Adobe Presenter
What is Adobe Presenter?
Adobe Presenter enables faculty to seamlessly
publish PowerPoint content to the web to be easily
viewed, searched, and repurposed. Faculty can also
add audio narrations, animations, quizzes and surveys to assess learning.
Many faculty want the ability to convert PowerPoint
materials so that they can be distributed via an
email link, CD-ROM, webpage or Blackboard course
site. The Presenter plug-in for PowerPoint is available
through the center for Academic Affairs faculty
for their desktop computers. This helps meet the
need of on-demand student learning at UND.
All faculty requesting an account must attend
a workshop to receive your Presenter account information.
The center offers Presenter workshops to
faculty who would like to request an account and would like training. The list of training dates can be found at http://cilt.und.edu/workshops/index.html
