Learning Light supports PresentationTube by making open content
available via the E-Learning Centre
Learning Light, which provides advice and help to organisations on
how to use e-learning and learning technologies to improve their
business performance, is making
PresentationTube available via the
The E-Learning Centre
website.
The E-learning Centre is an information resource about e-learning
and learning technologies for business education, not-for-profit or
the public sector. In addition to the information and resources
freely available on the site are a number of
e-learning materials.
These are gathered under the heading of 'courses' and produced by
acknowledged leaders in technology-delivered corporate learning.
PresentationTube, an enterprise which is sponsored by the Internet
Society, ByteScout, Microsoft and Learning Light, offers a desktop
presentation recorder and video sharing platform to help teachers,
students and business professionals to produce and share
professional and high quality video presentations.
The recorder allows presenters to narrate and annotate PowerPoint
slides and synchronise visual aids, including webcam footage,
whiteboard, drawing board and web browser. The platform integrates
the recorded video and scrollable slide thumbnails, allowing the
audience to move to the respective video content and control both
the time and progress of video presentation.
Learning Light director, David Patterson, commented: "We're
delighted to be able to make this open content freely available via
the E-learning Centre website.
"Indeed, PresentationTube offers two ways of creating presentations
- some of which is free but, for higher quality presentations, the
premium version is certainly superior. Users are encouraged to
develop presentations, on a variety of topics, and then upload these
to the PresentationTube website, in the manner of open content
sites.
"We expect this to be a popular component of the newly re-launched
E-learning Centre - as a source of ready-made presentations to be
included in a course, or even a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)
perhaps," he added.
