Speakers are strongly encouraged to incorporate 1-5 audience response questions into their presentation. Questions should be in multiple choice format (max. of 5 possible answers). Polling questions should be placed into your presentation to assess impact or stimulate discussion.

Note: the time required for these questions is part of the time allocated to your presentation and constitutes a part of the interactive learning requirements by the both Colleges.

Two polling question options to consider are:

1. Pre/Post Test: Create 1-5 multiple choice questions based on your presentation’s learning objectives. Place the same questions at both the very beginning and the very end of your presentation to test the audience’s knowledge before and after your session.
2. Diagnosis: Intersperse your presentation with 2-3 cases for the audience to diagnose. (i.e. What is your diagnosis for a patient exhibiting the above?)

Please have a slide with your polling question(s) incorporated into your Power Point presentation. Include the slide numbers in the body of the email when you hand in your presentation so they are not missed!

In the case of conflicts, a second slide explaining how the conflicts have been mitigated is required. Please place the disclosure as the second slide immediately following the title of your presentation. The Learning Objectives slide should follow directly after.

All PowerPoint presentation slides should be in 16:9 aspect (i.e. widescreen) and not 4:3 aspect (the old standard).

If these elements are integral to your presentation, please inform us in advance and review the requirements below:

• Animation: To include animation(s) you will need to screenshare your presentation. This can be tested during your orientation; please let your Technical Director know that you would like to test this.
• Video: To include video(s) in your presentation, you will need to provide a YouTube link, or the video file itself that you would like played.

Note: Vimeo links are not supported.

For further assistance in considering the application of the fair dealing exception in any given case, please consult the University’s Fair Dealing Guidelines.

If it is still unclear whether a particular use is likely to constitute fair dealing, please contact the Scholarly Communications and Copyright Librarian, at copyright@library.utoronto.ca for assistance.
