Thank you for sharing. I can figure out how to get the Flash file embedded, but how did you embed the wiki in your PowerPoint? Tom,

Some IDs say that using animations such as wipe, expand, fade for these text bubbles is distracting and that having them just appear is better. Is there a standard?

I think that PPT is one best free form authoring environments for elearning. It's easy to use and it is quite sophisticated for what it is. In fact, PPT 2007 is almost like Flash lite. I'll be doing some posts on that in the near future. @James: Thanks for the feedback. I think that PPT is one best free form authoring environments for elearning.

What I have been saying for years. You know its interesting how this has all developed. Mac had an awesome tool in Hypercard and they let it die. Microsoft has in PowerPoint a tool that is completely front-end user friendly where the authoring drives the program. Most of the persons that I hear complaining are "code first authors" or people who avoid even interacting with the tool. You are only limited in PowerPoint by your imagination. I have used it to produce high end Videogames, multiple types of E-Content, Operation Systems, Password Based Security Systems, Interactive Digital E-Portfolios, Archival Photo Books, and Graphic User Interaces without all without an ounce of code... The greatest tool in the "Information Age" is one that its ease of use is readily transparent... Powerpoint does this and more. Excellent. What I have been saying for years.

Basically, the grouped images are vector-based images and are grouped segments. The images I use in my blog have been saved as bitmap images so they don't scale. Typically clip art is vector-based because it's designed to scale. But like you noticed, it's not always the case. @Mark: I’ve gotten some other requests, so I’ll do a blog post on how to work with grouped and ungrouped images.

Any tips for a beginner to pratice with? Not all types of images can be deconstructed so is it hit or miss when looking for them or shoudl I be looking for a particular type? For example, I like some of your images throughout your Blog. Can I save them (in what format) and un-group them? Thanks, Mark Hello Tom
