I registered with BeeWiser, but I did not get a confirmation e-mail. What shall I do?

First, we would like to apologise for this inconvenience. Please, use the feedback form and describe your problem. We will activate your account manually.

I loaded a PPT file to BeeWiser, but it fails to convert identically. Some images are not in proper place. Why?

In general, this should not happen. But no conversion tool is perfect, so exceptionally this may happen. Mostly it is caused by using a non-standard format or font. This portal supports all fonts, which are supported by the Open Office editor. If there are any errors in the conversion though, it can be corrected easily in the editor within a few minutes.

I would like to delete the presentation from my account. How do I do that?

It is easy. In the list of all trainings just place your mouse on the “Action” button and choose the “Delete” operation.

How long does it take to create a training or a test?

It depends from the quantity of material you wish to put into the training/test. Creating a larger presentation with more data, graphic, voiceovers, such as for distance education or a training presentation for employees of corporations can take up to three or four weeks. The greatest benefit of BeeWiser is that you can start creating right after registration, free of charge. You do not have to wait till some department implements the system into your computer.

BeeWiser has unique interactive capacity, which allows you to create complex presentations, simulations and other situations in education. It is a robust media platform for corporate presentations and development programmes. It supports most graphic, sound, video formats and it automatically optimises any multimedia from third party applications.

I have all my education materials in Powerpoint presentations. Can I integrate them into the BeeWiser environment?

Yes, PPT files can be imported and converted in BeeWiser. It is very easy and it takes only a couple of minutes. BeeWiser supports Powerpoint imports in two ways:

  • Import 1:1, does not maintain editability of the individual elements and slides
  • Import which maintains editability of the texts, images and simple elements.

Animations and inserted Excel leaves and other MS Office objects are not currently supported.

I am going to upload the first PPT file into Bee Wiser. Is there something you can recommend or something I should avoid?

BeeWiser does much more than just loading a PPT file. Whereas the other systems just load screenshots of the PPT slides, BeeWiser converts them visually to allow their further editing in BeeWiser. Though we keep improving conversion of PPT files into the BeeWiser environment, it is possible you may find imperfections in the PPT file (inconsistency of format, text, image position…). All these problems can be easily tweaked in the slide editor. The conversion currently supports these object types:

  • Inserted objects Office (OLE) such as as leaves or graphs in Excel
  • Powerpoint animations

Can I load more than one file at the same time?

Yes. You can load more then one file at the same time.

Is BeeWiser safe?

Yes, we have devoted a lot of attention to security. beeWiser represents a secure environment for your data and it has a user interface, which can be monitored and which allows evaluation and certification.

I would like to send my friends a link to my training to make it accessible for them. Is it possible?

It is possible. You can do so by adjusting the sharing rights. You can set the object reading rights for your friends only. In case of training, you can apply the attribute “Premium content”. This means, that the training will be accessible only with a special code, which can be generated from the system and sent to the users you want.
