| Building
an Interactive Case Study in PowerPoint |
| You
will complete a case study using PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 to
build an interactive learning experience. Bring your laptop
for full value—although you may share one with another
participant. With the help of step-by-step instructions, individual
coaching, and some graphics, you will build a fully functioning
activity that you can save as HTML and upload to your web
server. To get the most out of this lab activity, you must
be comfortable using PowerPoint's features, such as the drawing
tools and the hyperlink tool. |

you ever had a difficult participant in your training session?
Of course you have. We all have! You know the prisoner but
what about the sleeper? Don’t misstep or reinvent the
wheel. Experience at least 4 strategies for 15 different types
of difficult participants. |

Meetings Work by Design, Not Default |

Non-productive

of what to do before, during and after a meeting to make
it successful will be covered. Additionally, you will learn
at least 17 ideas to make your meetings more engaging and
memorable.
