PowerPoint and Video
PowerPoint is a powerful presentation graphics program that allows you to incorporate text, graphical elements, clip art, and images. Faculty have used PowerPoint presentations for courses delivered in a wide variety of formats, including ITV, compressed video, videotape, streaming video, and Blackboard.
