2. WHAT IS CREATIVE COMMONS?
Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization
that enables the sharing and use of creativity
and knowledge through free legal tools.
3. WHAT IS CREATIVE COMMONS?
Our free, easy-to-use copyright licenses provide a
simple, standardized way to give the public
permission to share and use your creative work on
conditions of your choice. CC licenses let you easily
change your copyright terms from the default of “all
rights reserved” to “some rights reserved.”
Creative Commons licenses are not an alternative to
copyright. They work alongside copyright and enable
you to modify your copyright terms to best suit your
needs.
4. WHAT CAN CREATIVE COMMONS DO FOR
US?
CC gives you flexibility and protects the people who
use your work, so they don’t have to worry about
copyright infringement, as long as they abide by the
conditions you have specified.
If you’re looking for content that you can freely and
legally use, there is a giant pool of CC-licensed
creativity available to you. There are hundreds of
millions of works— available to the public for free and
legal use under the terms of our copyright licenses,
with more being contributed every day.
5. REVIEW CONDITIONS
Creators choose a set of conditions they wish to apply to their work.
Attribution. You let others
copy, distribute, display, and
perform your copyrighted
work but only if they give
credit the way you request.
Noncommercial.
You

Share Alike. You allow others
to distribute derivative works
only under a license identical
to the license that governs
your work.
7. SELECTS CONDITIONS
Select the license that indicates how others may use your creative
work.
Attribution (by)
This license lets others distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon your
work, even commercially, as long as they credit you for the original
creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered, in
terms of what others can do with your works licensed under
Attribution.
Attribution Share Alike (by-sa)
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work even
for commercial reasons, as long as they credit you and license
their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often
compared to open source software licenses.
8. SELECTS CONDITIONS
Attribution No Derivatives (by-nd)
This license allows for redistribution, commercial and noncommercial, as long as it is passed along unchanged and in
whole, with credit to you. If you remix, transform, or build upon the
material, you may not distribute the modified material.
Attribution Non-commercial (by-nc)
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work noncommercially, and although their new works must also
acknowledge you and be non-commercial, they don’t have to
license their derivative works on the same terms.
9. SELECT CONDITIONS
Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike (by-nc-sa)
This license lets others remix, tweak, and build upon your work noncommercially. Others can download and redistribute your work and
they can also translate, make remixes, and produce new stories
based on your work. All new work based on yours will carry the
same license, so any derivatives will also be non-commercial in
nature.
Attribution Non-commercial No Derivatives (by-nc-nd)
This license is the most restrictive of our six main licenses, allowing
redistribution. Because it allows others to download your works and
share them with others, but they can’t change them in any way or
use them commercially.

11. 20 BASIC TIPS FOR DEVELOPING A GOOD PRESENTATION
1. Start with the end of mind. Think about the day of
your presentation. What is the real purpose of your
talk? Why is it that you were asked to speak? What
does the audience expect? Remember, even if you
have been asked to share information, rarely is the
mere transfer of information a satisfactory objective
from the point of view of the audience.
12. 2. Know your audience as well as possible. Before doing
your presentation, you need to ask yourself many basic
questions to becoming the best possible presenter for that
particular audience. At the very least, you need to answer
the basic “W questions.”
• Who is the audience? (Their background, how much
background information they bring to the presentation?)
• What is the purpose of the event? (Is it to inspire? more
concepts and theory rather than advice?)
• Why were you asked to speak? (Expectations)
• Where is it? (Localization)
• When is it? (The day, what time, the order...)
13. 3. Content, content, content. No matter how great
your delivery, or how professional and beautiful your
supporting visuals, if your presentation is not based
on solid content, you can’t succeed. Great content is
a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one.
14. 4. Keep it simple. Simple does not mean stupid.
Simple can be hard for the presenter, but it will be
appreciated by the audience. Simplicity takes more
forethought and planning on your part because you
have to think very hard about what to include and
what can be left out. What is the essence of your
message? This is the ultimate question you need to
ask yourself during the preparation of your
presentation.
15. 5. Outlining your content. It's important to create a
storyboard. I find the analog approach stimulates my
creativity a bit more as I said. You may be thinking that this
is a waste of time: why not just go into PowerPoint and
create your images there so you do not have to do it
twice? Well, the fact is, if I tried to create a storyboard in
PowerPoint, it would actually take longer as I would
constantly have to go from normal view to slide sorter
view to see the “whole picture.” The analog approach to
sketch out my ideas and create a rough storyboard really
helps solidify and simplify my message in my own head.
16. 6. Have a sound, clear structure. Presentation
structure is essential. Without it, your wonderful
style, delivery and great supporting visuals will fall
flat. If you took the time in the first step to outline
your ideas and set them up in a logical fashion, then
your thinking should be very clear. If your ideas are
not clear first, it will be impossible to design the
proper structure later when you create visuals and/or
supporting documents.
17. 7. Dakara nani? (so what?). When building the content of
your presentation always put yourself in the shoes of the
audience and ask “so what?” Really ask yourself the tough
questions throughout the planning process. For example, is
your point relevant? — Always be asking yourself this very
important, simple question. If you can’t really answer that
question, then cut that bit of content out of your talk
18. 8. Can you pass the elevator test?. Check the clarity of
your message with the elevator test. This exercise forces
you to “sell” your message in 30-45 seconds. But practicing
what you might do in such a case forces you to get your
message down and make your overall content tighter and
clearer.
19. 9. The art of storytelling. Good presentations include
stories. The best presenters illustrate their points
with the use of stories, most often personal ones. The
easiest way to explain complicated ideas is through
examples or by sharing a story that underscores the
point. Stories are easy to remember for your
audience. If you want your audience to remember
your content, then find a way to make it relevant and
memorable to them.
20. 10. Confidence-how to get it?. The more you are on
top of your material the less nervous you will be. If
you have taken the time to build the logical flow of
your presentation, designed supporting materials that
are professional and appropriate, there is much less
to be nervous about. And, if you have then actually
rehearsed with an actual computer and projector
several times, your nervousness will all but melt away.
21. 11. Keep it simple. The slides
themselves were never meant to be
the “star of the show” (the star is
your audience). People came to
hear you and be moved or informed
by you and your message. Do not
let your message and your ability to
tell a story get derailed by slides
that are unnecessarily complicated,
busy, or full. Nothing in your slide
should be superfluous.
22. 12. Limit bullets points and text. Your presentation is
for the benefit of the audience. But boring an audience
with bullet point after bullet point is of little benefit to
them. The best slides may have no text at all.
Remember, the slides are meant to support the
narration of the speaker, not make the speaker
superfluous.
23. 13. Limit transitions and builds (animation). Use object
builds and slide transitions judiciously. Object builds (also
called animations), such as bullet points, should not be
animated on every slide. Some animation is a good thing,
but stick to the most subtle and professional (similar to
what you might see on the evening TV news broadcast).
24. 14. Use high-quality graphics. Use high-quality graphics
including photographs. You can take your own high-quality
photographs with your digital camera, purchase
professional stock photography, or use the plethora of
high-quality images available on line (be cautious of
copyright issues, however). Never simply stretch a small,
low-resolution photo to make it fit your layout.
25. 15. Have a visual theme, but avoid using PowerPoint
templates. You clearly need a consistent visual theme
throughout your presentation, but most templates included in
PowerPoint have been seen by your audience countless times
(and besides, the templates are not all that great to begin
with).
26. 16. Use appropriate charts. Always be
asking yourself, “How much detail do I
need?” Presenters are usually guilty of
including too much data in their onscreen charts. There are several ways to
display your data in graphic form; here
are a few things to keep in mind: Pie
charts, Vertical Bar Charts, Horizontal
Bar Charts and Line Charts.
27. 17. Use color well. Color
evokes feelings. Color is
emotional. The right color
can help persuade and
motivate. Studies show that
color usage can increase
interest
and
improve
learning comprehension and
retention.
28. 18. Choose your fonts well. Fonts communicate subtle
messages in and of themselves, which is why you
should choose fonts deliberately. Use the same font
set throughout your entire slide presentation, and use
no more than two complementary fonts. Make sure
you know the difference between a Serif font and a
Sans-Serif font.
29. 19. Use video or audio.
Use video and audio when
appropriate. Using video
clips to show concrete
examples promotes active
cognitive processing, which
is the natural way people
learn. You can use audio
clips (such as interviews) as
well.
30. 20. Spend time in the slide sorter. According to the
Segmentation Principle of multimedia learning theory,
people comprehend better when information is presented
in small chunks or segments. By getting out of the Slide
View and into the Slide Sorter view, you can see how the
logical flow of your presentation is progressing.
