Create, edit, and publish dynamic media presentations for the classroom with Microsoft Producer. Bring lessons to life with moving images, sound, and interactive elements that engage your audience. Producer combines video or audio with synchronised PowerPoint slides. Students can easily create projects, games, and rich-media presentations. It also helps them view lessons at their own pace, or repeat detailed sessions that require more than one viewing. Teachers can use Producer to exchange ideas or share skills more effectively with colleagues at times when face-to-face contact is limited. You can create course material and workshops for training. In the classroom, Producer helps you to demonstrate difficult concepts that words or static diagrams may not easily convey, and capture students’ attention by making presentations fun. PowerPoint presentations are converted into online rich media using Producer, and can run manually or be timed. Interactive elements are inserted so the teacher or pupil can access visually-stimulating tools such as animations and simulations.
