This document provides an overview of how to create interactive PowerPoint presentations using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). It discusses using ActiveX controls, type-on slides for assessments, and VBA scripting to add interactivity, collect student responses, provide feedback and generate reports. Examples are provided for creating type-on slides, adding input boxes, message boxes, and assigning macros to buttons to create quizzes and get student input. The goal is to transform standard presentations into interactive learning environments.
