Synopsis
Online teaching is becoming increasingly common at most higher education institutions. Online instruction
methods range from hybrid courses that offer a combination of face-to-face and online instruction, to fully
online experiences and distance learning. However, many educators still resist offering such courses due to
the fear that developing rich e-learning content requires a lot of time and specialized skillsnot just to
produce but also to modify and maintain.
Adobe Presenter, an e-learning authoring tool, enables you to quickly create professional, high-quality
presentations from within Microsoft PowerPoint. In this workshop, you'll learn how, with just a few clicks,
you can transform your PowerPoint presentations into engaging, compact Flash presentations. Narration,
animations, quizzes, and software simulations can be easily added to your e-learning courses. The
presentations can then be easily shared over the University network, IVLE or web pages.
Note: Adobe Presenter was formerly known as Macromedia Breeze Presenter.
