Effective Presentations for Virtual Groups

What type of presentation is most effective for virtual groups? How may you be comprehensive in your approach?

For virtual groups the most effective form of presentation is Powerpoint. Powerpoint gives the presenter the ability to control what all the audience members are seeing in the information. It is necessary that the presenter be conscious of having as much information as possible in the presentation and speakers notes to insure the majority of questions are addressed in the presentation.

One of the things to consider and make note of when doing powerpoint presentations in a virtual group is the version of powerpoint and speed of the machines being used. If the presenter does not account for slower computers they may create a graphically filled presentation that does not run effectively. You don't want to make the presentation too basic but it helps to be aware of how it may come across to others on their systems.
