Powerpoint as a rapid elearning development tool
Well, I admit that I was a little bit of an elearninng snob. I thought that the last thing that my courses needed was the dreaded powerpoint slides. I’ve been checking out different tools that can speed up my course content creation, and came across this great example of how you don’t necessarily need to always go high tech to deliver some useful content.
Tom Kuhlmann writes the Rapid eLearning Blog, and gave a great demonstration of using PowerPoint to create a replica of the well known Frogguts virtual dissection.
I’ve already used some of his ideas as I work on my online math course, as a way to provide some examples and provide some interactivity. It took some time to play with the Powerpoint and remember how to use targets etc.., but it’s definitely a tool that I need to place back in my arsenal of elearning tools
Now…all I need is a whole swack of time to create these bits of content within an overall engaging interactive course:-)
