Hey all you PowerPoint presenters. Ever wonder how to save a PowerPoint presentation as video?

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 provides the ability to save a PowerPoint presentation as a video file.  In this session we quickly look how to record timings in a presentation and then save the presentation in the Windows Media Video format. Depending on the content of your presentation, creating a video may take some time. Lengthy presentations and presentations with animations, transitions, and media content will likely take longer to create. Fortunately, you can continue to use PowerPoint while the video is being created.

With over 1,200 video tutorials and more added on a regular basis, often times based on member requests, Log on to Learn is the most affordable and comprehensive training platform on the web for the Microsoft Office.

If a picture’s worth 1,000 words, then a video’s worth 10,000.

Let us help you customize and centralize your training resources. Whether it’s custom videos that represent your document templates or specific step-by-step tutorials for your proprietary software, we can create learning content that meets your specific training needs. Every Log on to Learn Member Company has their own private area in which they can store their own training materials. Let us help you create your new training curriculum. Save time and money by automating your training processes with custom video content that is created once and is used over and over. Do you have content already? We can show you how to add your already existing training materials to your private company pages and file libraries. Our easy to use WYSIWYG editors allow you to manage your content without having to know HTML. Add your own PDF’s, Docs and other files, upload or embed your own videos and interactive content.

Private forums are accessible to only your team.

Providing a low cost Microsoft Office training solution for companies is extremely important to Log on to Learn. Creating content once that can be used over and over by thousands of businesses has provided the opportunity to keep our member rates extremely low. Our low rates let you provide training to your entire staff for less than it costs to send one person to a traditional one day class! Log on to Learn offers small business, school, municipal and government pricing options.

What sets us apart from other online training companies? We are not just online. Log on to Learn was built by KnowledgeWave Training, a South Burlington, Vermont certified Microsoft Learning Partner. KnowledgeWave brings three decades of training experience to the table and was an early adaptor for remote training technologies. While Log on to Learn is a great resource we understand that sometimes a more in-depth hands-on approach is required. That’s why we provide options for hands-on, live instructor-led training that our Log on to Learn members can attend remotely. Live from your Desk training provides equal instructor access.  Remote students can ask questions and receive assistance from our instructors just like in room students. We offer live training options to both public and private groups.

When considering an online training provider, we think you should be looking for more than a vendor. Consider Log on to Learn and you get a partner that will work with you to customize your solution for Microsoft Office learning. Contact us for pricing and a live demonstration today! 800-831-8449
