PowerPoint
Many instructors use PowerPoint in the classroom,
and you may want to use it in a web-enhanced or
online class. If you save your presentations as
web pages, they will download more quickly; in addition,
we now have Impatica (a tool that compresses PowerPoint
HTML files) available in the Medical Campus CTD
lab. We also have different PowerPoint backgrounds
available in the lab.
On campus and online workshops are available to
college employees through CTD.
