ONLINE POSTER PRESENTATIONS

The main goal of the poster walks is to gain the maximum benefit from the scientific work presented and to create a lively interaction between poster authors and interested University visitors (faculty and/or other students). You must practice your presentation and find a place where it is quiet that you get no interruptions , at least while you present. Your presentation should last about 5 minutes max time. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

INSTRUCTIONS

Poster

All poster authors need to develop a hardcopy poster and place it in a visible area at a place where you feel comfortable and that natural light or lights help the audience in Zoom view the poster.

Poster Presentation:

A poster is a visual presentation of your research study. Use schematic diagrams, graphs, tables, and other strategies to direct the visual attention of the viewer. You may also use text as part of your information session.

A poster addresses how you propose to conduct your research study. State the research question/objective clearly in the poster and use your presentation to provide a clear and explicit take-home message.

Research Title:

Include your research title in large font in the upper left corner of your poster.

What will you need?

First, prepare a PowerPoint presentation to design your poster ( Template enclosed in the Modules section on Canvas ). You will integrate the sections of the poster (see below) in a PowerPoint slide. Once you finalize and are satisfied with your content, then you will be ready to prepare your poster for print.

Tip: Makes the most of this space, but does not exceed the area. On the day of your presentation, bring your push pins to mount your poster.

Presenters are responsible for their posters.

Content

Posters usually have a similar structure to a research paper or journal article: Your poster should include:

1) Introduction (i.e., brief rationale or review of relevant research),

2) A brief statement explaining the gaps in the literature

3) Research Question/AIM

4) Method section,

5) Results,

6) Recommendations and

7) Conclusions

8) References used in the poster, NOT in the paper (otherwise these will not fit)

Breaking information down into sections with headings will help others understand your poster easily and quickly .

During the poster presentation, most people cannot read and process long sections of text. Therefore, keep text to highlight main points and focus on the most critical ideas . You can convey details via discussion when you are standing by your poster.

Format

· Use bullet points to simplify sections like the introduction and conclusions.

· Use large fonts, such as the 36-point type for section headings, and 24-point type or more substantial for the text. Make effective use of underlines and boldface.

· Use graphs and figures.

· Make your poster visually easy to read
