Purpose of Assignment

In this assignment, you will research alternative applications to Microsoft® PowerPoint® and practice using PowerPoint® to present those alternatives and make a recommendation. You may research applications by developers other than Microsoft if you desire.

Assignment Steps

Research the two alternative presentation applications that you chose and compare them to the features and functionality of Microsoft® PowerPoint®. 

Note: There are several alternative presentation applications besides Microsoft® PowerPoint®, including Sway®. It does not, however, have to be a Microsoft® application.

  • A title page
  • A reference page
  • A slide theme and a template
  • Animations using the timing feature
  • Slide transitions
  • A picture or an image
  • Word art
  • A recorded audio on one of the slides

Use speaker notes to expand ideas beyond the slide bullet points and include research supporting your comparisons. 

Submit a Microsoft® PowerPoint® Presentation file (PPTX).
