Workshop on Microsoft Office

-


The Centre for Academic and Professional Support (CAPS) successfully conducted a comprehensive MS Suite Workshop over the course of a few weeks. The workshop aimed at enhancing the technical proficiency of its members by providing hands-on training in Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint — two of the most essential tools used in both academic and professional settings.

Open to all CAPS members, the workshop was designed to be inclusive and interactive. It attracted a wide range of participants from various departments, all eager to refine their skills and improve their command over the MS Office Suite. Recognizing the importance of these tools in everyday documentation, presentations, and reporting, the sessions were structured to cater to both beginners and those seeking to refresh their existing knowledge.

The workshop began with an overview of Microsoft Word, covering fundamental as well as advanced features. Participants were guided through formatting tools, page layout settings, table creation, referencing tools, and the use of styles and templates. Emphasis was also placed on real-time applications such as drafting formal letters, resumes, and academic reports. Live demonstrations and practice exercises were provided to ensure that attendees could replicate and practice these functions on their own.

The PowerPoint Presentation sessions focused on the essentials of creating engaging and professional presentations. Participants were introduced to slide design, template selection, transitions, animations, use of multimedia, and effective storytelling techniques. The workshop also explored the importance of visual hierarchy, consistency, and audience engagement while creating slideshows for both academic presentations and corporate settings.

One of the distinguishing features of the workshop was its interactive format. Participants were encouraged to ask questions, share their screens, and troubleshoot live under the guidance of the facilitator. Each session was kept engaging through mini-quizzes, quick tasks, and peer discussions. The friendly and supportive environment allowed for collaborative learning and gave attendees the confidence to actively participate.

To ensure the practical application of the skills learned, the workshop concluded with an assignment. Participants were asked to prepare a professional document using MS Word and design a short presentation using MS PowerPoint based on a given theme. This not only reinforced the learning outcomes but also allowed the facilitators to provide individualized feedback, helping participants understand their strengths and areas for improvement.

Overall, the MS Suite Workshop by CAPS was a resounding success. It served as a much-needed refresher for many and a solid foundation for others who were new to the tools. Participants appreciated the structured and approachable method of delivery, and many expressed their interest in attending similar sessions in the future. The initiative once again highlighted CAPS’s commitment to providing value-added skill development opportunities to its members.

Lavasa, a city that lies between a range of rolling mountains, has often found its name in the news in the seat of dissension, but it is more than its hearings. With a backdrop of vivid sunsets and sunrises, the city provides a restful atmosphere away from the hustle-bustle of the city. The tranquillity and the close community in Lavasa help students have a clear mind and fulfil their dreams. This space is, according to the community, more conducive to education and learning.  Having an academic institution nestled in this valley is a true example of discovering roads less travelled.
