Author, Dazzle Your Audience With Multimedia Presentations!
Dear Business Professional,
I'm sure you've been in the audience when a speaker used an overhead
projector to display transparencies or PowerPoint slides. Did you enjoy
the presentation? Was it riveting? Did you receive the speaker's message?
Did you fall asleep?
We've all walked out of presentations thinking we would have learned
more if the presentation had been more exciting. Speakers who read bulleted
lists not only lose their audience, they lose their professionalism and
credibility. And, if they're trying to close a sale,
they lose that,
too.
A couple years ago, I was listening to a technical presentation at Hewlett-Packard.
As the PowerPoint presentation advanced from slide to
slide, I noticed objects zooming in from nowhere to their positions on
the slide.
I thought, "I just have to learn how to do that!"
So I did.
Then
I thought, "I
should develop a training course so that others can learn how to do that
as well."
I
did that, too. Here it is!
Keep your audience awake, enthusiastic, and receptive.
Use multimedia elements
in your presentation!
A bulleted list of plain text doesn't cut it anymore. You need excitement
in your presentations.
This eLearning course (PDF
format) teaches you how to make
exciting PowerPoint 2002 presentations using the following multimedia
elements:
Pictures and AutoShapes
Charts, graphs, and tables
Animation
Sound
Movies
Interactivity
Publish your presentation in multiple delivery formats
You'll learn how to "repurpose" your multimedia presentation
for multiple audiences:
Deliver your presentation to a live audience.
Publish your presentation for offline viewing.
Create self-running presentations.
Create self-running presentations for a kiosk at a trade show.
Deliver presentations on the Web,
complete with advanced navigation bars.
Take a test drive
View a simple Web-based
presentation that you will actually create during the course when learning
how to create a navigation system. Try the navigation bar and all the buttons.
When you
click the Slide
Show button (Internet Explorer),
the presentation plays in full-screen mode. Click your mouse to advance from
slide to slide. Press the Esc key
if you want to exit the slide
show before it finishes. Play around with it. This stuff is fun!
Note: You need Internet Explorer 5 or later
(recommended), or Netscape Navigator 5 or
later to view the Web-based presentation.
Use your imagination. Can you think of another application for PowerPoint
presentations? Hint: This Web-based presentation is an actual Web site
complete with
an expandable navigation bar. Could you use PowerPoint to create a fancy
Web site?!

Course Features
PowerPoint 2002 is a forest full of tremendous capabilities. I'll show
you a path through that forest and encourage you to explore your own paths
along the way. There is much to see and learn.
This course consists of Learning Modules. Each module contains:
Lessons to teach you how to incorporate multimedia
elements into your presentations. Each lesson contains detailed
tutorials with plenty of hand
holding to
keep you on track. Each tutorial
builds
on the
previous one throughout the course. By the end of the course, you'll have
a full-blown multimedia presentation.
Hands-on lab exercise to reinforce your learning.
Each lab problem is stated in general terms to encourage you to think and
to explore
additional ground on your own. This is “play time” and
your chance to gain valuable experience. The more you do, the more you'll
learn.
You'll build a presentation from
scratch, enhance it throughout the course, and publish it in several formats.
Dozens of full-color,
high-resolution screen captures show you exactly what to do. The following
sample gives you a sneak preview:
The PDF course file incorporates the Acrobat "bookmarks" feature
which functions as an expandable and collapsible table of contents. This allows
you
to quickly
jump to a module, lesson, or topic. After you complete the course, you can
use the training materials as a quick-reference guide or refresher course.
