Praise for Better Than Bullet Points
"Rather than purchasing expensive software, dedicated for e–learning, Better Than Bullet Points advocates using a tool that most of us already have, saving time and money without the cost of re–training. The benefits of combining PowerPoint and proven instructional design principles are refreshing: a clearer message and targeted training that can stand on its own."
—Diane D. Chapman, teaching assistant professor and director, Training and Development Online Program, Department of Adult & Higher Education, North Carolina State University
"Jane Bozarth again shows us how to maximize resources and time while getting results. In her typical straight–shooting style, the author demonstrates that quality e–learning comes from good design, not expensive tools and software. Our own organization has achieved great success with her common–sense approaches—and now yours can, too."
—Thom Wright, director, North Carolina Office of State Personnel
"PowerPoint ranks very high in our ′top 100 tools for learning.′ It is a powerful tool yet it is not exploited as much as it could be for learning purposes. This book will show you how to get the most out of it."
—Jane Hart, Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies
"Jane Bozarth′s guide Better Than Bullet Points explains the power of graphic choices, treatments, hotspots, and hyperlinks. She suggests ways to replicate games and simulations, to handle multimedia files, and to create a good GUI using the Slide Master. Readers will see how to blend their e–learning with other training systems and make it available
to all their learners."
—Karen Hyder, online speaker coach and event producer, The eLearning Guild

That said it does take the reader through an effective explanation of creating and engaging e-learning package using PowerPoint covering interactive elements through hyperlinks and games. The CD does not add much to the package although for those who wish to quickly create a learning session there are some templates which will reduce the creation time.
Overall it's not bad it just isn't great.
I have been to several workshops that promised to teach me to use PowerPoint for elearning, only to spend hours inserting clip art and making text fly. This book shows how to use it to create LEARNING.
Margaret Driscoll's "Web-Based Training: Designing e-Learning Experiences" with CD-ROM would make a great companion book to this one for anyone creating e-learning in a variety of delivery formats.
I would like to commend Ms. Bozarth and THANK HER for writing this book. The problem with virtually all (just my opinion here) user manuals for computer software programs is that they waste waaay too many words on the technical aspects and far too few words on just putting the program to practical use for the overworked employee who just wants to know how to do all the cool things these programs are designed to do. There are so many software programs that are severely underutilized because the material is presented in such complicated terminology that one who doesn't have a lot of time to read and analyze will quickly lose interest in trying to learn to apply certain program aspects that are not nearly as complicated to use as the user manual instructions present them. I have read nearly a third of the book and find it very helpful already...but then I have loved the possibilities of PowerPoint (and many other programs I have taken) ever since I took the first 1 day training session at NCSU's Computer Training Unit. This book will be invaluable to me in helping me get the most out of PowerPoint in the least amount of time.
