ADOBE® PRESENTER® Help and tutorials
Adobe Presenter
What’s new in Adobe Presenter 9 Adobe® Presenter 9 software, now with PowerPoint 2013 support and Windows® 8 compatibility, helps you convert slides into interactive content using out-of-the-box assets and quizzes. Important enhancements include option for simplified four-button interface for video editing, better tracking of user progress through your own Learning Management Systems, improved feedback by including quizzes and surveys.
Inserting scenario interactions You (the author) can create scenario-based training with easily customizable scenario interactions. Each scenario template contains the complete question vs answer flow. For example, if you select the Business scenario, the flow is pre-defined as one question with multiple options. Select the number of options and select the correct answer number. On publishing, the learner views the question. The options are displayed logically.
Drag and drop questions Drag-and-drop interactions provide an interesting and engaging way of assessing your users’ knowledge. This interaction lets users answer questions by draging and dropping objects in the designated areas or objects. A drag-and-drop interaction involves a drag source and a drop target. Users drag the drag sources and drop them onto drop targets. To insert drag and drop questions: 1.
Many to one drop item - Selecting another item from the drop-down list 2. Configure the properties for drag and drop items: Return item to the start point if dropped outside Item is moved back to the start point if it is dropped outside the frame Reveal drag items one at a time Only one drag item is displayed and other drag items kept invisible during run time. 3. (Optional) Choose a Presenter background image for the drag-and-drop question.
Closed captions Note: Additional language support and post production editing features are available only from Presenter 9 onwards. Adobe Presenter automatically converts voice recording captured during the recording into closed captions text through the speech to text conversion engine. You can also enter your own script as the closed caption text and use it. Alternatively, you can add/edit closed caption text post production through the editing screen.
2. To disable CC, click near the CC button and use the Off pop-up menu. 3. To add close captioning to an existing recording, enable CC in the Adobe Presenter video editing screen before starting the additional recording. 4. Once close captioning is completed, you can only edit the generated CC. Regeneration of close captioning is not possible.
Accessibility and 508-compliance Project outputs published through Adobe Presenter are 508-compliant for users with visual or hearing impairments, mobility impairments, or other types of disabilities. Adobe Presenter supports the screen reader, JAWS (version 13 and 14) that translates onscreen text in the published output to speech. Users must install JAWS on their computers and launch it before opening the published output. JAWS reads out the control that is in focus.

Viewing the Outline pane Most presentations have an Outline pane on the sidebar. The Outline pane lists the title and duration of each slide. Use the Outline pane to display information and to enable users to move to individual slides in the presentation. You can omit the Outline pane from the sidebar.

Reporting lets you track student performance with any type of quiz. You can track the number of attempts, log correct and incorrect responses, and send pass/fail data to Adobe Connect Server. You can also choose to provide students with feedback based on correct or incorrect responses. Quiz boundaries To the top When you add a quiz to a presentation, an invisible quiz boundary is established. The quiz boundary is from the first question of a quiz to the last question of a quiz.
Required The learner is required to at least attempt the quiz. A quiz attempt is defined as answering (selecting or typing an answer and pressing Submit) at least one question in the quiz. Simply viewing a question is not considered an attempt. Until the learners answer at least one question in the quiz, they are not permitted to move forward in the presentation beyond the last question slide in that quiz.

You can select a different quiz from the pop-up menu. Objective ID This is a number automatically created when you create a quiz. This number is used to report scores from Adobe Presenter presentations that will be tracked in Adobe Connect Server or a learning management system.
Add a feedback message to a question Because quizzes are interactive, it’s important to guide users through any question slides you place in projects. An easy way to communicate with users is through feedback messages. A feedback message can appear, for example, when a user selects a correct answer or incorrect answer. Feedback messages are set for individual questions, so you can choose to include messages in some questions or all questions within a quiz. 1.
Note: Any non-question (content) slides located within a question group boundary (between the first and last question of a question group) are not displayed in the published presentation. When you create question groups, you receive more options including setting mandatory questions, branching based on percentage scored in a question group, and question shuffling (the order of questions changes each time the quiz is displayed).
3. Do one of the following: Select an existing multiple choice, fill-in-the blank, or matching question and click Edit Question. Create a new multiple choice, fill-in-the blank, or matching question. Note: For fill-in-the-blank questions, answer shuffling is applicable only to questions where the user selects an answer from a list, not where the user writes in their own answer. 4. On the Question tab, select Shuffle Answers. 5. Click OK.

When you place quizzes in a presentation, you set a pass rate for users. The pass rate is a percentage or numeric value that users must reach in order to pass the quizzes. For example, setting a pass of 80% requires users to get 80% of the questions correct in order to pass. 1. In PowerPoint, open a presentation (PPT or PPTX file). 2. Click Adobe Presenter, and in the Quiz group, click Manage. 3. In the Quiz Manager, select a quiz and click Edit. 4. Click the Pass Or Fail Options tab. 5.
Note: If you select the Connect Pro Server or AICC option when setting reporting options, four AICC course structure files are created: presenter.au, presenter.crs, presenter.cst, and presenter.des. The files are created with default values, but the values can be edited manually. For more information, see the AICC website at www.aicc.org. Creating a SCORM manifest file If you want to package a Adobe Presenter presentation as an e-learning course that can be administered and launched from a SCORM 1.
check with your LMS administrator for assistance. Never Send Resume Data Select this option to send no resume data to your LMS. This might be useful if your LMS does not support resume data or another mechanism to prevent users from returning to a quiz they started, but did not finish, across multiple sessions.
