iSpring PowerPoint Converter

I am always looking for media creation solutions for teaching.  One of our faculty members had mentioned in the last faculty meeting that she was using iSpring to convert her PowerPoint slides with audio to Flash for her courses.  I looked a the software, but it appeared that I had to purchase it.  Another faculty member shared that there was a free version for educators.  I did a search and found that iSpring provides a free license after completing a form at http://www.ispringsolutions.com/ispring_free_license_request.html  
The software is available for Russian and French languages.

iSpring sent me an email with the download link and the registration code.  After I downloaded the software I was prompted to open PowerPoint.  iSpring was a new PowerPoint menu tab.  The PowerPoint iSpring Free menu has four sections:

• Publish - Quick Publish & Publish
• Insert - Quiz, Flash, & YouTube
• About - Update, About, Upgrade to Pro
• Follow Us - Facebook

When I clicked the Quiz icon, a pop-up message indicated that I could download free Quiz software.  The Flash icon opened a Windows browse menu - to find and insert a Flash animation.  The YouTube icon opened a window for entering a URL.  I am looking forward to exploring the use of the software.   It may a a fantastic tool to create learning resources for MERLOT (http://www.merlot.org ).
