Learn PowerPoint 2013 for Windows: Animating Slide Objects While Media is Playing

You have a 5 minute video or audio clip playing on your slide. And exactly after the clip has played for 30 seconds, you want some text to appear super-imposed above the video clip. It might seem difficult, but you can end up with these results quite easily using the Trigger Animation option. These Trigger animations typically happen as a result of a click on some other slide object — but in PowerPoint 2013, you can now cause Trigger animations to also happen on media playback through a Bookmark.

Learn PowerPoint 2010 for Windows: Removing Sections

Sections in PowerPoint not only help you easily manage your presentation slides, but there’s so much more you can achieve using them. You can add and name Sections, move slides from one Section to another etc. And, at any point of time after creating a Section, you can also remove it — or also remove a Section along with its content slides. You can also remove Sections altogether in a presentation.

Analytics and Collaboration Options in Adobe Presenter

Within Adobe Presenter, you can also enable analytics and collaboration options. When active, the analytic options provide info about how the eLearning course you have created is being used by learners. For example, you will be able to know how many learners have completed the course, what their level of completion is, and how their user engagement has been with each module. And within the collaboration option, learners will use a widget to ask questions in real-time and converse with the author and other peers. When you publish a module with the collaboration widget enabled, users can ask questions from within the module.
