Several Powerpoint Design Templates with a UW Oshkosh theme are available for download Presentations
Here
is the presentation I use in the Basics workshop on the effective
use of Powerpoint.
It contains a complete narrative in the Notes window.
The above presentation as a narrated Flash file (12 minutes)
I gave a longer
presentation on effective use of Powerpoint at Platteville on August
23, 2001.
Click
here to download a zipped file of the entire presentation, (23.5
MB.) fonts, movies, graphics files and all. 23.5 MB.
You'll need
a zip utility like WinZip or
MacZip
to unzip this file. I've had some problems with Powerpoint reconnecting
to the movies and the object movie won't work at all in Powerpoint
2000 (Windows), but you can view it with the Quicktime player.
(It doesn't include the movie on imaging, that would be another
70 MB)
Click
here to download just the Powerpoint presentation. (3.9 MB).
The links to the movies will be missing. Just cancel if Powerpoint
asks to find them. It will also replace the font "Footlight"
with "Times" which might make things look a little different.
