    • Brief, extended, and hypothetical examples can be used to help an audience better understand and relate to key points of a presentation.
    • There are three main types of examples: brief, extended, and hypothetical.
    • Brief examples can be used by the presenter as an aside or on its own.
    • A presenter may use a brief example in a presentation on politics in explaining the Electoral College.
    • An extended example will likely take more time to explain than a brief example and will be about a more complex topic.
  • Content

    • Each Boundless concept  (the supporting element of the three-part content module) consists of the full text as well as a one-line "brief," key points, and key terms.
    • An concept in turn is constructed of a fixed set of elements: the full text (including any embedded multimedia) as well as multiple forms of summary: a one-line brief, three to six key points, and three to six key terms, all of which are presented in a blue box at the top of the concept page.
    • The brief is a one-sentence summary at the top of a concept page that provides the most condensed summary of the material presented in the the full text—the main takeaway from that concept.
    • Visible here are the brief, right above the blue box, and then the linked learning objective as well as the key points and key terms.
  • Fads

    • A fad, also known as a craze, refers to a fashion that becomes popular in a culture (or subcultures) relatively quickly, remains popular, often for a rather brief period, then loses popularity dramatically.

    • It’s worth mentioning that some briefs are better than others.
