Whether you are a Traditional Undergraduate or an Adult student (ROC, CAPA, Life-long Learner)
you may be asked to create PowerPoint presentations for your courses. These video tutorials
have been selected specifically for students with no prior experience with PowerPoint in mind,
although there is good stuff here for intermediate viewers as well.
You will find the presentation of these tutorials easy to navigate and informative.
We have included in the left column:
- What is covered, so you can find the tasks and tools you specifically need.
- The Time, so you know how long it will take to watch an entire video segment
- Needed Skills/knowledge so that you do not get lost in following the explanations because of missing experience or understanding
- Link to Video on Youtube so that you can go to Youtube and expand the video to full screen viewing
- YouTube contributor so that the author is attributed, and you can go to their channel and view other
helpful material they have possibly posted for everyone to use. - Text Based Instructions are for those who prefer to read the Microsoft text tutorials for the same set of skills
- Adding a new slide and working with Text
- Animations and Entrances
- Adding Transitions between Slides
- Working with Images
- Cropping, adjusting Images
- Charts and Graphs
- Embedding a Youtube Video
