Atlantic Link takes up the Brandon Hall challenge

Atlantic Link have tested their new PowerPoint import capability on the demanding 'Brandon Hall' skyscan presentation, and the product breezed through with flying colours.

We used Content Point's automatic 'PowerPoint import' facility, and adjusted the settings to centre the course on the screen.

The import took less than 1 minute, and we only modified the answer slides. The rest of the slides, pictures, text and animations were generated fully automatically.

Here are our answers from the debrief checklist:

Were you able to finish the entire conversion during the 20 minutes? - Yes 100% in 8 minutes

Q) What is the overall size of your completed work (file size)? 600KB

Q) Tell us if you used audio and/or video in your output.
No, but we could have added these if required

 

The total time spent on the conversion was less than
8 minutes - well within the 20 minute target set by Brandon Hall.

The resulting course is fully content manageable, either via Content Point or through a simple web browser.

Next year, we will enter the PowerPoint shootout, and are confident of winning.
