Today, Microsoft announced that they have extended that preview to the public. Office Mix offers a simple way to turn your PowerPoint slides into interactive online lessons and presentations. Office Mix tool was developed as part of the Startup Business Group inside Microsoft that has released some pretty amazing technologies.
Office Mix is an add-in for PowerPoint that provides extra tools thatenhance how you deliver and share your presentation. In other words, Office Mix lets you be there even when you are not physically delivering yourpresentation. Mix enables you to record your delivery to perfection, and it saves all the interactivity. The end results closely mimicself-delivered content.
Within Office Mix (or Mix), you can add interactive quizzes and polls. You can also insert audio clips, videos, screen captures, and screenshots. Then you can use your your annotations, time them, and record as a video, and share with the world.
Note that Mix output doesn’t need PowerPoint for playback. Such content can be published online toOffice 365 or exported to a video. You can see some samples of Mix content and alsodownload some videos on the Office Mix site.
Some Mix content is very well designed and delivered, such as this sample Mix of Bill Gates’ talk, Are poor countries doomed to staypoor?
