Slideshow Design

Students could create a slideshow that teaches a concept via informational slides, followed by an interactive quiz embedded into that same slideshow:

  • Informational Slides:
    • Text
    • Images
    • Videos
  • Quiz Questions:
    • Multiple-Choice
    • Hyperlinked Responses
    • Feedback

Computer Science Skills

These efforts can help students develop a variety of computer science thinking skills, including:

  • Algorithmic Thinking
  • Conditional Logic
  • Decomposition
  • Pattern Recognition
  • Abstraction
  • Debugging
  • User Experience (UX) Design
