This is a good idea but I confess my attempts to use it resulted in utter failure. ConvOERter takes an existing PowerPoint presentation and replace all proproetary content with open content so the resulting slide show can be licensed as OER. The tool automates the process, extracting all the images and searching for replacements from open image libraries (for example: Flickr CC search). It's a really awkward interface (why would you use a modal?). It then saves - well - something. In my case, it saved a bunch of XML files that I can't play as a slide show. It also failed to comple any of the image searches. But still, it's a good idea. This article is one of only a few English-language papers in this mostly German publication (120 page PDF).
