presentatienoot

Presentatienoot is a term used in Dutch-language contexts to describe a device or method that provides notes and cues to a speaker during a presentation. The word is a compound of presentatie and noot. In practice, a presentatienoot can take several forms, ranging from physical cue cards and printed notes to digital solutions such as apps or slide-integrated prompts on a smartphone or tablet.

Typical uses include classrooms, seminars, and business meetings. Its purpose is to help the presenter cover key points, manage time, and maintain smooth transitions, while allowing some eye contact with the audience.

Variations include physical cue cards; digital cueing apps; and devices that synchronize with slides or offer teleprompter-like features.

Advantages include improved organization and reduced risk of forgetting points. Limitations include potential overreliance on notes and the risk of reading rather than presenting naturally.

The concept aligns with broader use of presentation aids and reflects how Dutch-speaking educators and professionals integrate cues into performance.
