That’s why I want to look at PowerPoint 2007 and how it can help you build better courses and save time building them. But before we look at PowerPoint 2007, let’s do a quick review of what’s happening when you build rapid elearning courses with PowerPoint. You can format shapes, pictures, and text.

Back when I wrote my instructional design careers series in 2007, I was only aware of a few blogs by instructional designers. In the Middle of the Curve is one of the first blogs I linked to, back in January 2007.

You may find that both tiny details and big-picture edits cause you-and your reviewers-to want less tracking, not more. Big-picture or substantive edits such as moving blocks of text may also not be ideal candidates for tracking changes.
