Wiafe M. attended Advanced PowerPoint for Business

Great experience w/ NYIM. The classes were small so there was a lot more attention paid to the students. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions and even had time to show with hands on practice. I will definitely be coming back for more courses.

Detailed Course Overview

PowerPoint for Business Level 2 is a great class for those that want to continue to advance their skills beyond the first course, or for those that currently build presentations but want to become more sophisticated with the tools they use.

We begin with a discussion of the Slide Masters, which allows the user to format either all slides in the presentation or all slides of a specific layout, the same way. A typical presentation consists of slides with varying layouts (title slide, content/layout slides, etc.), so using the slide master is a very efficient way to ensure that the overall presentation is fluid and unbroken.

Collaborating and commenting is covered next. In collaborating we discuss how to take an outline created in Microsoft Word and import it into PowerPoint—thereby allowing the software to properly allocate the information to its appropriate placeholders. Students also learn how to reuse slides, which facilitates the importing of slides from other presentations. In commenting, we experience the very interactive method of creating and replying to comments within our presentations.

A section on Navigation follows in which hyperlinks and action buttons are explained. Hyperlinks allow users to access websites or email addresses within a presentation, whereas action buttons allow movement within a presentation. Elements such as these transform a presentation from a lecture into a much more interactive experience.

Incorporating multimedia within a presentation is taking on greater importance, nowadays. PowerPoint makes it easy to embed both audio files and video files that can be triggered by a mouse click, or a scroll over. Music can be made to play across several slides, or an entire presentation and media files can be easily edited within the software, without harming the original.

As in the first course, a section each on tables and charts is included, but this time the focus is on importing from another Microsoft program, which allows for much more sophistication. Various methods are examined that carry out various results.

We end the course with exercises on custom shows and how to record a slideshow. Custom shows let the user take one presentation and create several alternatives within the same file. For example, a presentation on medical benefits could contain 20 slides in total but may consist of custom shows for staff, managers, or executives, in which only the relevant slides would be shown to each group. Recorded slideshows are often used for kiosk presentations, where information is looped for people to view at their leisure.
