Challenge:  Some employees are unfamiliar with Google Slides and reluctant to embrace technology platforms on par with other staff. This has created a lack of unity and disparity among employees, impacting communication and productivity within the organization. 

Solution: This course was designed for learners who are unaccustomed to using technology platforms regularly.  The goal of this course is for each participant to become familiar with the Google Slides creation process and to be able to successfully create a Google Slides presentation using text, images, and videos.  

Result: The intended outcome is for learners who had not previously utilized the Google Slides program to successfully create a Google Slides project utilizing text, images, and videos and to begin utilizing Google Slides on a regular basis. 

Design Decisions & Rationale: 

Key design decisions were made to support usability, clarity, and confidence for beginning users: 

• Focused on creation-based learning through guided practice

• Incorporated multimedia elements to reflect real tool use

• Designed for confidence-building through completion of a finished product
