A couple of infographic résumé sites, vizualize.me and re.vu, sprouted up that use your LinkedIn data to show your career stats. Just create an account, connect it to LinkedIn, and you get some graphs that show when and where you worked. It's a visual form of your LinkedIn profile with a goal to replace the "old" and "boring" résumé that uses just text.

You will find a significant amount of research that strongly supports the move to a learner centered teaching practice on this site. It also contains all of my most recent presentations and more than 30 instructional resources designed to assist faculty and students in making the changes they will need to make if learner centered teaching is to be a successful learning practice for both groups.

Make your text huge. And then get rid of half of the words and make it huger. Most of my text in my entire deck is at least 90pt. Usually I like to sit around 150pt The easiest way to make your slides visually interesting is to play around with the physical shape of the letters that constitute the word. Simple reiteration is important.
