Henry Ford Community College has purchased a license for the
software Impatica. With Impatica you
can turn Power
Point presentations into Java animations on your website. Since many folks
already know how to use Power Point it is an easy way to add audio and all the
other features of Power Point to your online class, or math related web site.
I plan to experiment with Impatica over the next year and place the results
here.
