicate and see whatever is happening and then communicate back to us right. So in order to get that position we need to stress upon the plan phase very much and one of the techniques I use most of the time is brainstorm now in the brainstorming phase the ideation is very interesting and I do not know whether you have tried but maybe sometime during your next weeks coming weeks if you want you can have a form a small group and try it out at your own remote centers or within your other peer groups because it is very interesting to see how ideas can generate at the brainstorming level well I will just give you a couple of guidelines about how to conduct a brainstorming session for that matter so this has to start with anything which comes to your mind so it can start with words concepts ideas whatever you think about that topic you just have to write it down and you have to just throw them on piece of paper and or a board or nowadays people just you post it and keep it there you can just use a plain sheet of paper also you do not have to use a very sophisticated equipment for that and you can also ask one of you to volunteer and write on the white board or a blackboard whatever is available and just keep throwing the ideas now the important point at this stage is that you do not have to be judgmental while doing this so it is very important that you do not decide to discard idea or to keep idea being judgmental no idea should be discarded at this phase just keep writing later on when you are done with that time slot of brainstorming you can find the relationship between the topics and there if you find no relationship for a certain point which is written then you can discard it but not at the time of when people are suggesting for example there is a room of having 56 people who are brainstorming on a certain particular idea and they are saying certain points to be added the person who is writing he or she should not comment right away by saying oh maybe this is slightly far-fetched or maybe this is not connected to this so maybe we should we should avoid this don't take such a judgmental call at that stage just keep writing that after you are done with that and where the time we put a time limit so that we don't go endlessly on that and after that just try to find out relationship between them so what are typically the points which will go at the introduction what are typical points which is about the problem or related work or the solution proof something like that then you should be able to generate a flow out of these buckets which you have collected while brainstorming so this is the interesting idea and one of the tools in order to make this is called mind maps so mind maps will help you in categorizing and analyzing the particular topic of throwing up ideas and without any hierarchy so to say why I am saying that is because mind map doesn't tell you about a hierarchical structure so it is everything is thrown at one point and then you can just decide the hierarchy later on based on the audience you are going to communicate so for example there is an audience which right now when I am talking to you all you are being teachers I will reposition my presentation in a way which is different than when I will use the same presentation or the topic when I am talking to students so these kind of orientation will change for the same content also sometimes and that's where the structure of the presentation makes a very important role in doing this so let us take an example here if you all are there and ready for typing out something have a look at this slide you can see some alphabets on screen right now in the alphabets if I tell you that after period of 35 seconds or 40 seconds I am going to switch off this slide and I am going to ask you tell me number of each of the alphabet in this set what I have shown you so I want how many a's were there how many b's c's and b's and e f and all that how will you try to remember this set and recreate it for me so what could be the technique can you try out I will keep showing this slide so what is the technique you use I don't want you to tell me the numbers right now I just want you to tell me the technique what will you use in order to remember these alphabets and tell me back so it's kind of a memory test suppose how will you do that are there some options ideas take a photo okay we can't use technology by the way here I want you to give me a solution which can be used for exam probably if I give you an exam you don't have mobile cameras at that time probably then how will you do this yeah try to construct a sentence okay create a story link okay how can you create a story out of this we form words right so see this so you created a word called Maggie out of it right okay so let me create some words out of it I there is one option that you just count them that there is one a and six is to see then all that and then you can also bring it back right there is one option there is another option where you can create some words meaningful words right so this is one couple of words we can create and in fact we can also create a sentence out of it what the sentence a a coincidence re merging unspent but tell me frankly how many people can remember this sentence very difficult right so let me give you another sentence can you remember this sentence a coincidence emergent nurse ping can you remember this well even this is very difficult right or if I give you computer science and engineering well that would be pretty easy to remember for most of you because they are associated with this department or at least they see this nameplate outside everywhere so it is not a very foreign word for them like emergent nurse ping so it depends the structure depends on the fact of who is going to consume it do you agree with this so it then it becomes pretty easy for anyone to remember so now if I tell you tell me the alphabets from this set and you will just say write computer science and engineering and tell me that okay all of these are the alphabets right now this is by the way internet anagram server which helps you in doing this you can try it out some very interesting anagrams can be made out of it another example if I tell you remember this alphabets mountain comic or account mini ohm or iconic mom nut very difficult to remember but if I tell you that this all makes into a word called communication that is pretty easy to remember because you know about this word in fact the presentation is all about communication therefore it is very easy to remember this the point I am making forget about the the anagram part but the point I am making is the structure will always be very pleasing for the users if it comes from their own domain so the moment it comes from their own domain the structure is very well appreciated by everyone who is listening to it seeing it reading it reviewing it whatever they are doing with it the structure makes an important so you have to be contextual when you create the structure so that the users know what is it going to be for them right now going ahead we should be able to use the brainstormed ideas into various buckets of the presentation and that will give us a sort of chunking stage where our presentation will be populated by all these topics which we are discussed so this is one a simple solution and this can be done in using a mind map typically when I teach this course in class we have a full-fledged assignment on a mind map this time I decided not to go ahead with it simply because of the time factor as well as the kind of assessment evaluation issues I heard about okay so we will go ahead and now we will try to see if we can just know little bit about mind maps so people who are aware of mind maps should just contribute by posting something about it but for people who are new to this idea it is a simple explanation using a central idea and a radial way of explaining things so the subsections are radial like a sun rays you will have everything coming from the center so later on you can decide the hierarchy by numbering it probably but it is not like a tree where you will have everything one below the other so it is a radial design it allows you to express using visuals so at times you want to show that this is very important you can put some stars or you can color it and all sorts and things are possible but if you add some of the concept map ideas to it for example labeling the lines which are connecting to the bubbles then it will become very informative by the way just as a small exercise these are the mind map guidelines and there are like 10 topic 10 points here but instead of that if I show you this mind map directly the same guidelines are explained using this and this becomes more user friendly for people to understand so you can use links you can use color you can emphasize and add images and you can have various dimensions to it you can use keywords and use of upper and lower will help in in giving importance there can be different styles you can have a personal style you can develop from original style which is available and all sorts of things so this is pretty easy to remember because of the structure itself as compared to this 10 bullet slide this becomes very easy even if I have asked this question to lot of people later on and they are able to recollect a lot of this guidelines just looking at this mind map as compared to the presentation slide itself right so let us move on but before that I think there was a question in the last class which I had given that what is the difference between the concept map and a mind map so therefore I just thought I will add one particular slide here concept maps are slightly different than mind maps not majority of a difference but visible difference is like what you see here so the connector line between the central idea and the subtopic will also be labeled in concept maps and it will have some kind of a relationship explanation so this chooses to do this or this reflects on this so you will write that particular summary of that action on the connector line and that will help you in reading the concept map very fast that is the idea okay so we have this difference between mind map and concept map but let me just tell you couple of tools which are freely available some of them are free some of them are limited in terms of their usage but most of them are free nowadays you have something called free mind and X mind but there is a tool called thing Busan by the way Busan is the person who invented mind maps and perfected this technique long time back so the website which he runs is one of the pioneering effort in this but it is not completely free but still you can use limited part of it and okay so we have certain part of mind mapping available there okay so from plan stage let us go to the execute phase where we want to now that we have the outline ready with us and we have some topics let us see how we can use them in a more interesting way and at this point I had discussed about use of graphics in the presentation and I think you have already seen this so I do not want to spend lot of time on that different type of content will require different type of visuals and the types of visuals are essentially not cast in stone but yeah you can still take this as a reference what I did not cover in that particular presentation was how you can convert some of the text to graphics to make it more meaningful and here is one example and now you all know this is a relational graphic which was it will tell you the quantitative difference between whatever is happening so tables are typically used to explain things and table will be not much communicative instead if you use a graph of that that would tell you visually okay that the product number 3 has this ratio as compared to product number 2 which has a better ratio so all these things can be very clear if you use a graph instead of a table however there are problems in the way people use graphs or tables so for example look at this table this is about the poverty rates and there are some the 4 counties are shown here and the percentage of poverty shown in the other column well there are some problems in this table can you just take a minute to think about what is the problem and try to put it up can you all see the table and what is the problem with this table yeah county is repeated unnecessarily it is annoying okay decimals are having a problem right and you all are pretty correct because if you show it like this then it will be much more simpler because you have the decimals all aligned properly and then you can do this in fact you can go away with word county and just say a b c d here that also will be better yeah even percentage is a sign is not needed if it is there on the top right okay now look at this graph what is the problematic situation here font size axis are not clearly visible okay font size is the issue okay but font size can be scale is not perfect okay on y axis I think range in y axis is a problem yeah so I think couple of people are coming up very right and if I change the scale I do not actually have to talk about the value up to 50,000 if nothing has reached here then why to show all these values right so I just reduce the y axis to 10000 and now you know what I can actually see this particular dip here which was not visible in the earlier graph at all that it has dropped down in 1950 below 6000 which was not visible there right this is very simple and very common problem but most of the time people forget to use these techniques in order to explain what they wanted to say right I have also covered about color schemes and typography but I did not cover the visual effects and appeal part so I had lot of questions from other people about nowadays with so many presentation tools we have these options of visual effects and transitions and all that how should we use that so I just wanted to touch base on that topic briefly at least before you we go ahead in the final segment of explaining the activity so when you talk about presentations so we have these animated text effects and then we have this kind of windows being used or we have slides having this door open type of transition there are many more transitions in fact you have something like blast and where you can see things getting into pieces we have something very popular which is the page curl and I have seen umpteen number of presentations using this type of a slide transition you have this Venetian blinds which is becoming very common nowadays you have this 3D type of things where you can rotate the boxes and all you have flying screens in fact the range is really crazy you keep going and you will see that it will really shock you the some effect of light coming up and some color transition so the range is really crazy which will make you think what was the topic of this presentation when you let all started because you are just forgotten by the time I am showing you all these slides what was the over topic when we were starting of this presentation so let us just unwind a bit what we wanted to tell you was that whenever you are using a presentation transition especially in impress remember this that you want the audience to take your message whatever you are trying to communicate you wanted you want them to take away the message but you do not want the audience to be taken away by the message that is not your objective at all therefore the simple impress guidelines are that do not overdo anything of this over transitions over color over font usage over of everything will create a chaotic situation and that is what I think you can remember and like in my earlier presentations even this slide has a green dot which means that this is the guideline slide and you can use this slide as a guideline slide which you can just compress all my presentation slides to one presentation and keep them handy so that you can utilize it whenever you are in trouble or you want to solve something so based on this we can just have a look at the very famous debate of form and function what is a form is how do you show the message and what is the function what exactly is the message so for example I ask you that my message or my product I want to envisage is a bunch of bristles to clean or apply then what could be the solution for that what what would be your answer what should be the form of that if the function is of a bunch of bristles to either clean or to apply something and what would be the form you would recommend can you just type in your answers for that if I ask you this question yeah it can be brush by the way which brush could this be yeah people are just saying brush after one after another but yeah can you be more specific you cannot be specific because I have not given you the context and that is why all the answers are ranging in the zone of just a brush because the moment I say bristles and cleaning you remember a brush right now depends on the content very correctly said by college of engineering in goon tool that it depends on the context so suppose I give you a context now well so I give you a context that I want something for teeth something for face and something for paper now what will you use for teeth obviously you will use the toothbrush right and what will you use for face that would be the shaving brush and most of the women in the audience used to give me the answer that they will use a makeup brush which is also correct and if I talk about paper or a wall or something then that would be the painting brushes right so depends on the context that the same product has to be redesigned in order to satisfy the requirement of that particular surface that is how exactly we should take our decision in terms of presentation in terms of graphics in terms of color everywhere depending on the context we should take a call of what we are going to use therefore it is not that one is important than other both are important but if you give less attention or inadequate attention to either of them then you will not be able to communicate properly on the other hand if you give excess attention then it will lead to a complete chaos and that is what we should avoid always therefore the content and this is very important and that is why it has a green dot the content for the given audience should govern the decision of choosing what visually you are going to do use what design are you going to follow and what strategy you are going to apply so it also depends on that for example the moment I am teaching or I am using a view then I should know that the strategy should be of using the chat which is available here and then I can interact with you all immediately so it depends on the audience that how you are going to conduct your communication skills are tested in such conditions very much I would like to stop here for this particular topic and I would like to now tell you about the activity you are going to do today and in between if there are some questions I would like to take those so questions please. I wanted to know like I have downloaded some PPPs long back I do not know the credits so how can I give credits to the person who has done okay so I will repeat the question you are saying that you have downloaded some PowerPoint slides from internet and you do not know the source of that is it correct so how will you give credit for that presentation so the website wherever you have downloaded from is also one of the ways you can refer to it so if you have downloaded it from for example slideshare you will come to know that it has been uploaded by x login name you can refer to that name also that is also good enough because sometimes people will anonymously put up some content at that time you have to refer to the website but when you refer to it you have to say in bracket as seen on so and so date on this website that is good enough ideally you should write to the person who has uploaded and ask their permission on a email that I would like to use certain slides from your presentation for this purpose can you approve this usage and if they approve then you can use it that would be nice otherwise you have to recreate this and explain it in your own words and then use the content that is what we have to do for my slides you are free to use it because I have released the slides in open source under ccbysa so which means that you can use my slides and you can but you have to further release the slides also in the similar license and give attribute to the person who has created that is me but also release the slides in the similar license model so that the flow continues of open source content creation and we are anyway going to talk about OER in the in the same sessions so this is one way of doing it poornima college of engineering our question suppose we have got a presentation being made for subject like microprocessor where in more and more you can say plot diagrams are there or either mathematic say another probability in statistics stories in that what kind of question we have to take while making the presentation yeah I have understood the question like this the question the gentleman is asking is that you have showed me the presentation about communication skills so that is okay but what if I have a presentation to make on microprocessor or something on algorithms or some biotechnology subject where there is lot of technical content involved and there is no liberty of like what you were using various colors and points and all that we do not have that choice so precisely sir what you have asked is very correct and the the thumb rule still goes in the same manner if you look at the video which I had posted on moodle it shows that use of minimum number of points and minimum number of colors and using the grid lines in order to have a well designed layout of the slides adds to a cleaner communication any which way whatever the content in in the store so I would like to give you another example if you read a novel especially English novels then you can see that they are all printed in black and white there is no color there are no images there is hardly any sketch there but still you can read that in fact lot of people tell me that they love to read the novel but they hate the movie when it is made so imagine the situation from that novel they have created a very nice looking movie which all special effects and color and acting and voice and sound and everything but you still enjoy the black and white novel which you can read and you are free to visualize or get the message across so nicely so it depends on the clarity of your presentation rather than clutter of the content so one thumb rule is that keep it simple keep minimum number of points minimum number of colors and have a eye pleasing layout so that the the slides look easy we have another question from Vidya Pratishthan Bharamvati I suppose actually I have information about the question like whenever I am designing and presentation so I usually use Google's material design there is something called as Google's material design so where they have mentioned clearly which color need to be at the background which color had to be at the front and along with that they are given the proper transitions what type of borders we need to give what type of shadows we need to give so Google's material design so they have made it one open for the designer actually they have done it for website and app development I guess that can be useful for the presentation also. Thank you very much for sharing this resource I think it is not a question but it is a suggestion so I will repeat for the benefit of other participants who are listening to this gentleman from Vidya Pratishthan has come up with a suggestion of using Google material design so like I was telling in the Moodle video which I have uploaded that nowadays with the availability of templates most of the things are already very eased out however I see that most of the faculty members do not use the templates and that is where the things go wrong or start going wrong. So my sincere request is that use a template and copy your entire contents because the biggest problem what faculty members have is of transporting the content from one presentation to another presentation you tell me something which can be done in the same presentation they are very happy to use it but if I tell them that okay transport your presentation to this one which has a better template better layout better color better fonts then that is a lot of extra work to be done but I feel that it is important to do that because that will only help you in removing the clutter and using the well researched guidelines of presentation and like what you said these tools are created using these guidelines already you do not have to really worry about is the font size correct or it has to be changed or something they will automatically get you the font sizes accordingly whether it is a second level point third level point fourth level point it will allow you to use it automatically so that is a good suggestion thank you. There will be a content and there will be a design there are two things in presentation. So in fact it tells you that you concentrate on content creation at some point and later on whenever you are done you can. So for example people who are well versed with latex they will agree to this because in latex you are completely free from the design part you just have to keep doing the content and if you use the appropriate tags the presentation will automatically show up in that format. So if it is the heading it will always show the heading in a particular font and all that that is a beautiful way of planning things. Thank you. Thanks we have Murat Fada Institute of Technology. My question is can you tell me what are the different things in your view that stops student from learning. So I will repeat the question for the benefit of the rest of the participants who are listening to this the question is that what are the different things which will stop student from learning. So first and the foremost is the the boredom which accumulates over time. So like I said if your presentation lacks the engagement pointers in between. So like if you see every presentation should have a point where the students feel connected to it in some way or the other and that will only come through participation. So if you are going to create any presentation which has a monologue like you speak continuously on one side and does not bother whether people are sleeping on the other side then it is definitely stop people from learning. It is observed and well researched fact that students learn or anybody learns by participating. So your presentation should have ample opportunity of participation and that will definitely connect them with this and they will never stop learning as you said. So that is one sure short way and the second way in connection to what presentation I just gave is because of the kind of visuals what you see on screen also creates the boredom at times. For example if you see something very interesting then students do not feel like we are not part of it. So every time you show something if it is catching their eyes in terms of what heading you are giving what font sizes you are used. If it is too small people cannot read it then they will give up and they will say it is a very boring lecture and I do not want to listen to it I would rather skip this lecture. So in order to avoid that method you have to make sure that you attract their attention to the topic you are discussing and then you can ensure that it stays the same way by introducing participation in every presentation what you are making. Sir I would like to know that no there is a lot of research happening based on the learning styles I think you are showing us how to use visual content. So is there any particular research done on VAK method like VAK model no visual learners auditory and kinestic. So no in general in India or anywhere across the country which kind of learners are more even though it is blended learning can you throw some light on this VAK model or learning styles especially sir. Okay so I will repeat the question for the benefit of others what are the learning styles typically found in India is part of the question and I think specifically you asked about the VAK learning I am really sorry but I am not very sure about the VAK learning part but with what are experience I have in teaching in the classroom as well as adopting to this style of blended learning which we are right now doing so I am talking to a large crowd simultaneously and the MOOCs style of teaching where we do not even talk to people at all. So the only way communication happens is through discussion forums. So I have actually just completed a course on 3D animation and which I am going to do a formal announcement in tomorrow's session but just because the topic came up right now I tried these three teaching styles in the short span of one year last one year I have been doing this activity as a full time research and to see the pros and cons of all these three things and one thing I realized is that without a personal interaction with learner it is very difficult to communicate or to establish engagement level with anybody. So we have been brought up in that mode where we cannot connect if we do not have the personal interaction. So however number of channels you have or whatever way you have in order to get information you still believe that while walking on the street if you talk to a friend saying that did this happen in Delhi today then you are more confirmed about it even though your internet is telling you the mobiles are telling you that this is the news of the day but it is very important when you connect with people only then you have a very strong grounded feeling of this. So interaction is the key in any communication and it is true for education also. So therefore blended mode of learning is emerging very rapidly and what we at IIT Bombay X are doing is the same thing. So although we have our content in the MOOCs format we are trying to add the interaction like what we are doing right now in addition to the content dissemination so that we can solve these queries through either instructor led discussions or peer interaction so that this can grow because it is not possible for me for that matter to interact with all 121 remote centers right now and for that matter to some 3000 participants who are listening to me right now but because you asked this question I believe that most of the other people like 400 people who had this question in their mind gets answered automatically at the same time when during tea or during lunch you discuss with your peers there this will create a community where you will have interaction built up where they right. So now I am sure at your institute also they are not from the same institute all of you ideally it should be that there are people from other institutes also coming and attending at your institute so that it nurtures the interaction between the teachers on the similar topics so that is how we are trying to build it up and so the answer to your question is from the point of view of the methodology which we are adopting in conducting the T10KT workshops and courses so this is one way of dealing with it but I would post some of the research material on the discussion forum so that you can go through it and I would also request you so if you have something about this thing please start a thread on this and start posting it on discussion forum so that others benefit from the topics which you have so keen interest on so thank you and I will go to now the next institute which has a question. Sir my question is you explain about the plan execute and impress what we will have to do in impress phase. What do you have to do in impress stage was the question within the plan execute and impress the impress stage is more about the look and feel of the presentation so it talks about what type of color what type of fonts what type of layout is to be used in the slide presentations and it also talks about the transitions which you can use and so on and so forth so it is about the look and feel so impress part is the last part where you decide the overall look and feel of the presentation here you are not talking much about whether this slide should come before this and all that we are not talking about structure we are not even talking about whether this is the objective of my presentation all that is done at the plan and the execute stage in impress we are only going to talk about the look and feel of the presentation and you can refer to the video and the slides where I have covered this in detail let us just take one last question from D. Y. Patil sir is there any standard that how many bullets we should have ideally in one slide how many words it should contain the question was is there a standard about how many bullets should be there in one slide right so I had answered this briefly in one of the slides so use the six by six rule there should not be more than six points on a slide and there should not be more than six words in each point of these things more than six words makes it very verbose and people are not able to remember it right this is what a very crude level of guideline can be used although there can be slides where occasionally you are forced to use some seven points probably if your topic talks about seven important issues related to something then you may have to add seventh point but that should be rare according to the researcher which is given at the bottom they say that humans cannot remember more than six points if they are bombarded on to them so therefore avoid more than six points on a slide and within the slide also it should not be having more than six words at that time right thank you very much have good lunch and the activity after this I will see you tomorrow at 9 30 a.m.

So we think that if you can speak English well, then there are more opportunities, right? So we see the word can there So if you have the ability to speak English, right? What about so long? What did you think of three? Or would you mind reading that? And what would you mind reading it? Okay, and does everyone agree and why do we agree with that? To learn all things It's never always, but when you're left, when you're late, it's always Okay, so it's sometimes it's late But I'm not sure This works, because the sentence is to be able to learn a new language If you are 70 years old, I don't know if you are in the same way able to learn a new language I don't know if you can see me, but more difficult than you More difficult There's a will, okay, and maybe you can learn the language, but not as well as when you were stressed You say where it doesn't work anymore Of course, more difficult I took both I agree No, I don't agree Yeah, because if you want to learn a language, you can make it this eight years or this hundred years, sure But not in the same way as 20 years I think you really want it, or even more years But we are talking about learning a language Yeah, once the younger you are, it's more easy, it's more possibility Less time, or spend less money Very good point, so you highlighted the be able to So that was the point there, be able to And I can see her point, like you said Maybe when you get older, it's harder to be able to Good point Abdul, would you mind reading the next one? My main reason for learning English is because I want to be able to get a good job Okay, I disagree You disagree? I don't Because English is a International language Good, so we will, I'm going to talk about that a little later too So that was a very good point You're busy, really? No, only job Yes, that's the only job Because you need to work Because you got to work Very good Thank you


Let's those six guys. Yeah rain yellow Rain yellow Q you drag myself in there. Yeah.  How did how did funky enough take place man How did that whole process go Those early days is just really those those six guys. Yeah rain yellow Rain yellow Q you drag myself in there. Yeah. Yeah Just trying stuff doing stuff, you know, and so some days you'll be working on this or this song sound Better for this and you know, I had about three or four records with me When I left I went up there. So you had some to take No, I had the records. Okay, that the samples I got it Well, we appeared me and let the base go man No songs to the record tonight man. Listen man. You was a beast man with that man.  It was a damn good for me and Ray It was a moment in time because we both grew a lot Yeah, during that record man.  Yeah, but the way you was Articulating, you know the flow around those beats and the way that you was delivering was a whole nother level than what we had even seen We hadn't seen anything like that I'm being real I know cuz I listen I Enjoyed it and I'm like I said, I'm a big fan of it told you one thing about it man when he come down to the South I I'm still pulling every time trying to figure out a way to make us connect Yeah, so me being a hustle or whatever I was doing I was trying to connect out the dots with the music because I know already we talk different already I always knew that we sound a little different. So we our music is gonna come it's gonna hit a little different You know, I'm being they don't even and a lot of time people don't get it. Yeah, but I got it early on. I promise you


I was made in America and now I'm a part of making America. These are the things that I needed to be successful. If you don't utilize this time to learn something or do something different, then you're failing yourself. Take these techniques and apply them to your business.  Because I really want the little girls to know that they can do it and they can be just like me.  Thank you. Can you follow me? What would you tell someone at that very beginning stage? Being an entrepreneur is being able to take nose and build with them like bricks. America has always been associated with making it, but is this opportunity accessible to all? I'm Scott Shigeoka. Go Daddy's Entrepreneurial Residence. And I'm on a journey across the country meeting the people who are building it. They're defying the odds and their stories show us what it means to be made in America. So I became an entrepreneur because I saw the way I wanted to shape this world. But the journey wasn't always easy and didn't always go according to plan. But part of being an entrepreneur is pushing through that and learning from it. Our goal with this series is to highlight the everyday entrepreneurs that are making our communities better with their dedication and with their dreams, despite the challenges they face. We're telling their unique stories because if we celebrate our joy and if we also acknowledge or struggle, we can lean in to the journey of being an entrepreneur. And that's why we're out here in Atlanta. Atlanta is a place where entrepreneurship thrives. It's a place where people make their own way. Growing up in Atlanta was incredible. Our mayor was Black. Our leadership was Black. I knew Black doctors, lawyers, accountants, small business owners. If there was a field of practice to esteem to, there was representation of that here in Atlanta. Here in Atlanta, it seems like the soil is rich here as far as being creative and being able to have a platform to actually grow it. Atlanta is the mecca for rising businesses and it's just, Atlanta is everything. You need to be here. What are you waiting for? But it also has another side to it. Like most places around the country, there is a huge income gap and a lot of it is divided along racial lines. We're not just seeing the haves and have-nots, we're seeing the haves and have-nevers. It's literally this heartening Atlanta politically was built to include everyone, but so many people are still being left behind. We're having some very, very tough conversations about society and about people. We have an opportunity to get it right. Small business ownership is second only to home ownership as a source of building wealth in this country. So we have a tremendous opportunity to unlock societal potential at an accelerated pace. Here in Atlanta, we're working with G-Men, the Georgia Micro Enterprise Network, and they are a partner of Empower by GoDaddy. They provide support, training, resources, tools and community for everyday entrepreneurs here in Atlanta and across the state. Hi! Hi, I'm Scott. I'm Sonia. Welcome to Atlanta. They are truly trying to close the income gap and other forms of racial inequity through the power of entrepreneurship. This is where the magic happens. This is where the magic happens. G-Men in a Whole is an organization that provides the stability and the resources to those that may not have that opportunity. It helps to mold and make entrepreneurs from the conception into implementation. Sonia's going to take me around Atlanta and she's going to show me the small businesses that make Atlanta what it is.  I can smell it. I'm like, hmm, I want some of this. What people usually get. You know, the barbecue chicken. When people come together to build business and to create jobs, man, it feels good. It's falling off the bone. I'm from El Salvador. I grew up in markets selling fruits and vegetables with my grandma. I moved to the States to be independent and create my own business. I miss kids and they never went back.  You may not know it, you may not realize it, you may not agree with it, but there is an entrepreneurial spirit. And I believe that this is the greatest opportunity because we can make together what we want America to be for ourselves and for future generations. You're part of history. I could be the next Coca-Cola. We can be the next Briar's Ice Cream. When you're your own entrepreneur, you can limit yourself. Of course, systems, once you start being educated on the systems, it's like what can I do to platform myself beyond that? I love that answer. I saw her. She's like, I love you. Going into a classroom, we're in there with businesses that we respect that we already knew before going in. Like, you know, these businesses that we've looked up to, now we're in a room with them, makes us feel good that we're going in the right direction. When you meet people who are on like the same journey, the same path, they relate to you. Some people who work nine to five or, you know, they don't understand like what it means to like put your whole heart into like something and it has to work. I am excited about what we're going to learn today. Your entrepreneur tank should be on full when you leave. Why does this work matter to you? It matters to me because I am a third generation entrepreneur. So my grandfather owned a couple of restaurants around Barbecue. My father owned a restaurant. And I at one point in time had a catering business. So if similar opportunity was afforded to my grandfather and my father, I really feel like they would have been more successful than they were. So that's why this work matters to me. What's up y'all? I'm Scotcha Gioca. I'm the entrepreneur in residence with GoDaddy. I think like one of the things I hear so much is that this feels lonely sometimes, you know? Like it can feel difficult sometimes, right? Like people telling you no. But I think you are here today because you're trying to defy that. You're trying to say no, you know what? You can say that. But I'm going to tell you something else and I'm going to show you something else. I can actually do this. And you got each other is the other thing, right? You have a community here. That's what I'm feeling in Atlanta. You know, like how do we rise up together, right? So rise up, right? We try to rise up. Like you try to rise up. Like there's some amazing trainers here that are going to help you share yourself as authentic beings in this world. And I hope you get what you need from that. One of the things we've noted here at G-Men, we've been around for about 20 years. And one of the first things we noted is that here in the South, we don't have as many of the opportunities that other cities do have. You're from Atlanta? I am from Atlanta, Georgia. I went to a school called Harper High School and it's really in the hood. I'm the first entrepreneur in my family. I bootstrapped my way through. I was in corporate America but I took my 401k and I just made it work. Now I go back to Harper. I go back to Adamsville and I speak to the little brown girls there. And I show them that just because you're from Adamsville, just because you're from the South side, look at me. I get teary-eyed because I really want the little girls to know that they can do it and they can be just like me. So engagement is huge. When you engage with them and you have that conversation and they realize that you're a human and not a computer, thank you. Can you follow me? Okay? So with that being said, pull out your phones at GoDaddy. All right? So the energy in here is amazing. Everyone was so engaged in class. I never saw so many hands up in a workshop before. It was so amazing to see them hungry, to learn, and to want to engage. And I think that's what's required as an entrepreneur. You need to be a lifelong learner. You need to have that growth mindset that allows you to continue to level up. I want to know a little bit about like what's the dream for you? Like what's next for you? Like where are you? Where are you trying to take this journey? Let's legitimize this the way that we need to and like make a commitment to ourselves and to our children that we're going to seek the education that we need to grow our business into something more. You know, I'm excited about having other people like me to own these franchises. So I'm excited to grow my business. I'm well on my way right now, so I already have that traction. I think you're always trying to be better and do more. Because it'll create stability for me in the long term. The time you all came, it felt like the last happy day. It was like that was the cut off of businesses growing and people connecting. And then the next day it all stopped. Like everything shut down. There was a 24 hour quarantine that went into fashion midnight. Yeah, I mean, we were literally in flight. You know, we were opening up, expanding another space. And of course everything is at a standstill. Of all the entrepreneurs that came through the program that we work with, 90% of them are shut down. How are you guys doing? My partner got tested positive for COVID-19. Oh wow. He is doing good though. He's recovered. He hasn't had a fever in a while. We're just completely isolated just really trying to do our part. I think like you, you're feeling a sense of uncertainty. And I think that's definitely in the air. We're trying to think of strategies to make sure that we're staying grounded and we're asking for the help we need. And we're also reaching out to others how we can. You know, it really has forced us to be creative. We're doing catering for frontline workers at hospitals. We did 120 people today. We've transitioned to selling a lot of to-go food. Small businesses are generally very resilient and resourceful because they've had to make things happen with very little. That's resilience. That's great. So entrepreneurship is crucially, crucially important. You know, if we want to get Americans back to work, small businesses need to be ready. They need to be healthy so they can employ them. All I could say is the timing of everything has just been so amazing. For GoDaddy to be a partner with G-Men and with the Atlanta entrepreneurs has kind of made the difference. That is pretty much the thing that everybody is asking for. They all need to know how to do promotions. They all need to know how to take their business from a site to online. That is an immediate solution that's available. If you don't utilize this time to learn something or do something different and you've been complaining about it, then you're failing yourself. They're actually reaching out without having to leave their home, which is important for them to know I can do that. I can still do business from right where I am, you know. I love that. Like what you're talking about is a mindset shift, right? And using this opportunity wisely, I love that reframe of saying, you know, this is a moment for us to better our businesses, to adapt. So next, we're going to learn more about some of these entrepreneurs, get to know who they are, how they got to where they are, and see where they're going next. I was made in America and I wouldn't trade that for anything. The good, the bad, the ugly, like all of it, right? It inspires us to evolve from made to make, right? Like, I was made in America and now I'm a part of making America. So stay with me as we go deeper into the journeys of entrepreneurs and talk about the inequities and the barriers that some of them face. First up, we're going to talk to the Robinsons. They're a family that runs a vegan popsicle business in Atlanta and they're in a moment of real growth. I hope you join us.
