5 "E"s Necessary for E-Learning PowerPoint Presentation


What you should master to make a knocking e-learning PowerPoint presentation for easy distribution and flexible reuse


Affordable and accessible, e-Learning is seizing a large portion of learning activities both in schools and in corporations. And the rapid growth of Internet and multimedia technologies including PowerPoint, flash, video and DVD, contributes a great to e-Learning in making it available to a multitude of learners with ease and flexibility. Among the most popular e-Learning technologies, PowerPoint-based tools are taking great popularity in formal academic and industry education. Here we sum up 5 tips (herein as 5 Es as each begins with Letter E) that should be kept in mind when making an e-Learning PowerPoint presentation. The 5 necessaries for an E-Learning presentation are listed below:


1. Engaging


"Engaging" is to the content. Your e-Learning PowerPoint presentation must include engaging content capable of capturing the learners at the very first time. Avoid dulling your presentation by the so-called Death by PowerPoint, i.e. you should organize the whole story in a reasonable way - clear and brief rather than random and tedious. If it is a course presentation on Science, for example, you can use key phrases or words or graphics instead of complete long sentences to describe the topic, limit the number of slides to the most concise extent, put each title on the top of every slide for quick navigation, contrast different texts by a shift of colors, and apply animations and transitions sparingly to title messages (not to the text part) of the presentation.
A presentation with several dynamic effects can catch their eyes better than a plain one consisting only static pictures and texts, but too many effects will degrade it to a distraction. So think carefully before adding in a thrilling sound or movie clip to your e-Learning presentation.


2. Evocative


"Evocative" means that the messages in your e-Learning presentation can evoke a positive response when conveyed to the learners. What you convey is what they are right in need. To make that, you must take a survey to ensure the topic you are going to talk by the presentation makes sense, and must plan how to present it in a way that appeals to the learners.
Suggestions: rehearse the presentation until perfect before you deliver it. You can practice it in a rehearsal room as if the learners were there, or ask someone as audience to give you his/her advice.


3. Efficient


"Efficient" here is to the delivery of your e-Learning presentation. You made a wonderful learning item, but it failed to reach the target learners because they couldn't open the PowerPoint presentation. That is a lack of efficiency. As we know, files generated by PowerPoint are often too clumsy and fragile to carry via the Internet. To make it an easy access to the learners, you can upload the e-Learning presentation to the Web (an authorized website or your blog) for sharing online, or burn it to DVD as endurable disc handouts using software like Moyea PPT to DVD Burner.

4. Enjoyable


"Enjoyable" indicates the e-Learning experience by your presentation. E-Learning itself is a convenient and flexible learning method, self-paced and available almost 24x7, without boundary of time and space. E-learning stuff on a PowerPoint presentation, however, is not a nice layout for learning community on the Web. If you want an interactive impact of your e-Learning presentation, then why not convert it to one of the most popular media formats throughout the Internet - flash video? That is a good way to show a complete look of your presentation online, since a direct link of PowerPoint to the Web may fail to retain all the dynamic effects like embedded sounds, movie clips as well as animations and transitions. Tools that can help transfer your e-Learning presentation to flash video include Moyea PPT4Web Converter, capable of creating a PowerPoint-based FLV file supportable by Adobe Flash Player and many other flash players.
Then, it becomes a cinch for you to put and share the hitless e-Learning PPT video at a learning community, or your teaching blog. Your students and other target learners can enjoy it more by a free exchange of ideas as comments on the slick PowerPoint video.


5. Easy


"Easy" refers to two: the messages of your e-Learning presentation are easy to understand, while the content is easy to get. To put it straight, you should on the one hand compose the learning stuff, especially those with deep thoughts, in a simple manner that doesn't confuse a learner. On the other hand, make accessible copies of the presentation, via a CD-ROM, DVD, video or PDF, for later reuse by yourself and for the benefit of those involved who request a review of it.
For your convenience of reference:
To burn your e-Learning presentation to CD or DVD, see in the post How to Burn PowerPoint Presentation (PPT) to CD or DVD
To save your presentation to PDF, go to Export Office Applications to PDF


E-Learning, a green method of learning, does brings us great convenience and opportunity these years. Bear in your mind the 5 Es - Engaging, Evocative, Efficient, Enjoyable and Easy as mentioned above to make an successful e-Learning course based on presentation.

Enhance E-learning with MS PowerPoint, DVD, Video & PDF


Still wondering how to draw those idle-minded students back from a carefree summer holiday? Integrating your class with multimedia technology should be a wise practice. To engage new and returning students in this new school year, use MS PowerPoint to plan your class presentation and finalize it in DVD, Video or PDF to enhance e-learning content distribution.

If you are at a loss when coming to how to make a good class presentation, get an idea here in "Create and Distribute a Class PowerPoint Presentation", or find out more tips at MS Office At School Resources. As to class PowerPoint template, collect some classic packs from this Free Education PowerPoint Templates. Whether it is a literary story or a new science lesson, the smart authoring tool can help make an engaging learning experience for students in the classroom. Unfortunately, a lecture presentation in PowerPoint is not friendly to remote distribution or after-class communication.

Enhance it by performing one of the following:


Burn PowerPoint to DVDBurn the PowerPoint course presentation to DVD

That is because PowerPoint is fragile in transferring from a machine to another. Therefore, if you are to carry a Windows-based course presentation to a Mac, or to deliver it on a DVD player attached to TV for a small group, burn the course stuff to a DVD disc using reliable burning software like Moyea PPT to DVD Burner.


Benefits of burning the course presentation to DVD:



  • Avoid playback failure on the end-machine due to absence of matching PowerPoint
    Prevent any loss of PowerPoint elements like sounds and movie clips in transferring
    Safeguard your own course work away from unwanted copying or modifying by others
    Archive course presentations in a safe standalone way for reuse in future



Convert PowerPoint to VideoConvert the PowerPoint course presentation to video

Compared with bloated PowerPoint, video is a better format that is easier, safer and more popular for web distribution. Put the video course to your teaching blog or any shared group, inviting the students to join and leave a comment so that you can get more interactive with them and improve the next lesson according to their feedbacks.

After you download and install that Publish As PDF add-in, you can save your course stuff to PDF as email attachment. What if you use an earlier version like Office 2003? Then take Moyea PPT to PDF Converter (applies to MS Office 2000 and above) to generate a PDF copy of your course.


Integrated with modern multimedia technology, the PowerPoint-based e-Learning software tools reinforce the accessibility and reusability of your course content anywhere and at any place.

How to create a PowerPoint 2007 template


Selected from MS Office -> PowerPoint Help and How-to

Best practice for creating a template


When you create a template, add any content to the slide master in Slide Master view that you want to protect from being changed by users of your template, such as instructional prompt text, logos, header and footer information, subject matter content, a background, formatting, colors, fonts, and effects.


Users of your template will work in Normal view, guided by the instructional prompts that you added. The template users will replace the instructional prompt text and other placeholder content with data that is specific to their own project or presentation.

Create a new template



  1. Open a blank presentation, and then on the View tab, in the Presentation Views group, click Slide Master.

  2. On the Slide Master tab, in the Edit Master group, click Insert Slide Master. Notes

    • In the slide thumbnail pane, the slide master represents the larger slide image, and the associated layouts are positioned beneath it.

    • Many presentations contain more than one slide master, so you may have to scroll to find the one that you want.



  3. To begin customizing the slide master, do one or more of the following:



      • To remove any of the built-in slide layouts that accompany the default slide master, in the slide thumbnail pane, right-click each slide layout that you don't want to use, and then click Delete Layout.

      • To remove an unwanted, default placeholder, in the slide thumbnail pane, click the slide layout that contains the placeholder, click the border of the placeholder in the presentation window, and then press DELETE.

      • To add a text placeholder, in the slide thumbnail pane, click the slide layout that you want to contain the placeholder, and then do the following:

        1. On the Slide Master tab, in the Master Layout group, click Insert Placeholder, and then click Text.

        2. Click a location on the slide master, and then drag to draw the placeholder. Tip To resize a placeholder, drag the corner of one of its borders.

        3. Type descriptive text that prompts the users of your template to enter specific information.



      • To add other types of placeholders that contain content such as pictures, clip art, SmartArt graphics, charts, movies, sounds, and tables, on the Slide Master tab, in the Master Layout group, click the type of placeholder that you want to add.

      • To apply a theme to your presentation, on the Slide Master tab, in the Edit Theme group, click Themes, and then click a theme.

      • To change the background, on the Slide Master tab, in the Background group, click Background Styles, and then click a background.

      • To set the page orientation for all of the slides in your presentation, on the Slide Master tab, in the Page Setup group, click Slide Orientation, and then click either Portrait or Landscape.

      • To add text to appear in the footer at the bottom of all of the slides in your presentation, do the following:

        1. On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Header & Footer.

        2. In the Header and Footer dialog box, on the Slide tab, select the Footer check box, and then type the text that you want to appear at the bottom of your slides.

        3. To display the footer content on all slides, click Apply to All. Note For more information about using headers and footers, see Add a header or footer and Change or delete header and footer information in a presentation.







  4. Click the Microsoft Office ButtonButton image, and then click Save As.

  5. In the File name box, type a file name, or do nothing to accept the suggested file name.

  6. In the Save as type list, click PowerPoint Template, and then click Save. Tip Save your templates to the Templates folder at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\ to make them easier to locate.
