Introduction

A good PowerPoint creates a focal point for audiences while also serving as a content guide for presenters, so they can present confidently. The visual medium also allows presenters to translate complex ideas, facts, or figures into easily understandable and memorable visuals.

In this beginner course we will guide you through the essentials of using PowerPoint so you can start creating stunning slide decks that use a variety of media to present information in an interesting way, helping you communicate effectively and engaging your audience.
