Needs and Learner Analysis
During my college years, I not only did PowerPoint presentations for myself, I also did PowerPoint presentations for others. I assisted some of my instructors in the creation of numerous PowerPoint Presentations for his classes for either extra credit, or as part of a research assignment. Basically, they told me what they wanted in the presentation and I was responsible for deciding how the information should be presented to the class. I would then observe these classes as the students watched the presentations. Often, as part of my grade, the instructor would have the class write a brief statement on what they thought of the PowerPoint. When the feedback was more detailed and unique, I knew the PowerPoint presentation was interesting and caught their attention. These observations allowed me to create better PowerPoint presentations over my college years.

Task Analysis
Once the profile of the presenters and audience had been developed, I then needed to create a task analysis for what I would expect to teach the presenters. For this, I created a specific PowerPoint presentation. Finally, I uploaded the file to Slideshare and linked it as a widget to this site.
