Have you ever heard the phrase, “death by PowerPoint”? Many professional trainers are barely scratching the surface of what presentation slide decks can do. When misused or underused, slide decks can be a great cure for insomnia. But when used effectively, strategically, and creatively, your slides can multiply the impact of your instruction and greatly increase student engagement, comprehension, and retention. Well made slides are also a fantastic organizational tool for instructors to stay on task and optimize their time management. If you’re curious about how you might supercharge your slide decks, this webinar series is for you!

The course is conducted over two separate two-hour sessions. The course tuition covers both sessions.

• In this second session, we’ll work live in real slide decks and walk through the editing and refinement process together
• All attendees will have an opportunity to submit sample decks that could be used (anonymously) in the workshop
• All attendees will receive at least one sample deck to reference and follow along during the workshop (two monitors highly recommended, but not required)

• Trainers who think presentation slides are useless
• Trainers who aren’t sure how to leverage slide decks
