Web Presentation Tools And Technologies: A Mini-Guide

Read full article here...

Web presentation tools and technologies provide the means to deliver any PowerPoint-based or similar type of visual presentation to an Internet-connected audience, no matter where participants are connecting from.

Most web presentation technologies, do away with requiring end users to have an installed copy of Microsoft PowerPoint and increasingly offer not just the ability to digitally distribute such presentations but also of creating them.

Until recently, sharing a PowerPoint presentation with other people, let alone doing this in real-time, was a major challenge. The size of a typical PowerPoint file didn't make it easy to send it via email, and incompatibilities between different versions of PowerPoint made the effort even more complex for the non-technical user.

PowerPoint itself allows the saving of any presentation as a set of Web pages. But while such output can be comfortably looked at on the computer where you have created it, it is not easy at all for a non-technically-savvy person to learn how to make those web pages show up at a specific address on the web where anyone else connected to the Internet can see them too.

Some of the limitations of exporting PowerPoint presentations into web pages directly from within PowerPoint may include:

  • Animations including slide transitions, are not supported (however, animated GIF pictures do run and are supported).

  • GIF pictures might not be animated if the presentation is saved with a screen size setting of 640 x 480 or less.

  • The slide isn't scaled to fit the browser window. It stays at a fixed screen resolution based on the screen size setting selected when you published the presentation.
