Create a presentation template for learners |
Level of difficulty: Intermediate |
|
As an educator, you will be able to save yourself time by creating templates for presentations that can be used over and over again and by different learners. This will help the learners to structure their presentations. For example you can help learners by creating a PowerPoint presentation that includes your step by step instructions to learners on slides that can be hidden from view in the final presentation. There are many uses for such presentation templates such as project or task instructions to learners, reports, formal presentations. |
