For this lab you will do three online tutorials supplied by Microsoft to learn how to create a presentation, , and using Microsoft Powerpoint.
To find these tutorials, go to the http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/CR061832731033.aspx web page. As always, if you have questions, please come and see the instructor or a TA, or send us email. We will try to help you!
To do this tutorial, go to the first tutorial in the list (it has the same title as this section, with "Audio course:" in front) and click on it.
This tutorial has three practice sessions. In each, you will apply what you learned to a small Powerpoint file. As you finish each practice, save the file. Use the following names (they are the defaults, but check just in case):
| First practice session | Slides, text, and notes |
| Second practice session | Design and layout |
| Third practice session | Proof, print, prep for the show |
Please do not submit the "PresentationCD" folder that you create as part of the third practice session.
The actual file names will have ".ppt" on the end. You don't have to type it; Powerpoint adds it automatically. Don't worry if you can't see it.
To do this tutorial, go to the sixth tutorial in the list (it has the same title as this section) and click on it.
This tutorial has two practice sessions. In each, you will apply what you learned to a small Powerpoint file. As you finish each practice, save the file. Use the following names (they are the defaults, but check just in case):
| First practice session | Of templates and their masters |
| Second practice session | Color scheme, background, and logo |
As before, the actual file names will have ".ppt" on the end. You don't have to type it; Powerpoint adds it automatically. Don't worry if you can't see it.
To do this tutorial, go to the seventh tutorial in the list (it has the same title as this section) and click on it.
This tutorial has three practice sessions. In each, you will apply what you learned to a small Powerpoint file. As you finish each practice, save the file. Use the following names (they are the defaults, but check just in case):
| First practice session | Preset animation schemes |
| Second practice session | Custom animation |
| Third practice session | Custom effects for text and pictures |
As before, the actual file names will have ".ppt" on the end. You don't have to type it; Powerpoint adds it automatically. Don't worry if you can't see it.
You should store all 8 files in your MySpace. To turn the files in to the graders, go to MyUCDavis, and submit them to ECS 15; go to Assignments and then the Drop Off for Lab 4.
After submitting all eight files, you are done. Don't forget to use the Start button to logout from the lab computers!
