1.
A teacher is creating a presentation for students. They want to include a link that, when clicked, will open a specific document stored on the school's shared network drive. Describe how the teacher would insert this hyperlink, ensuring the link is functional for all students accessing the presentation.
To insert a hyperlink to a document on a shared network drive, the teacher would follow these steps:
- Select the text within the slide that they want to use as the link.
- Right-click on the selected text.
- From the context menu, select 'Link...' or 'Hyperlink...'.
- In the 'Insert Hyperlink' dialog box, select 'Existing file or web page'.
- Click the 'Browse...' button to locate the document on the shared network drive.
- Navigate through the folders to find the document and select it.
- Click 'OK' or 'Apply' to create the hyperlink.
Ensuring functionality for all students:
- The document must be stored in a location accessible to all students with the appropriate permissions on the network drive.
- The network path to the document should be accurate and consistent.
- The presentation software should be compatible with the operating systems used by all students.

A student is creating a presentation on the history of the internet. They are using PowerPoint and want to ensure a professional and cohesive viewing experience. Describe three different transition effects they could use between slides to maintain consistency and explain why each might be suitable for different types of information. Consider the impact on the audience's understanding and engagement.
To maintain consistency and a professional viewing experience, the student should select transition effects that are visually similar in style and duration. Here are three suitable options:
- Fade: This transition smoothly fades one slide into the next. It's a subtle and generally professional choice. Suitable for: Slides with related images or text where a gentle change is desired. It doesn't distract from the content.
- Push (Left/Right/Up/Down): This transition pushes one slide out of the way to reveal the next. It's a more dynamic option than fade but still relatively clean. Suitable for: Slides that show a clear progression or a logical flow of information. For example, moving from a title slide to an introductory slide.
- Wipe: This transition wipes one slide off the screen to reveal the next. It can be quite effective but can also be distracting if overused. Suitable for: Use sparingly for highlighting key changes or to create a dramatic effect. Avoid using it for every transition as it can become visually jarring.
Consistency is key. The student should choose a primary transition and use it throughout the presentation, perhaps varying the duration slightly for emphasis. Avoid using a wide variety of transitions as this can be distracting and unprofessional.

Explain how a teacher could use the 'Bullets and Numbering' features within the master slide to create a consistent list format for all slides. Provide specific examples of how this feature can be used to format both bulleted and numbered lists.
A teacher can use the 'Bullets and Numbering' features in PowerPoint's master slide to create a consistent list format across all slides. To do this, they would first select a placeholder on the master slide where they want the list to appear. Then, in the 'Home' tab, they would click on the 'Bullets' or 'Numbering' dropdown menu.
For a bulleted list, the teacher can choose from various bullet styles (e.g., solid circle, open circle, square). They can also customize the bullet's colour and position. For example, they could select a blue open circle bullet.
For a numbered list, the teacher can choose from different numbering formats (e.g., 1, 2, 3; i, ii, iii; a, b, c). They can also customize the numbering style and format. For instance, they could choose a style that displays the numbers in Roman numerals. The chosen formatting will be applied to all slides that use the selected layout on the master slide. This ensures a uniform and professional presentation.
