final presentation in lieu of Elluminate meeting

Please find the link to final presentation here.

Although this is, by no means, a finished product, I am glad to have encountered a presentation application which combines taped narrative (or videos or attachments) with a slide presentation. I think I will use this for my course and as long as I can iron out a kink which has me stumped. The final version of an .odp file which I upload from my documents is not the file which appears on the Slidesix presentation. I'm feeling as if I have to start over with another slide presentation, which might as well be for some of the content of my course.

This presentation uses SlideSix. Has anyone tried Brainshark or SlideStory? and are there advantages of one over the others?

Should workplace wellbeing be part of the strategic intent of the organization?
Is it the responsibility of management to instruct participants in stress reduction techniques or coping skills techniques?
