Learning from the best, with material by the best, anytime, anywhere. SLIDESTAR is the web platform that pursues precisely this goal:

Every user can configure his knowledge electronically in the form of slides, video presentations or podcasts. This so-called slideware can be viewed by users or further processed. The content can be evaluated, exchanged and reused. Users can decide the extent to which their content should be visible and reusable, whether only for specifically invited people or open for everyone.

The content community platform SLIDESTAR helps professors, teachers, trainers and other experts to publish their knowledge in PowerPoint-like format or as videocasts and podcasts. Anyone can set up their own content library and publish it with personal content or in connection with the name of their organisation. The achieved ratings or usage frequency give all users feedback on how their content is assessed by others. The content is used to create a network of like-minded authors and users, to increase the exchange of lecture and presentation content.

SLIDESTAR is therefore an open content platform and community in one. The integrated indexing and retrieval procedure allows for targeted searching and use of relevant content.
