Assignment 2 (Second post)

Adobe Presenter 7
·         Adobe Presenter 7 is software which allows the instructor to enhance existing power point presentations. Some say death by power point, well not anymore. Most often this tool would be used for online distant courses where by more flavor would be added to presentations adding excitement and further indebt information. This would bridge the gap between classroom instruction and distance education.
·         I would incorporate this software into all online courses in which I use power point. This is easily done once the software is purchased and installed. It allows for further explanation to each slide by instructor narration. It is not in real time but this pre-recording can be perfect due to editing therefore absolutely nothing is accidentally missed or left out. Students can then review a lesson as many times as they need to learn the objective which is sometimes a disadvantage in class room teaching. Another valuable use would be when a student misses a lesson; the instructor just gives the student the lesson for viewing.
·         Advantages of this software include the ability to import rich animations, edit video in any format, and easily create professional flash technology–based presentations and self-paced courses complete with narration and interactivity. The instructor can record and edit high-quality audio to each slide as if instructing in front of the class. If need be quizzes can also be incorporated to the lessons. Disadvantages are that this software is not free, it costs around five hundred dollars but it is a onetime purchase and it is only the instructor who needs it. There is a thirty day free trial if anyone wishes to try it out.
