Hughes Presenter
Hughes converts PowerPoint presentations into interactive and web-friendly Flash files.
PLEASE NOTE: The Hughes company is the new owners of the Helius and PointeCast software. You may hear people refer to the software as either Hughes Presenter, Helius Presenter, OR PointeCast Publisher. These names are interchangeable - the software is basically the same - and might be named as either when you install it.
Converting Microsoft PowerPoint presentations into FLASH movies
PowerPoint presentations are normally large files (specially if they are animated and/or narrated). If you want to upload these presentations to the internet (inc. Blackboard) it may be a good idea to convert the presentation to a FLASH movie format (producing a much smaller file while keeping the animations and narration).
Here are further guides to installing and using Hughes.
