Più di 100 tutorial PowerPoint & un template gratuito

Traduzione autorizzata tratta dal post originale di Tom Kuhlmann sul “Rapid E-Learning Blog”.Il post originale è disponibile qui

Con tutte le domande che ricevo su PowerPoint, è una buona cosa che nel corso dell’anno passato, la e-learning community ha creato circa 300 tutorial PowerPoint. Per questo post, ho deciso di metterne insieme un bel po’ in modo che tu possa averli tutti in un’unica lista

Per celebrare le festività e un grande 2010, ho anche incluso un template gratuito realizzato in PowerPoint per l’e-learning!

Se volete saperne di più su come utilizzare PowerPoint o sulla costruzione di corsi in rapid eLearning, questa lista è un buon punto di partenza. Anche se non hai necessità di utilizzare uno specifico tutorial proprio adesso, guardarlo è un buon modo per conoscere PowerPoint. La chiave è fare di più che semplicemente guardare il tutorial. Invece, metti in pratica ciò che hai imparato e quindi tenta di applicarlo ad un progetto reale.

Ho organizzato i tutorial per argomento, in modo da renderli un po' più facili da individuare.
