Blendspace

Formerly Edcanvas, Blendspace is a web-based tool that allows users to combine materials together from all over the web into beautiful lessons.

This site actually functions a little more like a course website than a new way to create PPT files. You can easily drop in files from your drop box, files from the web, files already in Blendspace, YouTube, Google Drive. You can even upload media files you create into the site. You can allow commonts and track the views of the lesson.  It's easily customizable with themes, colors, and layouts. Additionally, you can share or embed the lesson using a variety of formats. You can restrict the privacy of the lesson and even add Co-Authors to the lesson.

The site offers lots of pre-built lessons so you can see how others are using them in their teaching/learning environments.

Overall very good resource and I am excited to build a lesson for my fall class!

This site is a new way to do presentations--more powerful than PowerPoint and certainly easily accessible.  It is great from both student and instructor perspectives.
