Description:
In this course, participants learn proven strategies for creating presentations that bring ideas to life and communicate the message. Features presented go beyond standard backgrounds and text so participants can really connect with their audience. They will get ideas for managing student projects, and using PowerPoint as an active learning tool in the classroom as well.
UEN has partnered with LearnKey to offer an online and computer-based training course on MS PowerPoint software. LearnKey’s materials include video of an engaging expert, along with easy to understand visual concept explanations. Screen capture tutorials, “labs” for practice and interactive tests on concept segments add up to clear, easy to follow skills training. UEN adds stimulating interactive discussions among class participants, the support of a live human facilitator, and assignments that help participants move beyond the skills to effectively integrate these tools in their curriculum and practice. Participants have opportunities for practice, project development and feedback within the online course environment.
Optional Equipment Purchase: Course material CDs
Description:
The LearnKey training materials are available on stand-alone CDs. These CDs work only on WINDOWS computers. The CDs contain training materials, but DO NOT include the software. We STRONGLY recommend that you have the software available to practice with and use. The fee pays for the materials on CD and the LICENSE to install those materials on up to three computers. CD purchase is indicated if a) your Internet connection is not adequate to carry the video files available online (must be high-speed!), or b) you wish to retain copies of the materials to keep and review after class is over. Note that our $40 cost is much less than retail cost for these materials, but you must participate in the class to qualify for the reduced cost materials.
