One of the reasons we love PowerPoint as an e-learning tool is its ability to deliver simple amounts of information in short, easy-to-view, and easy-to-absorb ways. In fact, as PowerPoint designers tell us, less on the slide is always more. This is one of the reasons why we use PowerPoint to deliver our Key Points series. Let's say that a one-line slide takes you 3 seconds to read (give or take a bit). That means you can whip through a 100-slide Key Points PowerPoint in exactly 5 minutes. (For all you doubters, 100 times 3 is 300 seconds, divided by 60 is 5 minutes). So, now you can top up your learning while waiting for the bus, finishing breakfast, or taking a natural break. And, if any of these go on for more than 5 minutes, that's several Key Points you can get through. We call this, "fragments-of-time-learning" and it not only makes you a great time manager, it'll also skyrocket your workplace skills.
