Poster template and examples
• You may use the poster template provided in the Assessment 2 section in Blackboard, as
a guide to design your poster. Please note that this sample poster template is to be used
as an example only.
• You may use the following link to view examples of posters that have been designed to
explain scientific concepts: https://ylmsportscience.com/category/recovery/page/3/
Word count and layout
• Any content over the above stated word limit (1500 words +/- 10% one PPT slide
poster) may not be assessed.
• Reference is not included in the word count.
• Use of diagrams, figures and tables should be limited to two each. Please label all
tables and figures and refer to the label in the text. For example: ‘As shown in Figure
1 _’.
• Please use appropriate sub-headings to organise and structure the information.
• Relevant content, sub-headings including title, introduction, conclusion and the
reference list must be presented in a single slide.
Referencing
• Referencing is mandatory.
• In-text citations as well as a reference list following the APA referencing style should
be included.
• A minimum of two and a maximum of ten references are required.

• You may use any font size/type to match your poster’s needs. A small font size is
recommended for in-text referencing.
Audio presentation
• While the one slide poster should include all the relevant information regarding the
chosen topic, the 3 minutes audio presentation is still a mandatory component for
your final poster submission.
• For example, assume that you are a health care practitioner presenting a poster at a
conference. You are also competing in the ‘Best poster’ contest. A judge arrives at
your poster and seeks clarification on the content from you. What would you say in
three minutes about the poster? This is what you would record.
How to record a narrated presentation?

• You may record the audio using other means and may submit it as a separate audio
file.
• Please ensure that you upload the audio file along with the final poster and then click
submit.
