Rapid eLearning/Conversion tools

These are primarily PowerPoint and/or MS Word to web (usually Flash)
conversion tools. PowerPoint can be a powerful authoring tool in expert hands
but both the instructional design and the technical implementation of it take time.

Too often companies see these as tools for taking bad PowerPoint presentations
and making them into even worse elearning.
