Overview

The Roche Genetics Education Program Presentation Tool allows you to create a presentation by pre-selecting screens from the Program in any desired sequence. The presentation can then be viewed and the screens will display as normal, including:

• Playing any audio and animations that they may contain
• Any popups and jumps within the Program or to the internet will be functional
• The navigation icons at the bottom of the screen (search, replay, deeper level, back, next, menu and contents) will function as normal.
  

The presentation play list is created using the Presentation Editor. The text in the editor is in English except for the list of screens; these are in the language of the folder from which the presentation editor is being run. The presentation is viewed using the Presentation Player. The presentation can be displayed in a number of languages (see below for details).

The recommended system requirements for the Presentation Tool are the same as for the Program.
