Good slides; bad handouts

Updated on October 21, 2011 By Simon 1 Comment

Errrmmmm… that’s it really.  Nothing more to add. Good slides make bad handouts… there’s just not enough detail on them.  What we do is create a bespoke document to use as the handout which may (or may not) include the slides.

If you’re doing that in PowerPoint, then there’s a good, brief ‘howto’ here. Long term readers will know much it hurt me to point to something good on the Microsoft site! :)  Thanks to @24point0 on twitter for pointing it out to me.
