Allowing Students to View Promethean Flipcharts

At times you may want other people to view your Flipcharts that do not have the Promethean board software such as students or other teachers. It may even benefit your students to place your Flipcharts on your teacher webpage or Moodle. This can be accomplished by exporting your Flipchart.

Exporting FlipCharts:

1. Start your ActivStudio software
2. Open or save your Flipchart
3. On your ActiStudio Toolbar, choose the Main Menu Icon then choose Flipchart from the dropdown menu.
4. Choose the Export Option then choose your export format.
5. Continue to follow the on screen directions and becareful to remember where you exported the file.

It's pretty easy and doesn't take long once you figure out the exporting format that you want to use.

Your best exporting formats to choose...

• HTML--Exports your slides to a web page that can be viewed within a browser. It gives you navigation controls. It's great if your viewers are going to access the flipchart from a web browser. The downside is the HTML file requires Adobe Shockwave to be loaded on the viewers computer which may need to be downloaded for free.
• PDF--Another good choice if your viewers are using a web browser to view your slides. Almost every web browser already has the Adobe's PDF reader installed, but may require the viewer to download the plugin.
• PowerPoint--This is a good option if you want to use PowerPoint to deliver a Flipchart you created. Just be careful to make sure the computer where the file is going to be viewed has PowerPoint already installed. Choosing the Maintain Separate Objects option gives you the most flexibility to edit the chart in PowerPoint.
• Word Document--This will save each slide onto a separate page as a graphic. It's nothing fancy, but it's easy to view. Again, you need to make sure the viewer has Microsoft Word. Not all computers have Microsoft Word or PowerPoint.
