Learn PowerPoint with this complete PowerPoint tutorial, quizzes and exercises.

PowerPoint is a powerful tool that was developed to help anyone create amazing presentations, no matter what their technical ability.

But too many people use PowerPoint the wrong way.

What is the wrong way?

Well, I’d say it was any way that makes your audience wish they weren’t watching your presentation. Or worse, puts them to sleep.

I am sure you have you seen PowerPoint presentations like that.

What made them boring?

Too much text?

Endless bullets?

Maybe the presenter just read the slides?

But PowerPoint presentations don’t need to be boring, and that is why I decided to create this course.

My goal for this course is twofold:

To teach you how to use PowerPoint, so you are comfortable and competent finding your way around the interface. When you need to create a presentation, I want you to feel confident in using PowerPoint, even excited.
To explore the basics of good presentation design. We’ll consider what makes a presentation boring and try our best to avoid those things. We’ll look at how you can keep your audience engaged and interested in what you are saying by strategically using the tools built into PowerPoint.

The ultimate goal of this course is to teach you to create engaging PowerPoint presentations that entertain and educate your audience, while keeping them awake and focused on you. I want to teach you to create PowerPoint presentations that you are proud of, and people talk about – in a good way.

This course uses PowerPoint from Office 365, so it is the most up-to-date version. If you use an older version, the screens may be a little different.

What is covered:

a thorough understanding of the PowerPoint interface and how to use it.
How to set up your PowerPoint presentations the correct way from the start.
The principles of good design when it comes to PowerPoint presentations. You’ll learn about the mistakes most presenters make and how to avoid them in your own work.
The slide master, and how to use it effectively in your own workflow, to make creating presentations easier and more efficient.
How to insert objects into slides, align them, selecting them with the selection pane, Z order, grouping, and much more.
Adding an formatting text, including word art to add a fancy twist to your text.
Adding shapes, joining shapes, flipping and rotating, and the format shape options. We’ll also look at the format Painter, as well as a range of merge tools built into PowerPoint to create new and interesting ways to manipulate shapes.
Adding pictures as well as removing picture backgrounds inside PowerPoint.
The benefits of adding vectors and icons.
Smartart.
Adding charts and configuring them to show only the information you want them to show, with a look at chart elements, and chart data.
Adding and configuring tables to hold data.
Adding audio and video.
Choosing the best transitions for your slides.
Adding animations to your slides and using them strategically to draw the eye of your audience to the part of the slide you are focusing on.
Transition and animation timing.
Motion path animations.
Using the animation pane to fine tune the sequence of animations on your slide.
Stacking animations so that a single object can have more than one animation on a slide.
Setting up the slideshow to run full screen or in a window, or using the outstanding presenter view which gives you all of the tools you need to create that perfect presentation.
Printing stuff, including handouts for your audience or notes for yourself.
The course includes over a dozen practice exercises for you to have a go at, as well as solutions to those exercises where appropriate.
With 12 quizzes, you’ll be able to test your progress as you go through the course.

We will end the course by creating a demo presentation of a real-world application while trying to incorporate the ideas we discussed about good slide design to make our presentation stand out from the crowd.

By the end of this course you will be both confident and competent in using PowerPoint to create amazing presentations.
