PowerPoint Course Content
PowerPoint Training Course with added oomph.
What do you mean ‘added oomph’ in PowerPoint?
There is so much more to PowerPoint than static presenting and although this is an introduction level PowerPoint course it is packed with extra content.
Work with and understand design, structure, colour and type to help bring your brand together. Leave no-linear presenting including bullet points behind and expect to work with video, audio and animated Excel linked charts.
Learn how to add a live talking head feed AKA a cameo video and find out how the design side works giving you eye-catching, non-linear and very professional looking presentations.
PowerPoint Training Video & Audio
Did you know that video vastly outperforms other mediums in engagement metrics like retention and sharing.
For example, viewers retain 95% of a message from video compared to 10% from text, and videos are shared 12 times more often than text and images combined
Which is one of the reasons why this Introduction to PowerPoint Course content leans towards multi-media presenting by using video, audio and dynamic data linking in charts to other Microsoft software such as Excel.
You’ll learn how to insert and edit video and audio naturally into your workflow to create modern, highly visual presentations.
