Description

The idea of this course is to learn PowerPoint in just a few hours, not a few days. By the end of this course, you will know how to create animated slide shows, and how to export animated videos. This course will cover both 2D and 3D animations.


  • In module number 1 we will do a series of boot-camp style exercises which will help us to learn PowerPoint very quickly.

  • in module number 2 we will test our skills by making a short, animated presentation.

  • In module number 3 we will cover a few other basics.

If you are an instructor or if you are planning on becoming an online Udemy instructor, this course will provide you with essential skills that you will need to make clear explanatory videos for your courses.

This course does not cover everything that PowerPoint has to offer, there are two reasons for this.


  1. To keep this course as short and simple as possible.

  2. PowerPoint already has a detailed help guide built into the program.

Instead of us spending hours learning every detail and every feature that PowerPoint has to offer, we will learn the most important basics that will allow us to create animated presentations, and then we will learn how to take full advantage of the Microsoft search bar. If we know how to use the Microsoft search bar, we can do almost anything in PowerPoint that we want.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with this course, you can get a full refund in accordance with the Udemy refund policy. Check out the free preview videos that I made available below, these videos will give you a good idea of what you can expect from this course.
