[discuss] Impress with decision making

[Darrell Feebeck]

As a teacher, I like to create interactive presentations and tutorials 
for my students.  Usually, I use Flash because MS PowerPoint doesn't 
have the functionality for rudimentary decision making.  Unfortuantely, 
for most instructors that I work with, Flash has too high of a learning 
curve, and it also usually takes some time to develop.  If Open Office 
Impress could implement some rudimentary form of branch decision making 
and perhaps variable assigning, this would be the ultimate teaching 
tool.  If you remember the Amiga computer, they had a program called 
AmigaVision, that had all the tools for this type of thing.  It was icon 
driven, easy to use and had just this sort of features.  I wish someone 
would make a program similar to this, or at least add some of its 
features.  I'm not trying to change what Impress is or turn it into a 
programming language, but if some of these features could be added, I 
think there would be happy teachers the world over and Impress would 
crush MS PowerPoint even more than it already does.  Just a thought.
