Question

True / False.

Answer 1

The statement given in the question is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

• As a basic guideline for online public presentation,it is never recommended to simply read from slides by just scrolling the slides.
• It will basically not only demotivate the audience from listening to the presenter but shift the attention away from the main topic of the presentation.
• In any public presentation using online tools,it is almost imperative that the presenter persistently holds audience attention towards the messages and ideas conveyed through the presentation and enable to thoroughly understand the presentation topic by detailed and appropriate explanation of the main contents or ideas pertaining to the topic.
• Hence, a good presenter is expected to freely move around, interact with the audience whenever required,provide elaborate explanations of the individual ideas and concepts related to the main presentation topic,conduct a question and answer session with the audience and so on,instead of just reading loudly from the presentation slides and concluding the session.
