Method

· Please prepare a maximum of 7 PowerPoint slides.

· This includes one slide as the title slide that includes the title of the electronic poster and the authors’ names and affiliations.

· One slide with collective group references

· All e-Posters must be no longer than 4 minutes in total elapsed duration (including Title Slide) including transitions between slides.

· Don’t cram too much information into the electronic poster. Focus on a few major points – aim to convey to the audience 3 – 5 major points only, with all other text or images supporting these points.

· Consider using not only words but images and colour to enhance the appeal to the audience.

· Use a clear, readable font style that is at least 14- point in size so that the text is easily readable from 2 metres away.

· Avoid abbreviations, acronyms and jargon

· Please ensure graphical and visual clarity when presenting numerical or statistical data

· Please include transitions and animation to assist the impact and clarity of your slides and to allow automatic movement through your slide sequence.

· Ask yourself: Is the message clear? Do the important points stand out? Is there a balance between words and illustrations?

· The movement (pathway) of the eye through the poster ought to be natural (down columns and along rows). Size attracts attention. Arrows, hands, numbers and symbols can clarify sequence.

· Do not overload the poster. More material may mean less communication. Ask yourself: What do I want the viewer to remember?

· The poster should be understandable without oral explanation.

Class Presentation

During Week 6, each group will be required to present their e-poster to the class. This presentation must take no longer than 15 minutes in total.  This would include 10 minutes to present and 5 minutes for question time.

Top E-posters

Students whose e-poster receives a high grade will be considered for public display during International Nurses Week (8-12 May 2017).

Lecturers reserve the right to adjust timings within and between slides in order to improve overall presentation if the e-poster is selected for public display.  No changes to content or format of slide presentation will be made unless in consultation with the e-poster author

 Topics

These will be assigned in Week 2 in tutorial class by your lecturer. You will be allocated to a group of no more than 5 students.

 

1. The metabolic syndrome is an adverse effect of 2nd generation anti-psychotic medications and develops in part from large weight gain. Newer anti-psychotic medications are being introduced to the market with a lower weight gain profile. Discuss this strategy and other means that have an evidenced base for reducing the development of metabolic syndrome.
