Week 6 Reflections

I couldn't really focus as much on this week's tasks as I usually do. However, I did go through the reading material and I did look at the interactive presentations prepared and shared by all of you. I'm amazed at the work we've all done. Who would've thought we'd be able to create our own interactive PowerPoint Presentations in such a short time? I was just wondering how we could share these presentations online without losing the interactivity. You must have noticed that the online version of our presentations is not as good as the ones we created and viewed on our own systems. So I searched for the solution and tried SkyDrive to upload and share my presentation online. The result was something like below.



As you can see, through SkyDrive I can neatly embed my presentation into this blog but unfortunately it only supports linear presentations. I lost almost all interactivity that was crucial to the quiz I created. Then I tried iSpring Free to convert my presentation into flash file.



Still there’re issues to resolve but I think in time I’ll rectify them. I’m planning to use tools and techniques that I learned this week in our college website. At the moment it’s just a static website but I want to use it to upload dynamic content and to engage my students into interactive exercises based on the learning material that is part of their syllabus.

  1. Hi Muhammad,

    Interesting search you conducted to find a way to include your PPT. I liked your PowerPoint--it is very interactive and fun.

    I hope you are doing okay. I wish you and your family the best.

  2. Hi Muhammad,
    I am impressed by your search of better ways to keep the PP interactive and the way you want it.
    It gives me more impetus to go on with my experimenting with all new tools- I am not very smart with technology, but I like it and believe it has all the future. So I have to struggle my way through:)

    You really keep fascinating me with all the new tools and applications you make use of. This is very inspiring to me. For sure I will try both SkyDrive and iSpring Free. Of course I will share with you so you can score my work.
    Did you have some time to check my blog? Can you suggest any ideas?
