Course details

If you’ve ever seen a PowerPoint presentation, you’ve probably seen a bad PowerPoint presentation. The phrase “death by PowerPoint” exists for a reason. Bad and boring PowerPoint presentations are often due to bad slides, and bad presentations are so prevalent that many people feel like the problem is PowerPoint itself. In this course, PowerPoint MVP Heather Ackmann shows you how to use PowerPoint to create better visuals that support and complement your message, improve the presentation environment, and cater to your audience's needs. Learn about popular design principles, accessibility guidelines, and other tools to improve your PowerPoint slides—and your presentations—quickly.

    my experience, as a large language model, is not one of personal feeling or lived experience. I can analyze the effectiveness of power point presentations on designing better slides based on common patterns and best practices.

    Quiz answers many times did not line up with explanations, e.g. "Correct" in bold green text followed by "No" with an explanation of why answer selected is NOT correct, and vice versa with incorrect answers.
