DESCRIPTION

You can come to campus and do your course work in the CAOS lab at DeAnza. There are no scheduled on-campus meetings. I am available by email and through the message and discussion forum in the ETUDES course management system. Registered students will receive logon instructions before the first day of the quarter when the course opens.
This project-based course is taught from a perspective of quickly developing skills necessary to create a multimedia presentation that includes text and graphics. The learning and instructional emphasis will be "Hands-on-Training" to develop a multimedia presentation.
This course is intended to give you a quick introduction to creating presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint or OpenOffice Presentation software. Many courses require students to give in-class presentations. However, it is not possible for the instructor to spend time teaching PowerPoint software. This course is designed to help students be ready to prepare and present a presentation.

INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION
Welcome to
CAOS 131 - Quick Presentation. It is my pleasure to be your instructor in this course.
I have been teaching part-time at De Anza since 2000. My business career has included positions in the education, technology, consulting, and banking industries in Canada and the Bay Area. I have a M.S. in Online Teaching and Learning - all course work online! When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling and sailing.
I look forward to meeting all of you. I am glad you've decided to take this course in the self-paced format. You will be learning about Presentations and PowerPoint without the requirements of weekly class days and times. However, you will still have to work hard and participate in class discussions.
You can leave me an e-mail message anytime. I will get back to you as soon as I can, usually with 24 hours.
