DocExplore is a new free open source software suite enabling the
easy creation of interactive digital presentations suitable for the

The system enables users to import scanned images of a

and video to enhance the understanding of the document, and
produce a presentation for display, either on a local computer or
on-line via the web.
To support the release of the software, we
we will be staging a free oneone-day training event on the DocExplore system. This
will provide an introduction

to build their own trial presentation using DocExplore.
