I loathe text-heavy slides. The research I’ve seen says that when people are hearing •and• reading the same info at the same time, they listen worse and retain less than they would have from hearing •or• seeing alone. My experience bears this out.

My own thoughts, because nobody asked:

- Short text that anchors and summarizes is great. Key points concisely stated really help people who are getting lost in details due to lang or attention issues.

- Half the time, a long slide should just move into speaker notes.

- Sharing speaker notes is awesome.

- Factual “you should remember these details” sort of learning should never happen through lecture alone. Lecture itself is a deeply problematic pedagogical mechanism.
