Beautiful PPT2010 - HOW to build slideshows (& eLarning?)

Feb 22, 2013

Hi,

For those of you with PowerPoint 2010.....

Go to File > New > Sample Templates > Five Rules.

Open and play the slideshow (from www.duarte.com)

I know it is for a "Presentation", however, is it also appropriate for designing eLearning, a FABULOUS use of PowerPoint animations, and a GREAT demonstration of what you could do to get animations:

Save as a .WMV file and bring into Storyline if you wanted to.

Learned SOOOOOO much from this.

Had heard of Duarte, but this is a wonderful find.....

I couldn't agree with you more Bruce!

I love Nacy Duarte and her work. I keep books right next to me at all times. I think it's grown to a sad addiction really. She was one of the keynote speakers at the Learning Solutions Conference a few years ago...got a chance to meet her and pick her brain a bit. She's awsome!

Without a doubt, her two books (Slideology and Resonate) have made me a better designer all around.

I LOVE NACY DUARTE!!!!!!!!!!! . If you get a chance, check out her TED Talk.

Thanks Bruce!!!

I'm a huge fan of her books but I've never seen this. So awesome that there are instructions at the end. Many thanks for posting. Looking forward to deconstructing.

Yeah - the instructions are AWESOME. I never realised you could do a "line motion path" and a "swirl", make then happen together, and thereby get a "rolling" effect!

SO damned obvious really
