You will still need to add information only pieces - consider creative ways to architect this information. Create Exploratory Navigation We need to treat our learners as adults and do our best to give them the freedom to pick out the information they need. MORE >>

Think of your slide as an image not an information radiator. As you can see above, I've provided an example of a slide which has a scaled down image and a lot of text. Here's an example for you.
