Welcome

Hello. I am a Learning Technologist / materials developer for the Staff Development Centre at the University of Leicester. Contact me on zm32@le.ac.uk or 223 1449

I support Adobe Presenter (formly Breeze) and Blackboard for staff at the university. I also work closely with other staff developing online materials for various projects.

Adobe Presenter - Enables individuals to convert their PowerPoint presentations into multimedia resources. You can then share your presentations over the University network, Blackboard or the Internet through standard web browsers. Whatever your skill level you can achieve powerful results quickly because Presenter just adds an extra menu item to the familiar application - PowerPoint.

The potential of this technology is enormous, going far beyond basic slides, bullet points and a few graphics to spice up the content. It enables you to include interactivity in your instructional resources with graphics, animations and even quiz questions with feedback. With Presenter you can convert PowerPoint animations with your own timings or giving the user control of the pace and sequence. This converts your presentations to more accessible, rich multimedia resources. In the process the file size can be reduced to a quarter so they can be delivered over the Internet even with slow connections.

At Staff Development Centre we provide Presenter training in:-

  • Blackboard Workshop Plus
  • E-XChange
  • Team training - we can arrange a session around the needs of you and your course team

If you want to find out more or want to arrange a training session, please contact me  zm32@le.ac.uk or tel: 223 1449.
