Export to Powerpoint from Storyline

When I read through Bruce's comments the first time, I have to admit I was a bit confused as to the intent behind it. Looking through all the comments though, it seems to me that his point is valid from the perspective of a classroom trainer. Those of us who do have extensive classroom teaching experience would certainly agree that Power Point is something that should be avoided except as an aid to the points you make during instruction. For classroom instructors, Power Point is something that is not a primary tool, but really more of something we use every now and then when we need a better way to help our participants understand a complex concept that is difficult to just talk through. Converting a WBT course to Power Point is, from this perspective, counter-intuitive.

Now, not all WBT developers actually have classroom experience, and many may not have even written a course. Perhaps these days it may be that most WBT developers have not. In many training shops these days, a course developer will write the course, and then partner with a WBT developer to turn it into a WBT, who may be more talented with graphics and slide design, etc. From this perspective, I think the impulse to turn an SL course into a Power Point is understandable, and may be the only way they can translate the meaning of each slide into something that SMEs can take apart and make comments on, post development IF a storyboard was not used during the design phase.
