About the Level 1 Workshop Sessions: Basic- and Medium-level PowerPoint Skills

Level 1 contains two sessions that start learners from the very beginning—opening PowerPoint and working with a blank slide show. The sessions quickly go on to highlight essential aspects of building and modifying standard PowerPoint slide shows, as well as delivering them in traditional linear fashion. The material covered here is roughly equivalent to the coursework of two (and sometimes three) community college classes on PowerPoint. If you are very familiar with PowerPoint's standard operations, you may be able to skip Level 1 and launch right into Relational Presentation training in Level 2. However, first look through the list of topics below. They are prerequisite skills you should know BEFORE starting Relational Presentation training. In Level 1 you learn:
