− | === Creating a slide presentation (''LibreOffice Impress'') === | |
| A slide presentation is a useful method of sharing information, or in training or teaching. While a text document is useful as a descriptive resource, a presentation can be more useful as a summarized view. A presentation can be created from scratch or as a summary of a text OER. Like in a text document, you can embed images, audio links, video links in the presentation. You can do a ‘slide show’ of this presentation. | | A slide presentation is a useful method of sharing information, or in training or teaching.
