Master Microsoft PowerPoint 2021 the Easy Way

In this brand-new course, PowerPoint 2021, students will learn how to create contemporary, visually stunning, and creative PowerPoint presentations from scratch. It’s the perfect antidote to ‘Death by PowerPoint’ syndrome!

Starting with the basics, we build a strong foundation from which to learn intermediate and advanced skills as we progress through the course. Students will take part in a slide workshop, where they get to create slides from scratch, building knowledge as they go.

We will explore all the PowerPoint functionalities that everyone knows and loves: slide layouts, master slides, animation, transitions, shapes, images, and text.

We will cover the new functionalities in PowerPoint 2021: the eyedropper, slide zoom, summary zoom, the morph transition, and advanced morph as we learn advanced skills for working with imagery and shapes.

Students will also learn how to create their own diagrams, charts, and tables and work more efficiently using keyboard shortcuts.

This course is designed to invite students to think about PowerPoint differently and encourage them to unleash their creativity to create dynamic, modern slide decks.
