Overview

Impatica for PowerPoint makes it easy for your students to access narrated video presentations from your web site, e-mail and or BlackBoard learning content management system regardless of the type of platform, internet device and or plug-ins accessible to your students.

Impatica for PowerPoint does this by allowing you to simply convert a custom created PowerPoint file into a compressed format file, “optimized” for streaming over the Internet. Upon the custom created PowerPoint file becoming optimized for streaming over the Internet, the “Impaticized” file will be 95% smaller than a PowerPoint HTML (web site format) file.

An Impaticized file will allow for multiple types of delivery options to be accomplished. These delivery options are as follows:

  1. Online (as an HTML page)
  2. Embedded within an existing Web page
  3. Within a learning content management system (i.e.; Blackboard, WebCt and Desire2Learn)
  4. Offline (i.e.; on a CD-ROM)
  5. As an attachment to an e-mail, a link in an e-mail or as a streaming e-mail

Impaticized files will play in any Java 1.1 environment, including those that are listed below:

  • Windows
  • Macintosh
  • Sun Solaris
  • Linux
  • Unix
  • OS/2
  • Set-top Boxes
  • Many Hand Held Devices (i.e.; Blackberries)

Impatica for PowerPoint supports most features of PowerPoint, including those of text, graphics, transitions, animation effects and narration.
