Module 6

Introduction

Welcome to Module 6! In this module you are going to learn how to create a professional presentation slideshow. Knowing how to create a professional presentation slideshow to accompany your presentation not only helps your audience as they listen to your presentation, but it helps you look more credible (or professional) as the presenter.

There are not set “rules” for creating a professional presentation slideshow like there are for email etiquette or digital citizenship, but there are guidelines to follow. Think of these guidelines as suggestions rather than requirements. Because of this, you get to exercise a lot of freedom when creating your slideshow presentation.
