PowerPoint as an eBook

24 Aug 2022 | ThinkPiece | 0 comments

eBooks and eWorkbooks are used in many different contexts. When we think of eBooks we mostly think of reading, however we can leverage the power of two commonly used tools to help create eBooks for workshops and tutorials and to help learners gather their thinking, reiterate key concepts and provide links and resources. Creating your eBook template in PowerPoint, add your links and buttons and then save it to PDF. From there you can add Text boxes and further links to finish it off. The resulting editable PDF means learners can save their documents and keep their notes in order. I started doing this as an alternative to notes pages and have found students and workshop participants find it beneficial.

To be able to create resources like this you need to be able to link pages within your PowerPoint and have access to Adobe Pro so that you can add text boxes. Here are some resources that will help you learn these skills.
