Presentation Transcript
All slideshows must start with this FutureLearn logo slide
Note that when you add a New Slide in PowerPoint, you can choose various layouts from the drop-down menu The second slide uses the Title layout and just has the title Designing a FutureLearn MOOC
The third slide has the name of the presenter(s). There should be a full screen image behind this horizontal group of objects. Copy this group to your own slide and then double-click the text to edit it. Adam Warren CENTRE FOR INNOVATION IN TECHNOLOGIES AND EDUCATION
Title and Content slide layout Make sure that your title does not run to two lines. Don t adjust the width or position of any of the slide objects, such as this text box (as shown by red arrows. Don t change the colour, size or spacing of any of the text. If you need to emphasise text make it bold or italic. Do not use underline! The FutureLearn design means that there should always be this gap between all content and the left edge of the University logo. If you go to the View menu and select Guides on the ribbon, you will see the dotted lines that define the layout of all these slides.
Weeks, Activities, Steps Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 up to 10 If you add diagrams, keep them within the area shown. This slide uses the Title Only layout. Activity 1 Activity 2 Activity 3 Step 1 video Step 2 text Step 3 discuss Step 4 quiz

Diagrams should use bright pure colours from the FutureLearn theme. Note bright + pale options. Steps You can easily copy these colours to your own objects.
