The Presentation module allows students to understand the concept of presentations and to demonstrate competence in using presentation software.
Many students struggle to structure and communicate their ideas successfully. Having the skills to use presentation software helps to make school work fun, engaging and interesting. Whether it is for practice or to reach a real audience, students can demonstrate their learning and gain valuable skills for further learning and their future career.
This module is suitable for schools wishing to provide their students with the skills to use presentation applications effectively. These skills are essential not only to carry out specific tasks but also as a starting point for developing more in-depth competences in using these important presentation applications, which are now ubiquitous in workplaces globally.
