Performance-Based Objectives
Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Start the Presentations application; open an existing slide show; use context-sensitive help to identify features in the application window; navigate between individual slides and different working environments using the Slide View tabs; display and navigate a slide show on your computer monitor using the QuickPlay tab; and close a slide show.
- Create and save a new slide show; insert title and bullet slides in Slide Editor; add, edit, and spell check slides in Slide Outliner view; format text; create and modify a new project slide show using the PerfectExpert; insert a comment; and disable default settings.
- Create slides; identify and use Presentations' drawing tools; draw lines and basic shapes, as well as move, size, duplicate, and delete them; insert a piece of clip art from the Scrapbook and add text to a slide; and use TextArt to create and modify a shaped text object, and align objects on a slide.
- Create and modify an organization chart's structure by adding, moving, and deleting subordinates; format the appearance of an organization chart; and changing font and box properties and connectors.
- Create a new data chart slide using the Data Chart Gallery to create a default chart (vertical bar); identify the various chart regions; use the chart's datasheet; and edit data, legend placement, number formatting, and chart types.
- Change an existing slide show's appearance by applying a different master; use the Layout and Background Layers to change a show's default settings; use the Slide Sorter to rearrange and delete slides; re-purpose existing slide shows for different audiences; add transitions between slides; animate individual slide elements; and make a QuickShow file so the show will be displayed faster when it's presented.
- Add speaker notes and prepare portable slide shows using Show On The Go and Publish To PDF; discuss available printing options; and turn a slide show into a Web-ready HTML presentation using the Internet Publisher.
