Transforming PowerPointCreating an Interactive Learning Environment
Some information in session is from:• PETE+C 2008 – February 10, 2008• Dr. P. David Lees
– Director, Instructional Technology & Distributed Learning• St. Joseph’s University
Objective • Create interactive presentations
adding Visual Basic scripting and tools in Microsoft PowerPoint to:– gather student input– create quizzes– turn PowerPoint into more than just
a presentation of information
What is Presentation Software?
• Create interactive presentations containing text, art, animation, and audio and video elements
• Application program used to create sequences of words and pictures – Informative presentations– Storytelling presentations– Persuasive presentations– Interactive presentations

• A presentation program developed by Microsoft
• Part of the Microsoft Office system• Runs on Microsoft Windows and the Mac OS
computer operating systems• Most commonly-used presentation software• Easy to learn & relearn
What is MS Visual Basic?• An event driven programming language by Microsoft• Derived from BASIC • Enables the RAD (Rapid Application Development)
– Of GUI (Graphical User Interface)• Using:
– ActiveX controls (COM developed by Microsoft for Windows platforms)
– VBA (present in Microsoft Office applications)– VBScript (Visual Basic code object)
What is VBA?
• Visual Basic for applications• Application edition of Microsoft's Visual
Basic programming language
What Are The Benefits Of Using Presentations In
The Classroom?• Appeals to our digital native students• Introduces and reinforces content with
meaningful graphic support• Create interactive presentations containing
text, art, animation, and audio and video elements
What Are The Benefits Of Using Presentations In
The Classroom?• Present information or instruction to an entire class
• Create graphically enhanced information and instructions for the learning centers
• Create tutorials, reviews, or quizzes for individual students
• Display student work and curriculum materials or accompany teacher presentations at parent open houses or technology fairs
How to Use Interactive Presentations in the
Classroom• Present Content in an interactive way
– Teacher to Audience • Student Interaction Creation
– Teacher to Student• Student Assessment
– Type on Slides– Quizzes– Interactive activities– Application of knowledge
• Student to Audience
PowerPoint + VBA
• Ask and evaluate questions• Evaluate questions• Track responses• Store information• Provide feedback• Generate reports

Visual Basic for Applications
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)– Classes = Types of Things– Objects = Specific Things– Methods = What You Do With Things
Class -> Object -> Method
Cars = Class of ThingToyota Corolla = Specific Object in Class
Driving in my car = Specific method to do with my car
VB Keywords
• Sub = Subroutine• Dim = Declared Variable• Variable Types
– String– Boolean (True or False values)
• ‘ before a comment (turns green)
Good Programming Practice
• Use LOTS of comments– what your code does and why
• Comment each subroutine and function with a description – what it does – what input and output it takes
40
Convert to VBA
• myCar = Object of Class Cars• myCar.Drive = Method/Action that can be done on
Object of Class Cars• “Hershey” = the Argument for the Method – Where I
am driving to
Dim myCar as CorollamyCar.Drive (“Hershey”)
Setting Variables
Macros
• An action or a set of actions you can use to automate tasks.
• Macros are recorded in the VBA code
VBA –Message Box
• Hold Alt and F11• Insert Module – If not there• Type
Sub SayHello()MsgBox (“Hello”)
End sub – (Will Appear Automatically)• Run Script
• Run Menu
Add VBA Script to Button
Assign the Hello macro to an action button• Draw Button from AutoShapes – Action
Buttons• From Action Settings Select Run Macro• Right Click on Button and Select Add Text• Add text to Action Button
VBA –Input Box
• Hold Alt and F11• Insert Module – If not there Type
Sub YourName() userName = InputBox(Prompt:="Type your name", _ Title:="Input Name")End Sub
• Run Script• Run Menu
Quiz
• See Examples• Create your own Quiz with:
– Interactivity– Feedback– Results– Print Report
