Parleys Desktop Application

Parleys Desktop Application

Parleys is a software suite and hosting site that allows you to incoporate video/audio with PowerPoint slides.... this has been done before.  What is new and worthwhile here is that you can tag and comment on the presentations while they are playing and follow up users can read your tags and comments.

Parleys most likely will work well in the asynchronous online classrooms because it mimics a lecture and allows feedback, questions, comments, etc... exactly where they would appear in the lecture.  The program itself is also featured filled with layout configurations.

Currently in Beta.
