Introduction
This instructional unit has a very specific purpose; to wrap everything up in one single file rather than a multitude of different programs. This is crucial for any and all professional needs. Going through multiple different programs and/or files is not ideal by any means. Simplicity is key. Each reference used up until this point will be strategically placed in this instructional unit, so that no guessing or complicated transitions need to take place.
Instructional Goal
Learners will add 3 advanced elements to a PowerPoint.

Media Selection & Delivery System

Instruction will be delivered in person by instructor. Instructor will be available throughout the entire process in order to provide context as well as forms and reasoning of implementation for the given required elements.
