Without an in-house graphic designer, we use what many people are familiar with, PowerPoint to create our learning content. To display the content online, we need a simple tool that can convert PowerPoint files to a single Swf, the ubiquitous Flash format. After evaluating various converters, we are pleased to find PPT2Flash from Wondershare. Not only is it priced reasonably, all the interactions in our Ppt file continue to work as well in the converted Swf.
To learn more about PPT2Flash, please download this brochure.
If you need to convert your PowerPoint file to Flash swf like we do, you can download a trial version or purchase your copy here.
Note that you can change the stage size of your Ppt to create the appropriate size of Swf (approx 1.39 inch : 100 pixel : 3.52 cm ).
Wondershare also has an entire e-learning suite available, you can also download a trial version and purchase it here.
