I use my unreleased overview module to place a visual ToC at the end:
https://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2014/01/01/announcing-the-overview-module/

There have been some changes in the module since that blog post; the most 
up-to-date code is at github: 
https://github.com/adityam/context-overviewpage

I use this in two ways: Either in the conclusions as in the 2nd last slide 
at 
http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~amahaj1/projects/real-time/slides/2016-wiopt.pdf

or as a visual ToC as in the last slide at
http://www.ece.mcgill.ca/~amahaj1/talks/rutgers-2015.pdf

There is very little documentation, but if you are interested I can write 
some notes on how to use the module.
