website bills this as a service that turns PowerPoint presentations into interactive online lessons that can then be shared with anyone. The FAQ section describes it best:
“MIX allows you to turn your PowerPoints into interactive online lessons or presentations. We install an add-in that gives you the ability to record audio, video, and handwriting, and insert interactive elements like quizzes and CK12 exercises. There’s even a screen capture tool so you can record anything on your PC. Once your presentation is ready just click “Create MIX.” We work our magic to mix in xml for an interactive document complete with analytics, and place it in the cloud.”Essentially, it is a way for educators to distribute and then interact with their presentations. These new type of presentations can be shared with students, and once they have the links, they can watch it on any and all sorts of devices — as long as they have a web browser installed. Educators can then find out who watched the presentation, and check the progress of students, all online. This new tool is clearly designed for the educations sector, but something similar could also be developed for business use later down the line. The potential is there. Those of you interested can sign up on the site above and get on the waiting list for Office Mix when it becomes available. Which should, in all probability, be very soon now.]]>

ok cool
Really nice addition in my view. As someone who knows people who teach online classes, I think this will be incredibly helpful for them. However, on a broader scope, this will be useful for businesses everywhere.
Wow! Mix sounds as though it will be an awesome new program for Office. I love everything I’ve read on it! I’m going to get on the waiting list very soon.
I know there’s no official date, but is there any rumored date or speculated guess? When you say soon, do you mean within the next couple of weeks or longer than that?
I love this! Great program (at least it looks this way). I really hope this comes out before summer. I will be using this program almost daily for my job.
