Sharing Documents
An argument for creating and/or posting documents directly from your Google Drive
There are some advantages to creating presentations directly in Google Drive for sharing on your website.
1. By controlling editing through the share feature, the contents stay intact like a PDF without giving up animations you may have included.
2. Documents don't have to be uploaded, only hyperlinked.
3. Documents don't have to be downloaded on the user end. They open seamlessly like a webpage.
4. Your documents are more finely integrated into the visual design of your webpage, giving you more control over the look, feel, and user-friendliness of your site.
5. If you do want to allow editing by users, multiple copies or versions aren't created. It all saves to one document accessible with everyone's Google Drive account.

The audio feature allows instructors the luxury of maximizing the use of their students' visual and audio channels. Instead of creating only visual or textual content, your students can now ease that visual processing effort with audio explanations of what is viewed on each slide. Another great feature of myBrainshark is that you can record one slide at a time. That way you don't have to remember everything you need to say to narrate the entire presentation.
