Business Students' Perception on the Use of PowerPoint®

Abstract

Microsoft PowerPoint® is used extensively by college and university professors in instruction.  Textbook publishers routinely provide instructors with prepackaged PowerPoint® to use with their textbook.  To date, very few studies have been conducted concerning its effectiveness as instructional tool.  Even less research has been done on students’ perception on the use of PowerPoint® as an instructional tool. This study provides insight into the advantages and disadvantages of PowerPoint in the classroom from a student's perspective.
