Practicals
Overview
Learners will apply advanced presentation features through hands-on exercises, creating a complete presentation that incorporates multimedia, animations, and interactive elements. This practical component ensures learners can independently produce professional, impactful slides.
Practical Activities
- Creating a Master Slide and Theme — Learners design a custom master slide with consistent branding and apply a theme across multiple slides.
- Integrating Multimedia Elements — Learners insert and format video and audio clips, set playback options, and embed screen recordings. (1h)
- Animating Content and Transitions — Learners apply custom animations to objects and set transition effects between slides, controlling timing and triggers. (1h)
- Adding Interactive Navigation and Data Visualisation — Learners create hyperlinks, action buttons, and interactive charts to enhance audience engagement.
Summatives
Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.
Practical Assignments — 30%
Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.
Daily Exercises — 20%
Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.
Final Test — 50%
On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.
Final Total
| Component | Out of | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Practical Assignments (rubric-scored) | 100% | 30% |
| Daily Average (multiple choice) | 100% | 20% |
| Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice) | 100% | 50% |
| Final Total | — | 100% |
All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
