Course Description

PowerPoint Misuse Syndrome dominates the business world. People use PowerPoint for three purposes: as a visual enhancement to their presentation (the intended purpose); as a stand-alone document distributed meant to communicate all the information in the presentation; and as a means to prompt the speaker. However, when you use the same PowerPoint for all three purposes, you lose the communication potential in all of them.

The focus on this course is to learn how to utilize the robust tools that PowerPoint offers in a professional and effective way.  We will focus on “what to do” as well as “what not to do.”

Learning Objectives:

Some of the problems that will be addressed include:

  • Reporting instead of presenting

  • Poor quality visuals

  • Too much information included on a slide

  • Font problems

  • Misuse of colors
