8 Introduction: Breeze Presenter Quick Start Guide

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Macromedia Breeze Presenter

Macromedia Breeze Presenter is a software tool for creating e-learning content and high-quality

multimedia presentations rapidly. Breeze Presenter uses Microsoft PowerPoint, a popular

application that is part of the Microsoft Office suite, as a base. Finished presentations are in Flash

format (SWF file) and are SCORM and AICC compliant.

Breeze Presenter is an excellent complement to Macromedia Breeze. You can create content that

includes interactive quizzing and surveys, audio, and a customizable viewer with Breeze Presenter.

Breeze Presenter sends the PowerPoint (PPT) and Pocket PC (PPC) files, as well as presentation

data, to the Breeze server. Then, you can simply log on to the Breeze server and, using Breeze

Manager, complete the publishing process by selecting permission and folder options.

You can add straightforward or sophisticated quizzes to presentations. Breeze Presenter supports

six different types of questions that can either be graded or used as surveys. You can use branching

to guide users through different paths in the presentation based on their answers to quizzes.

Breeze Presenter provides a simple interface for using a microphone to add audio narration to

your presentation. In addition, you can easily synchronize your PowerPoint animations with your

audio narration.

The Breeze Presenter intuitive interface and its complete integration with PowerPoint eliminates

the need for additional training or Flash programming. In minutes, you can transform static

PowerPoint files into dynamic web experiences by adding audio, video, multimedia, interactive

quizzes and surveys, and extensive branding. When you have created your content, simply publish

it to a Breeze server.

After you have installed Breeze Presenter, you access the program from within PowerPoint.When

you open PowerPoint, a new menu named “Breeze” appears in the menu bar. For more

information, see “Installing Breeze Presenter” on page 12.
