The Promethean ActivInspire software is a popular interactive whiteboard platform used in many educational settings. However, sharing content created within ActivInspire can sometimes be a challenge. This is where the "Share Mypromethean" Chrome extension aims to simplify the process. This review will examine its functionality, ease of use, and overall effectiveness.

Functionality and Ease of Use

The Share Mypromethean extension promises to streamline the sharing of ActivInspire files (.flipchart) directly from a Chrome browser. Its core function involves generating a shareable link to the designated .flipchart file. This link then allows others to access and view the file, potentially without requiring them to have ActivInspire installed, depending on the chosen sharing method.

The extension itself appears straightforward to install and use. Users should expect a simple interface with clear instructions. The process of selecting a file and generating a link typically involves minimal clicks.

Effectiveness and Limitations

The effectiveness of Share Mypromethean hinges on several factors. While the extension successfully generates shareable links, the actual viewing experience for recipients will vary. The extension may support different viewing methods: an embedded player within a web browser or a downloadable file. The latter option may require the recipients to have ActivInspire installed for optimal viewing.

There are limitations to consider. The extension's dependence on the underlying platform, ActivInspire, means that any issues with the software itself could impact the functionality of the extension. The reliability of the generated link and the security of the shared content are also important considerations that need to be reviewed independently.

Conclusion

The Share Mypromethean Chrome extension offers a potentially convenient solution for sharing ActivInspire files. Its simplicity makes it an attractive option for users seeking a quick and easy way to share their work. However, prospective users should be aware of the potential limitations related to the viewing experience and the underlying dependencies on the ActivInspire software. A thorough evaluation of its performance and suitability should be carried out before widespread implementation. Further independent testing is recommended to assess its reliability and security features thoroughly.
