Engaging Slides for Online Courses
This is the third of eight mini courses in the 'Technical Guide to Creating Online Courses'
Slide can work well to add interest to you topic, but creating a slide show for an online course is different to creating slides for an online course. Find out how in this mini course. There are two parts:
PART 1 - If you are used to creating slides for training or presentations you may want to just view PART 1. This is an overview of things to consider for using slide in online learning.
PART 2 - If you aren't sure how to create master slides, insert objects and animate them, you would also benefit from viewing PART 2 as well.

I've not used PowerPoint for six years - it has changed so much

This session takes you from basics to some of the more advanced features which should mean you can create really engaging slide decks without confusing or distracting your audience with wizardry.

“Nikie’s help, support and organisational skills made it so easy for me to get my first course up and running. I loved her tutorials and feedback and I have gone on to launch a further 3 courses with her help. Nikie’s clear instruction makes it easy to create and launch a course. Thanks Nikie, I couldn’t have done it without you!”

“Nikie has been such an amazing help to me to get my courses online. Not only does she explain in straightforward and understandable ways, she is also great in offering suggestions geared to the course. I definitely couldn’t have done this without her support.”

“As someone, prior to launching her first course, who had totally no knowledge of how to create an eLearning course, Nikie has been invaluable. She has been responsive and clear every time I have reached out to ask another (sometimes very similar) question. This has given me confidence to know that someone with patience, understanding and ability to explain things in a non-techy language is readily available.”
