Description

Imagine having slides so engaging that people ask you for copies simply because they admire the design.

Your slides can make or break your presentation.

If you're like most people giving a presentation can be frightening--  It's not just the public speaking, but you have to provide slides to go along with your talk. 

Well-designed slides help you get your point across, make your presentation more engaging and provide a great memory aide when you're on stage (or on Zoom!). Poorly-designed slides? Well, I think you know!

Being a legacy Microsoft user, I was not aware of how great the Google Suite is until I started this course. It has a lot of similarities, but it seems to be a bit easier to operate. I appreciate the instructor taking the time to provide the minor details, along with the tips to use to make each session easy to manage. Great course!

This a great course put together with thought and ease of use at top of mind. Mark does a great job breaking things down step by step, ensuring he covers best practices, including what not to do. The pace of the course is great and total duration is just right. Thanks Mark!

Another great course from Mark. Covering the basics through to some advanced features the course is well paced with exercises at the end of some sections. Having used Powerpoint in the past I was interested to see how Google Slides compared and after completing the course and exercises I can say that while not as feature rich as Powerpoint, Slides is a worthy competitor. Slides has everything you need to make a good presentation and this course shows you exactly how to do it.

For those of us who have been brainwashed into only using PowerPoint this has been an eyeopener, that there is life beyond PowerPoint. I'd highly recommend this course!

Excellent program on Google slides. Great not only for first time users, but for those with experience in PowerPoint. The two are similar but this course demonstrates how to do everything you are familiar with from PowerPoint in Google Slides.

I like the way the videos are easy to follow and clear in the way Mark presents it. An excellent tutorial in Google slides especially for someone like me who is a complete beginner.

Mark's course is a sure thing! The course is, as usual, well thought out and technically perfect. It's worth going through it, even if you have some Power Point experience. You can learn about team working, developing a presentation so that it reaches the addressee, preparing slides so that they are not boring (!). Apart from the lectures, there are also proposals of individual exercises. I recommend it with conviction! :)

Very easy to understand and follow! Mark guides you on exactly what to do. He also provides course Resources with project work for you to do on your own to improve your learning experience!

Have completed 5 sections of the course. Bar a a few tiny issues with the first section, the courseware has been easy to follow, well presented and the inclusion of activities is appreciated. Having been a PowerPoint user for over 30 years, its great to see such a comprehensive and free alternative. Would recommend this to anyone who needs to create presentations. With many businesses relying on online meetings via Zoom, GoToMeeting, Webex etc. this course could not have come at a better time. Few issues with theb first section 1. Slides has changed since the courseware was made. While this is be expected, for a first time user, a change in the user interface can be a litte disconcerting. Perhaps a note could be added to this effect. 2. When doing exercise for section1 1 - does not say how to exit presentation mode - pressing escape to do so is mentioned in Section 2 - 5 Adding, Deleting and Hiding Slides. Posssibly this could be added to the bottom of the PDF for the first exercise. Will e-mail screen shots of the above to the author.

This course lays out all in an easy-to-understand format. I love this; I was a frequent user of PowerPoint, but this is a more accessible program, especially for people who are new to making slide presentations.

I'm a PowerPoint User, but have recently moved to a company with uses Google Slides, so I was looking for a quick set of lessons to get me up and running. I've done classes with Mark before so I figured this would be a good one as Mark is great with how to teaches. I was not disappointed, another great class from Mark! Also be sure to stick around for Section 8: Presentation Design -- Looking Like a Pro. There are some gold nuggets here for sure!

Nice bite-size videos - not leaving a bunch of questions afterwards. Good quality (also visuals and sound). So far a good introduction to this online tool

Mark makes learning new software less intimidating and fun to do. Small follow along tasks during the presentation videos reinforce what is being taught and leaves you a feeling of confidence.
