PowerPoint Workshop Tutorials

Microsoft PowerPoint is a program for creating slide presentations, both professional and personal.  A presentation is a document composed of a number of connected slides. Each slide may include concise information and/or images that are relative to the subject matter. PowerPoint makes creating a professional-looking presentation easy by providing a library of preformatted slides and templates. You can easily insert your information and images into a template and use the program’s tools to help you refine the appearance of the presentation. For instance, you may want to create a presentation outlining the steps necessary to bake a cake. You could create a separate slide for each step of the process. These slides could contain both the instructional text and/or images that give your audience a visualization of how each step in the process is completed.

The two classes and one quick start presented for PowerPoint here are:

• Introduction to PowerPoint XP
• Intermediate PowerPoint XP
• PowerPoint Animation QuickStart
  

These PowerPoint Workshops Tutorials will teach you how to use this presentation application to it fullest. Each PowerPoint workshop contains illustrated explanations and examples of the features being taught, followed by detailed learning activities. In the classes taught here you will learn the skills for using and understanding PowerPoint’s features and commands. By understanding how to use the topics learned in these tutorials, you will be well on your way to creating custom-looking, professional slide presentations that will grab and hold the attention of your audience. West Virginia University provides these free computer and software training workshops and materials (pdf format).
