“PowerPoint’s ease of use and popularity make it a natural environment
for SMEs to contribute content. The keys are to extend PowerPoint’s
functionality to make it a true learning development environment and to enable
PowerPoint content to then be used directly by learning technologies such as
LCMSs and mobile.”
