Breeze Services

Macromedia Breeze is an automated system for generating online presentations and participating in online meetings, seminars, and class sessions. Breeze presentations are viewable on any platform (PC, Mac, UNIX, Linux, etc.), and any browser that can support the Macromedia Flash 7 player.

The Breeze system is composed of two major components: Breeze Presenter and Breeze (Live) Meeting.

Breeze Presenter – Personalize PowerPoint presentations with your own recorded narration and deliver presentations through any standard web browser. Users create Breeze presentations with PowerPoint and the Breeze plug-in and do not need to know how to use Macromedia Flash or ActionScript. They can record and edit audio narrations for each slide or animation, create quizzes or self-tests, and embed Flash animations and video directly into the presentation. The completed presentation is published to the Breeze server where it is converted into Flash and made available via a simple URL. Breeze presentations can also be uploaded to another web server or burned to a CD-ROM.

Breeze (Live) Meeting - Enables faculty and staff to conduct online courses, seminars, and meetings from their desktop computers. During an online meeting, presenters in a meeting can display content such as presentations and graphics, broadcast audio and video, interact using chat and whiteboard tools and gather real-time feedback through polls.
