Con clu sion
In this chap ter you learned some pow erful VBA tricks that allow you to
move around in your presentation and manipulate the ob jects on your slides.
You now have the power to hide and show ob jects
and ma nipulate the text in
your ob jects. This allows you to ex pand feedback from a simple
MsgBox
to
something that changes the text in the slides. For simple feedback, a
MsgBox
is
fine, but to in corporate what your stu dents have to say into the fabric of the pre-
sentation, noth ing beats changing the text on your slides.
The discussion ended
with a creative mys tery example that shows how this technology can go beyond
simple tu torials and quizzes. In the next chapter you will see how to build quiz-
zes of vary ing complexity with dif ferent types of questions and different ways of
tracking and reporting scores.
