Students process information at different rates. Allow students time to read the slide, listen to your lecture, and take notes. If you read the slide aloud, be sensitive that you are speaking to the class and not the projector screen. Consider revisions to help you accomplish your objectives more effectively. Back to the top of page Using PowerPoint in CourseInfo PowerPoint slides can be uploaded into CourseInfo.
Some faculty provide the files online for students to print prior to class.
Slides can also be saved as web pages in html documents, then uploaded into CourseInfo. This allows the students to view the pages in Netscape or Internet Explorer if they do not have PowerPoint software on their computers. One note of caution here - check that your students are able to print both the outline and notes, not just the slides. Students report using the outline format for note-taking, and the notes format for additional information you may have included with the slide. Older versions of PowerPoint convert differently to the Web environment.
