OutStart Participates in Panel Discussion on Using PowerPoint as an Authoring Tool at 2011 WATS Pilot Conference

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--John Alonso, Co-founder and CTO of OutStart will be participating in a panel discussion on the pros and cons of using PowerPoint as an authoring tool at the World Aviation Training Conference and Tradeshow (WATS) and Pilot Conference (April 19 – 21, 2011).

“PowerPoint’s ease of use and popularity make it a natural environment for SMEs to contribute content. The keys are to extend PowerPoint’s functionality to make it a true learning development environment and to enable PowerPoint content to then be used directly by learning technologies such as LCMSs and mobile.”

Mr. Alonso will be providing expertise on content development for the panel. He will also share his first hand experiences and give advice on developing presentations geared for training, for re-purposing presentations that have already been developed, for distributing PowerPoint and PowerPoint-derived content, and strategies for capturing completion results in an LMS.

The panel discussion, entitled Unleashing the PowerPoint, will be held at 4:15-5:45pm on Wednesday, April 20, 2011.

The World Aviation Training Conference and Tradeshow (WATS) and Pilot Conference is being held at the Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, Orlando, Florida.
