Adobe Presenter is a great tool for creating Flash-based eLearning courses from within Microsoft PowerPoint. You can add animation effects and SWF files along with narration, quizzes, and simulations to transform the drab presentations into interactive multimedia experiences.

If you already have PowerPoint animations, such as flying or dissolving text and images, Presenter converts them seamlessly and displays them in the final presentation exactly as they appear in PowerPoint.

You can even synchronize the narration with animation timings. For example, if you have a slide with bulleted text items that fly in, or you have images that you want to appear in sync with the narration, you can adjust the timing so that the audio track matches the action of the animation. Let’s see one such example.

Here’s a demonstration on how to make it work:
