How many meetings have you been to? How many school and office presentations have you participated in? What about lectures you’ve sat through, or conferences attended? And how many of those had a visual element involving slides, photographs, infographics, or – heavens forbid – “clipart”?
Chances are good, then, that you’ve witnessed the glory of a PowerPoint presentation! With 95% market share and over 500 million users, PowerPoint presentation software is one of the most widely used applications for developing those visual presentations we all know and love. Capable of imparting knowledge to the public at breakneck speed, you can say goodbye forever to those outdated, beige-Becky, pen-and-paper meetings of the past and travel into the twentieth – I mean twenty-first century.
By enrolling in BTEC 146: PowerPoint Fundamentals, you’ll earn 2 credits while completing carefully curated, self-paced modules to learn the basic capabilities of this popular application. Creating and editing slide shows, applying templates, formatting and even printing will be permanent fixtures in your PowerPoint wheelhouse upon completion. You’ll also find extensive instruction on the functionality and implementation of charts and other graphical features of the program.
Not only will you finish the course with a firm understanding of the business-side of PowerPoint, but you’ll also learn a basic coverage of graphic best practices (Avoiding Clipart 101 doesn’t have as much of a ring to it) so you can help educate the masses through listening and watching your personalized rollercoaster of unbridled creativity and information. You’ve got this – and they will too!
