Let’s face it: PowerPoint presentations can be pretty boring, especially if the presenter reads directly from the slides, one by one. But with iSpring Free, you can take your PowerPoint presentations up a few notches by inserting Flash files directly into your slides and even publishing the presentations themselves as Flash videos.

If you’re familiar with PowerPoint’s user interface, then you’ll have no trouble navigating iSpring Free as it integrates itself into the Ribbon as an extra tab. The menu options are few, but they get to the point: Publish and Insert. As its name suggests, the Publish option gives you two options, Quick Publish and Publish, to publish your entire presentation as a Flash video. The Insert option let you insert Flash files and YouTube videos into your slides. We pulled up an existing PowerPoint presentation that we had saved, found a YouTube video, and very easily inserted the clip into a slide. We were able to drag and resize the video to any place we wanted on the slide. To view the video, we simply had to start the slideshow. Sure enough, it played right there in the presentation. Using the Quick Publish feature, we were able to publish the presentation as a Flash video using the current settings. The Publish feature offered more in-depth settings for our presentation, such as naming it and selecting the slide range to be converted into Flash as well as options for starting the video presentation automatically, looping it, and adjusting slide duration and autoclick. Each feature performed without a hitch, and in no time, our presentation was converted into a Flash video that opened in our browser, which allowed us to pull the HTML code to insert into our blog. iSpring Free doesn’t include any kind of help feature, but it’s really not necessary.

This free add-on installs a desktop icon without permission but uninstalls cleanly. We highly recommend iSpring to all PowerPoint users.

Free QuizMaker helps you create quick surveys and quizzes. You provide the questions and the program does the rest. Although anyone could use it, it’s a good tool for teachers. Free QuizMaker creates SCORM-compatible quizzes and surveys that integrate easily with Learning Management Systems such as Moodle.

Free QuizMaker’s setup finishes with two Quick Start options: Create a New Graded Quiz and Create a New Survey Quiz. The program’s user interface is based on its premium tool and favors Office apps with its “Start” button, Ribbon-style Quick Access Toolbar, and up-to-date rendering. The Tools menu has Import and Duplicate utilities and a Blank Slide tool with Image, Audio, and Video capabilities, and the Help and Support options include a Community Forum.

We needed answers to serious questions so we started by creating some survey questions (“Yes/No,” “Pick One,” and “Pick Many”), which appeared in the left sidebar. We could create graded tests with True/False, Multiple Choice, and Multiple Response questions, too. Clicking or hovering produced samples and info. for each quiz type. We could attach images and other files to individual questions, change the order of questions, and add as many answers as required; then preview the results. When our quiz was ready, we pressed “Publish” to save it in Word, an LMS, or My Computer and simultaneously open it in a browser window. We answered the questions, viewed the details, and reviewed the survey results. We did well! Yes, we knew the answers in advance, but we didn’t know Free QuizMaker would ace its test, too.
