PowerPoint: From Outline to Presentation

1h 56m Appropriate for all Nov 20, 2013

Sometimes presenters get so wrapped up in creating the perfect slideshow, they forget
its job is to support their talking points. In this course, Rich Harrington shares his
workflow for building an effective PowerPoint presentation, starting with a strong
outline. Learn to create the outline, get input from collaborators, and then
transition that outline to an initial slide deck. Once you're in PowerPoint, Rich will
show you how to format your slides; add tables, graphics, movies, and animation (like
transitions and reveals); and prepare and rehearse your presentation for your final
audience.
