Weekly Class Time Meeting

The first class day of class is based on our online schedule. We will meet each week using Collaborate web conferencing. Meetings will generally not run longer than one hour and thirty minutes. There is only 10 seats available online live classroom.

Class times are Monday through Thursday 6pm to 8pm on Saturday 10am to 12pm, 1pm to 3pm, and 5pm to 7pm.

Course Description

This presentation program has become synonymous for better or for worse with the slideshows speakers use to illustrate their points. Create and organize slides, and then bring them to life with animations and special effects.

PowerPoint 2010 teaches you how to create eye catching, professional presentations create slides, choose a theme, work with images, add notes, and liven up the show with animations and transitions. You’ll also learn how to create handouts, record narration for your slideshow, insert and edit video and audio clips, give a state of the art slideshow even turn your slides how into a video.

Course Organization and Environment

Class Meetings will be interactive and assignments will be practical and integrated into class time activities. The course will progress such that readings and class activities will build on and interact with concepts learned earlier in the course.

Therefore, in order for us to meet the goals of the course, everyone needs to come to class prepared and participate fully. Not doing so will affect our ability to meet the goals of this course.

In order to accomplish the goals of this course, we must have two equally important components:

 Time scheduled and organized by the instructor: class time, individual and small group meetings, and assignment deadlines

 Time scheduled and organized by you, the student, (to be used for): research, reading, reflecting, and completing reading questions, homework, and major

assignments.

By completing the assignments on time and coming prepared to class, we will all get the maximum benefit from our investment of time and effort into this course. Your

investment now will pay off handsomely later.
