PowerPoint + audio + simple interactivity = Breeze

 

Breeze, powered by Adobe Presenter, is an authoring tool which makes use of PowerPoint, enabling you to add audio, video and interactivity to create standalone web-accessible presentations.

Requirements

All you require are a computer with an internet connection, a headset with microphone and Microsoft PowerPoint (2003/2007) on Windows. It is also good to find a quiet place to minimise background noise, and to schedule enough time to create the Breeze presentation.

Tips

  • Publishing Breeze outside the campus

    If you decide to publish your presentations at home, you are advised to use this alternative upload method for better speed and reliability.

    If you have inserted video or more than one hour of audio recording in your presentations, you are strongly advised to publish your presentations on campus instead. Your presentation may take a long time to upload from outside campus due to the large file size.

  • Copying your PowerPoint files with Breeze recordings to another computer

    If you have recorded a Breeze presentation at home, but would like to publish it from a different computer on campus, then you must copy both the original PowerPoint presentation and the accompanying folder which Breeze creates for you. This folder will be found in the same location as your PowerPoint file.

    • For PowerPoint 2003, the accompanying folder will have the same name as your PowerPoint file.
    • For PowerPoint 2007, the accompanying folder will be the PowerPoint file name plus "_pptx".
      e.g. If your PowerPoint file is named "Presentation1", the folder created will be named "Presentation1_pptx".
