Welcome to the Seneca Sandbox Tutorial on
Creating Effective Presentations

This tutorial includes four individual segments on smaller topics that are all important to presenting. Each segment can be used as a stand-alone lesson or combined with others for a more complete tutorial. 

Take a look at the key elements of presentations and consider how online presentations differ from in-person.
