When choosing your format of choice, PowerPoint can be used to create a storyboard for your online training content. Many training managers tell us they don't want their training content to look like a PowerPoint.
You can choose from numerous software systems that can convert your PowerPoint files to Flash for quicker delivery and no plug-ins required. Some of these products are Power Converter, FlashSpring and Captivate, and the features and functionality varies by product. You can convert your PowerPoint content using an integrated authoring tool, such as FlexAuthoring, for simple, fast online course production.
The integrated authoring tool and web page template, FlexAuthoring, allows the user to link to a web page or pull in an external URL. The frame of the FlexAuthoring learning screen displays the content. The bookmarking and navigation features function just as they do for other templates. The training designer can insert web deliverable content into the FlexAuthoring learning screen, even if has been crated in a third party authoring tool. This might include PowerPoint, Flash, HTML, a Web URL, or other formats. These sources of external training content can be used an single course sections or included as part of a larger section.
Ability to create Flash Slides (FlashSpring option). Flash slides are an important advancement for PowerPoint conversion options. You have the option of converting the entire PowerPoint to a Flash Movie or HTML format. These are excellent options but don't allow for bookmarking to the specific slide where the student leaves the section. PowerPoint provides the option of saving JPEG image slides that can be used in FlexAuthoring to achieve the bookmarking functionality, but it is difficult to create the same quality in the image compared to actual PowerPoint. Also, since the image is static, any animations or audio created in the PowerPoint are lost. Audio for image slides need to be imported to the FlexTraining Media Library and then matched to the image and learning screen.
To product an individual Flash object slide that will reflect the original quality, Flash slides capture the audio and animation contained in PowerPoint. This Flash slide can be added to a FlexAuthoring template so the learner has the option to navigate and bookmark the designated learning screen.
Two options are available. In option one, the Flash slides can be imported into the Media Library and can be embedded via the standard MultiMedia template of FlexAuthoring, the integrated authoring tool. With option two, you can point to the Flash slide by utilizing the new external URL template.
Transitioning your PowerPoint files to the look and feel of "web content" includes many options, file formats and simple steps.
