Using Articulate Output as Presentation not e-Learning
Apr 17, 2012
I have a PPT that will be used in a classroom setting - facilitator talking to slides, some animations, old fashioned class. I made it a .PPS and posted it in our SharePoint site (internal). But SharePoint works such that it won't open in Show view, it always opens in PPT view.
So I said to myself, why not Articulate it. Great. Except that I can't figure out how to make it advance on click (without forcing the facilitator to push a specific button). The facilitators use those hand-held clicker things and don't sit at their desk as they present. They walk around.
Someone suggested making a screen size invisible button on every slide but that seems a little over the top.
I might have to host the PPS in another spot and put just the link in SP but I'm not sure that would fix the issue either. Or maybe I just have to trust that they'll put it into show mode on their own.
How would you work around this? Is there even a way to work around this?
Happy Presenting!

The electronic clickers are usually mapped to page up and page down, will fortunately is the same keys that Studio uses to advance.
To activate this go to player templates miscellaneous tab and check keyboard controls, it would then perform like a ppt presentation
Great idea.
I did that and it doesn't take my mouse click to move forward. I would need it to work with both the clicker and the mouse since this will be deployed to 5 business centers and about 30 managers. I'm not sure all of them have a clicker.
If you want a mouse click to go forward the only way really is to add a transparent rectangle over the slide with a hyper link to go to the next slide (you only need create one and copy paste if you use the "next slide" hyperlink) you would have to have the mouse on the slide though
