Hey guys. I'm Anthony and in this course we will be exploring the many unique and useful features of Microsoft Sway.
We will undertake several class projects, namely around building a single page website and making a newsletter.
Both of these examples can be adapted to suit a range of other uses, but in doing so we will work learn to organise content, control themes and layouts, embed images, video, audio and rich media content, and then later how to begin new sway projects from a range of document types or built in tools.
As the course progresses we will look at sharing and controlling audience access as well as collaborating and multi authoring to build a sway with others in the browser.
By the end of the course you will be confidently using sway within your range of document making tools, creating and sharing content for a range of purposes and audiences and able to create online documents for a wide range of business, personal and creative enterprises.
I am really excited by the potential sway has to offer and the new medium for creativity and presentation it presents. I am delighted to have you on the course and I look forward to seeing what you will create by the end.
