How to Use This Tutorial
This tutorial is presented in 11 short videos, whose average running time is 5 minutes. The Explanation videos explain the learning principles and show you PowerPoint techniques you can use to design slides according to the principles. The Resources provide a summary of these videos in the Checklist for Principles of Learning document. The Self-Paced Exercises videos demonstrate how to do those techniques. The resource Step-by-Step Guide to the Exercises provides a step-by-step summary of the technique. This tutorial requires basic PowerPoint skills.
We suggest you use the tutorial in this way:
- Watch the Introduction video first. Then watch one of the other explanation videos.
- Watch a Self-Paced Exercises video for a demonstration of how to do one of the techniques shown in the explanation video.
- Practice the related technique in PowerPoint. Download the same slides as used in the videos (Exercise Slides.ppt ) so you can practice on them, and print the Step-by-Step Guide to the Exercises.pdf so you can follow it when practicing.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are done.
