Evaluation of Adobe^® Presenter as a Teaching Tool

Adobe^® Presenter software provides educators with a tool to create narrated distance learning presentations. This article describes Adobe® Presenter's many features and explains which most strongly affect learning. Six Adobe^® Presenter trainings were presented to 62 volunteers preparing to provide information at a public outreach event. One month after the event, volunteers were surveyed about their ability to learn from the online training and to apply the information in their volunteer work. Although all features of the Adobe^® Presenter software were highly rated, questions embedded within the presentation and the voice-recorded narration were rated as particularly important to learning.
