  This was not a highly technical article, however it did challenge me to examine how I incorporate PowerPoint in a f2f classroom or an on-line course. Traditionally I've relied on it as a linear, slide show format to summarize in bullet-point fashion information I thought was fundamental to the topic at hand. Of course this was the most boring, ineffective way to use PowerPoint. The author gave a few basic pointers to enhance the presentation such as being careful about clip art, bullet points, and a flat screen filled with information I hope the students memorize. Three resources available on PowerPoint include the "branched scenario using PP hyperlinks," Flash animation, and custom graphics. I suspect this is just a start.
