Abstract: This research establishes the role of communication education in employability by determining how employers of graduates view communication, identifying communication skills that employers view as relevant, and establishing whether these skills are included in communication courses.

TL;DR: A systematic literature review structuring the literature on PowerPoint in three chronological phases and identifying 18 constraining qualities classified into three categories: cognitive, emotional, and social provides implications for educators’ and practitioners’ use (and nonuse) of PowerPoint through synthesis and description of suchconstraining qualities.
Abstract: PowerPoint is a dominant communication tool in business and education. It allows
for creating professional-looking presentations easily, but without understanding
its constraining qualities it can be used inappropriately. Therefore we conducted
a systematic literature review structuring the literature on PowerPoint in three
chronological phases (Early Criticism, Heated Debate, and Scientific Take-Off) and
identifying 18 constraining qualities classified into three categories: cognitive, emotional, and social. This article provides implications for educators' and practitioners' use (and nonuse) of PowerPoint through synthesis and description of such constraining qualities. Directions for future research are developed by identifying theoretical gaps in literature on PowerPoint.
