As one who works with ISD's and online learning via Moodle, observed teachers basically transferring their old file sharing methods to online file sharing by uploading their files - PowerPoints, Word, Excel.
If one considers the end point (student owned technology) and the 'client' accessing/using the content (students) simply uploading Word docs, PowerPoints, and other file types may not address technology to which students have access when away from the ISD computers/lab/network.
So here's an online tool - FREE - to help break the 'upload syndrome': SlideGo
The following 'lifted' from their interactive slide show on their front page:
HTML with Bells & Whistles
• Make HTML snippets with animations and multimedia then embed them in web pages.
• The output is optimized for search engines and fully accessible.
• Reuse ready templates to make photo books, product catalogs...
Interactive Textbooks
• Build textbook with localized and interactive content to teach students better.
• Work collaboratively with other authors on the same project.
• Download output as a lesson object to use in learning management system like Moodle.
Quizzes & Games
• SlideGo combines Powerpoint-like interactions with quizzes, surveys, crosswords, games...
• Ideal for schools for building quick and fun assessments to reinforce learning points.
• Invite students or Facebook friends to attempt quizzes, then review or publish scores to your community.
Storybooks for iPad
• SlideGo animations utilize latest web technologies like HTML5 and CSS3. They look lively on mobile devices such as iPad or Galaxy Tab.
• They can also be compiled immediately into mobile apps using Phonegap.
• One-click publishing to market places will also be available.
Online Presentation
• SlideGo editor works like any presentation software – let’s use it to make slideshows!
• You will be able to present remotely with synchronized slides yet not losing any animation effects.
• And just like Powerpoint – there are endless other uses of SlideGo.
