EPS411.com subscribers know that PowerPoint is the base tool for most elearning projects. Some elearning programs are converted from PowerPoint to Flash movies using simple tools like Articulate Presenter. Other elearning programs are story boarded in PowerPoint before custom Flash programming.

Regardless, using the Master Slide is an essential skill for any elearning designer. Making changes to the Master Slide will save hours of time that might have been spent formatting individual slides.

Terese Hereford, Content Production Direction at CentreLearn Solutions, has written a post introducing the Master Slide and how it can be used for formatting every slide. Use the Master Slide to:

• Change fonts
• Add header or footer information
• Add a logo or water mark
• Layout slide design elements
