Asynchronous Distance Learning
UMUC Asynchronous Presentations

This page contains examples of audio enhanced PowerPoint presentations made at conferences, in the classroom and made available for downloading by students. The technology used was PowerPoint 98 and Real Presenter. These days I use a later version of PowerPoint and MP3 files for the audio. The MP3 approach is much much simpler.
