Articulate Rapid E-Learning Blog - bucketful of free elearning PowerPoint templates

I get a lot of questions about how to move past the PowerPoint look when building rapid elearning courses. My first suggestion if you're working with PowerPoint is to step away from the original content. Start with a blank screen and then based on the context of the course, build the look and feel that's appropriate for the content.

With that said, sometimes you can get away with a pre-built template. A good example is with office-themed templates. They work because they're generic and can fit the look required for a lot of corporate elearning. The template isn't a replacement for analyzing the appropriate design needs for your course, but if you do determine that this type of template is appropriate, it's a good head start, especially for those who have no graphic design expertise or access to graphic design resources.

Here are some free office-themed templates and assets. The first is a new one and the rest are ones I've given away in previous posts.
