There are some technological solutions, like electronic whiteboards, or cameras pointed at whiteboards/flipboards. Frame rate makes no difference. Work is done through conversation. If we use a presentation, the conversation is scripted. I, the presenter, say stuff. You, the audience, can only reply. When we collaborate to develop something at work, we hardly ever do it with a presentation. Presentations work best for tutorial and for showing proposals. > What about people who have difficulties understanding the speaker without some > sort of context? With some speakers, context doesn't help. Slides help bad enunciation. They usually don't help missing context. > What about being able to understand the problem that will be discussed before > the session, so to cut on the "thinking out loud" on the microphone?

I have three. I don't get a flip-chart, so I do have slide-sets. There is one 5-minute thing that I'm going to do with hand-waving and no slides, but otherwise, I'm doing things the way that people expect them to be. Yoav
