Most educators have created simple presentations with PowerPoint. PowerPoint is a fine tool for adding media to a lecture, but it falls flat when creating interactive lessons for students to use while sitting in front of the computer. That is. it falls flat unless you use the built-in scripting features of PowerPoint.
Scripting might not be a useful technique when used with a stand-alone programming language, but the real power of using VBA with PowerPoint is not merely that VBA is an accessible scripting language but that it is built into PowerPoint. When a few scripts are added on top of the traditional PowerPoint tools, the results are rich not only with media but also with interactivity.
While this book is not accessible for computer novices, teachers who are beyond the level of computer beginner can use this technology to create powerful material for their students, material that goes beyond a simple page-turner.
