Abstract
Nowadays perhaps the most widespread teaching style at the university lectures is based on slides presentation using computer and data projector. Compared to the previously used “blackboard and chalk” style, data projectors brought a substantial loss of interactivity between students and teacher into the teaching process. Students are often taking notes without even thinking what they are writing down. This can in no way develop their creative thinking. Recently the “active learning” teaching style emerged and is becoming more and more preferable. To use this style in conjunction with computer and data projector the interactive presentation system is one of the basic assumptions. Among the available open-source presentation systems supporting interaction the Classroom Presenter, developed at the University of Washington, seems to be one of the most promising. The article describes the extensions that were designed and implemented to this presentation tool at the Faculty of Informatics and Information Technologies, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava mainly to enhance the editing, import, and export possibilities of the tool.
