web page powerpoint show

Options
I want to distribute a powerpoint show but do it via a website/web page only and not by distributing it via a MS Office ppsx

What is the easiest and cheapest way of doing this?

I can't write in code soit has to be a simple solution with very little cash outlay (because quite simply I don't have any)

    Thanks

    I thought of that but there is a link on the PP and also there are several different routes to take through the PP presentation.

    Reason I want to do this is because it's something a friend has done voluntarily in his own spare time for work to help new staff.

    I think it's a fantastic piece of work and even I, as someone who isn't in the trade/job that he does, would be able to follow this and almost instantly understand significant parts of the job role he does.

    It could potentially reduce his employers training timescale for new staff to half of what it currently stands at, and for that he wants the recognition he believes he deserves considering the significant cost savings his employer will benefit from.

    As he understands it anything he does for them which is then distributed becomes their property and he's spent well over 200 hours preparing this.

    He could just distribute is as a protected ppsx but I believe that there is a way to access the individual slides in which case his employer could simply copy it and distribute it as their own.

    He wants recognition (not money) for this work before he allows them to aquire it as their own.

    None of the work was done on a works computer it was all done on his own laptop.

    If your friend can do a PP presentation a website wont be hard for them.

    Protecting it is hard and there are so many ways around the protection it may not be worthwhile trying to.

    How much of his presentation involves material from his company?

    So why wasn't it done in works time, seems unfair?
    Wasn't he told to do it?
    If it was done in his own time he own's the copyright, maybe go down that route.

    He's the same as me, can't write code except for very basic HTML such as changing font colour etc, and has never tried building a website. We can both use any type of office application to make decent PP presentations, databases, spreadsheets etc. I learned how when I did the ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence), and Clat/Clait+ courses via a previous employer, but neither of us has ever done any formof website/web page building and don't know where to start.
    So why wasn't it done in works time, seems unfair? He did it as a project to keep boredom away after he'd had a pretty serious operation following a pretty serious illness.
    Wasn't he told to do it? No
    If it was done in his own time he own's the copyright, maybe go down that route. Thats one way of looking at it, but his contract of employment states that any work done and provided to the employer becomes their intellectual property

    not to the information within the links contained within the PP, but everything else within the PP has been created on his laptop. There are no screen shots or anything copied and pasted from his employers systems, or their website. It's all an original piece of work.

    But the information that is contained within the PP can be found within the public domain.

    So its all freely available information but he created a PP slideshow with links to it?

    Still trying to grasp what he is protecting and how much of the work is his?

    If he went to his boss and said i can cut your training costs and then show them the clip on his device, is it something they can then google and get the same content that he is using without giving him credit?

    If the presentation is online in any format then its usually quite easy to rip it off.

    Big movie companies spend a fortune on encryption and look where it gets them.
