Description
We go through step by step in a sample presentation and you will build up your virtual environment from scratch. You will learn the basic techniques to develop your story with characters and different scenes. The whole process will be a bit like making your own movie. It will enable you to put yourself in a storyteller role, while we keep the focus on educational and/or selling purposes.
Depending on your content, you can achieve your presentation goals easier, if you can create a movie-like experience. A movie or simply a video clip is never static but dynamic, in every second a surprise can arise, if we enjoy watching it, we don't even have time to get bored, keeping our attention is not even a question. When you explain something in PowerPoint, you can follow the same principles because you have all the tools to make it happen. You will simply need a well developed structure, characters, well fitting pictures, consistency in your design, effective zoom movements (camera movements), then you are good to go.
Enjoy the new PowerPoint that changed the game and utilize it whenever you present, teach, sell or simply explain your knowledge, idea, information digitally.

Hi there, my name is Bertalan Köles!
I´m an Instructional Designer and eLearning Developer, I design digital learning experiences daily, using multiple, complex software programs such as Articulate Storyline 360, Articulate Rise 360.
I help trainers, teachers, companies, institutions, corporate education professionals to take their eLearning to the next level.
My story in a nutshell:
Effective knowledge transfer has always excited me. Visualizing, structuring all kind of objects and trying to explain concepts, logical connections; led me to become a Prezi software expert in 2014. Some years later it was inevitable that I transferred myself into an eLearning specialist and trainer.
Technology has a lot to do with everything in my career. I started with analog trainings, analog tools as mind mapping, etc. Analog education has turned more and more into digital education, so today educational technology is my only focus in the Learning and Development industry. Should you be a person who is interested in eLearning in any fashion, I´m looking forward to welcoming you as my student.
