IMS Content Package Options

This exports the presentation to an IMS Content Package. An IMS Content Package is a standard way to package a set of resources (typically web pages) that can be deployed in various learning/content management systems. This means that a single IMS Package can be deployed in systems like Moodle, Blackboard, Sakai, and others without any additional work. IMS Content Packages also utilize the learning/content management system's native navigation controls to allow users to traverse the files.

As with the HTML output, the IMS Content Package meets Section 508 accessibility requirements and conforms to WCAG 1.0, Priority 1 and 2 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).

IMS Content Package Export Options

Include Lecturer's Notes

This option exports the notes typed in the Lecturer's Notes section in Microsoft PowerPoint. The Lecturer's Notes can be used for transcripts of the audio.

In order for a presentation with audio to meet accessibility requirements a transcript must be included.

The Lecturer's Notes can be included even if there is no audio with the presentation.

JPEG Quality

This sets the quality of the JPEG compression for the images. 100% is high quality and 0% is low quality. Quality settings lower than 50% will be noticably poor.

75%-80% is a good balance between quality and size.

Audio Quality

This sets the quality of the audio. The audio is exported in the MPEG-4 format, so high quality audio can be achieved at very small file sizes. The highest quality (128 Kbs) will be very near to CD quality in most circumstances.

For voice recordings, medium quality (32 Kbs) will usually provide exceptional quality for the size.

Stereo/Mono

This sets whether the audio will be exported in stereo or mono.

If the audio that is recorded or imported is in mono, the audio should be exported as mono. In this case exporting it as stereo will not increase the quality of the file and will cause the file size to increase significantly.
