This slide deck is a sample used in a blog post called “Trick Out My PowerPoint!”

to illustrate how some small changes to a series of PowerPoint slides can make a

big difference in the visual experience of learners.

It’s a variation of a PowerPoint slide deck that was originally used in a presentation

to the Association of Experiential Education International Conference in November

2008.
