A lot of material created by academic staff and provided to and used by students in online courses tend to be either MS Office documents (Word Document, Excel Spreadsheets, PowerPoint Presentations) or PDF files – which are often printed or exported versions of the office documents. This session will look at MS Word and PowerPoint (or Google Docs and Google Slides) and how to create better new documents and improve existing documents to provide a better experience for all users. We will also look at some of the other features available in Office 365 (or Google) for users.
