Web as Desktop: Live presentations on the web!

Are you suffering the high cost and continual repetition of live presentations?

"As a president, I always join many meetings and trade shows to present our products or corporation. There is no problem with the live presentation. But I’m stuck when I want to sharing the meeting with others after it. Because I need present the same presentation again and again even spend additional high costs on driving or flying. The boring continual repetition makes me crazy. Is there any way to take my live presentation to the web? – Mr. Cooper”

PowerPoint is still the most popular tool for presentations now. It could integrate images, movies, narrations, animations to make the presentation animated and interactive. But the PowerPoint file is big and hard to share on the web, hard to integrate with the presenter’s video and narration to live up the presentation.

How to distribute the live presentations to web to reduce the cost?

As everybody knows that, web presentation is a big cost and time saving solution. If we could run the presentation with the presenter’s video and narration online, it will be perfect. The difficulty of the web presentation is hard to integrate the presenter’s video and narration along with the PowerPoint presentation content. Is there any way to fix this problem?

A brand new service gives you an easy-to-use way to integrate the presenter’s video with PowerPoint slideshows, sharing the results online. This simple tool makes it a piece of cake to run the presenter’s video content side-by-side with PowerPoint presentations. So the audience could get the presentation running alongside with presenter’s video and narration in action, likes that the presenter stands by them. This really has the power to bring online presentations to life. There are many tools such as Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional and services like Omnisio, Zentation to integrate the video along with the PowerPoint slideshows. Here is the comparability of the two ways.

PPT2Flash Professional converts the PowerPoint presentations to Flash with presenter’s video and narration in one click. It works as a PowerPoint add-in. Presenter could easily distribute the Flash presentations to their website or training center for sharing. The Flash format is safer and smaller for web distribution.

Omnisio and Zentation are simple online applications for the synchronization and sharing of the Slideshare-hosted PowerPoint decks and Google Video-hosted content. You could upload your video to Youtube and then upload the PowerPoint presentation to Slideshare, use Omnisio and Zentation to synchronization them together. They will generate one webpage for you. You could share the content with others on this webpage.

For inner continual presentations, PPT2Flash Professional seems a better solution.
For external one time presentation, Omnisio and Zentation are better solutions.

3 Must Know Tips to Create Multimedia Courses and Engage your Learners

Nowadays distance teaching and learning becomes more and more popular. Without the face to face feeling and feedback, as a teacher, how to attract learners’ attention during the distance teaching becomes a popular question. This article gives you some tips and resources empower nontechnical subject matter experts to create engage courses using nothing more complicated than Microsoft PowerPoint. Click to view sample courses>>

Courses with Pictures

Anyone who’s ever designed an eLearning course, corporate brochure or any form of graphic design, has at one time or another been asked to replace one or more images that could be perceived to be offensive or biased.

Lee and Bowers (1997) studied a group of university students to determine under which set of conditions people learned best. The participants were given a pre-test, they then learned the material, and then were given a post-test. Their learning was compared with the learning of a control group that took the same pre- and post-tests, but studied a different topic in-between. When compared with the learning performance of the control group, the people in the different groups always demonstrated more learning:

• Hearing spoken text and looking at graphics – 91% more learning,
• Looking at graphics alone – 63% more,
• Reading printed text plus looking at graphics – 56% more,
• Listening to spoken text, reading text, and looking at graphics – 46% more,
• Hearing spoken text plus reading printed text – 32% more,
• Reading printed text alone – 12% more,
• Hearing spoken text alone – 7% more.


Courses with teacher’s Narration

Students who listened to a narration explaining how a bicycle tire pump works while also viewing a corresponding animation generated twice as many useful solutions to subsequent problem-solving transfer question than did students who listened to the same narration without viewing any animation (Mayer & Anderson, 1991,1992). It’s so easy to record the narration for the eLearning courses from microphone.

Many eLearning tools help you to create multimedia eLearning courses with narration and video clips. Such as Articulate Presenter, Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional, Adobe Presenter, and so on.

Courses with featured sample video

The multimedia effect is consistent with a cognitive theory of multimedia learning because students given multimedia explanations are able to build two different mental representations – a verbal model and a visual model – and build connections between them. A sample video could give the students an engaged impression.

Free Image Resources

• Microsoft Office Online. Microsoft offers quite a few really nice images. For example, just do a search of “business people” to start.

• Stock.xchng. This is a good blend of free images and links to relatively inexpensive stock images.

• Flickr. There are many photo community sites like Flickr where people upload their photos for use based on the Creative Commons license.

Convert PowerPoint to Flash with Simulations

PowerPoint integrates simulations is ideal for the software or computer-based training and presentations, it could significant enhance the presentation and training content, and also it could make the presentation and training content more interactive and effective.

How to convert PowerPoint to Flash Manually

Converting PowerPoint to Flash would absolutely be a good choice to distribute your bulky PowerPoint presentations. You can do the whole PowerPoint to Flash conversion manually or with professional applications.

First, you'll need to prepare the PowerPoint files. Make sure you are not using any complicated gradients or animations. These will be interpreted poorly when they are brought into Flash. Also, make sure there are no objects that fall outside the confines of the slide area. This will ensure that all the slides align correctly when they are imported to Flash. Now, save a copy of your presentation without any background images. You may want to also choose a contrasting background color to easily see the content of each slide. You all import the background images into Flash at a later time.

Second, choose File > Save As... from your PowerPoint document and save the presentation as a Windows Metafile (*.wmf). This will save your entire presentation as a sequence of files. WMF files keep all text.

Next, create a new Flash Document and resize the Stage to 720 x 540. Change the background color to black. Choose File > Import > Import to Stage... and import the first WMF file. When asked to import all of the images in the sequence, choose Yes. This will place each slide from your presentation onto a sequence of frames.

Then, create a new layer under the slides layer and import the images to use for your background. You'll probably need two images, one for title slides and one for the regular slides.

Now it's time for some manual labor. You'll need to go through every frame of the movie and delete the solid background shape from your slides layer. Once this is complete, you should see the content of each slide with the correct background image behind it.

Finally, add a frame to the end of your movie. Place some static text on that frame that says something like "End of slideshow, click to exit."

Alright, now it's time to move on to some ActionScript. Create a new layer for your actions. There are a few statements you'll need to include right away.

First, you want this movie to play full screen so add an fscommand.

fscommand("fullscreen","true")-;

To make sure the Stage resizes correctly specify the scaleMode.

Stage.scaleMode = "exactFit";

Finally, you don't want the movie to begin playing through all the slides right away before the user starts clicking, so add a stop function.

stop();

You'll need to include some functions that will be used frequently to navigate the presentation.

function gotoNextSlide():Void { if (_currentframe <>

Next, we need to handle all the keyboard and mouse events so that the user can navigate through the slides. We'll do this by creating a new listener object.

var myListener:Object = new Object();

myListener.onKeyDown = myOnKeyDown;myListener.onKeyUp = myOnKeyUp;Key.addListener(myListener);

myListener.onMouseUp = myOnMouseUp;Mouse.addListener(myListener);-Here are the listener functions.

function myOnKeyDown():Void { if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN) Key.isDown(Key.PGDN)) { gotoNextSlide(); } else if (Key.isDown(Key.UP) Key.isDown(Key.PGUP)) { gotoPreviousSlide(); } else if (Key.isDown(Key.END)) { gotoEnd(); } else if (Key.isDown(Key.HOME)) { gotoHome(); }
}

function myOnKeyUp():Void { if (Key.getCode() == 27) { quit(); }
}

function myOnMouseUp():Void { gotoNextSlide();
}

If the steps below is too complicated to you, you can try some PowerPoint to Flash converters. Some free office applications like OpenOffice offers the output as SWF file, but without animations and effects. Also you can try commercial converters such as Wondershare PPT2Flash Pro to output originals with animatinos. After all, these conversion tools can help you convert PowerPoint to Flash automatically without too much coding.
