Instant Presenter Software

[chasb73]

We currently use instant presenter to broadcast some of our lessons. This product broadcasts the powerpoint presentation along with Video and Audio from a webcam/mic attached to a PC in the classroom.

Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives as we find instant presenters quality very low when broadcasting

Thanks

broadcasts it where?

Could you not use VNC?

Broadcasts to the internet as a session that other users can log on to and interact with. Upload a powerpoint presentation to it and stream a live broadcast along side it of a lecturer going through the presentation...

if you're using an older version of Powerpoint (2003 and earlier), there was a Broadcast feature which just needed a Windows Media publishing point.

In Powerpoint 2007, the broadcast feature has been dropped from within Powerpoint and is now within Office Live.

A lady I used to work with maintains a list of E-Learning/teaching tools and it's well worth taking a look at her list of web conferencing tools.

Audio over the net was always a problem when I used to use Placeware, WebEx etc and we opted to use telephone conferencing services (GeneSys, Worldcom).

Anyone used Adobe Connect?

This might be the answer...
