| PowerPoint 
PowerPoint refers to Microsoft PowerPoint slides. Many faculty accustomed to
preparing lectures and other materials in PowerPoint now store them on Web servers where
they can be downloaded easily through Web browsers.
| Examples of Uses |
Lectures, overviews, demonstrations, presentations, conference papers |
|
| Requirements for Using it on a
Computer |
Any computer with a connection to the Internet and Netscape or Internet
Explorer 3.0+ can access Web-based PowerPoint files. |
|
| Requirements for Using it to
Create Materials |
You must have Microsoft PowerPoint on your computer or on the network if
your computer is connected to one. It is advisable to have a high-end computer
(Pentium-class PC or Macintosh PowerPC) and a reasonably fast connection to the Internet
(28.8 bps or better). You will need space on a Web server where your PowerPoint (.ppt)
files will be stored and downloaded, as well as a file-uploading program like WS_FTP.
Proficiency in creating Microsoft PowerPoint slides helps, though this can be acquired
over time through familiarity with the program's many features. |
