I’ve gotten a lot of emails about the template I used in the Dump the Drone demo. So I’m going to show you how I built it (all inside PowerPoint) and then I’ll show you some tricks that will make it easier for you to build your own elearning courses. Here’s why I end up using PowerPoint most of the time.
