Ways to Add Ways to Add ContentContent1. Add More Text / Graphics to Body of the Slides
2. Add Notes
This slide is an example of what a PowerPoint slide online might look like:
More content is better onlineWhen developing PowerPoint presentations for online learning, the rules change. The number one reason is because your audience is now sitting right at a computer screen. Therefore, while the two central principles (i.e., sound instructional design and sound message design) remain important because learners often skim instead of read content online, the actual development of the PowerPoint presentation changes and becomes more like designing a webpage.
ImplicationsThe number one way this impacts faculty is by the fact that one presentation cannot and should not be used for classroom and online courses—that is, unless you are going to include audio or video to supplement the slides.

The Rules Change Online
This slide is another example of what a PowerPoint slide online might look like:
InteractivityWhen developing PowerPoint presentations online, it is important to recognize and take advantage of the fact that your learner is now able to interact with your presentation. Therefore, including URL’s, video, audio, games, quizzes, can all strengthen your presentation as a learning experience.
BandwidthThe size of your files, images that you use, and any video components takes on new importance. As a general rule of thumb, it is hard to email anything over 4mb so you should strive to keep your PowerPoint presentations under 4mb.
