I was looking to see what Digital Commons (http://digitalcommons.psu.edu/) here at Penn State offers for support and tutorials for Adobe Presenter and found an interesting and useful link to a demo of Presenter on YouTube (http://youtube.com).
I was impressed so I typed "Adobe Presenter" in the YouTube search and several more very good introduction sessions and tutorials were listed. All for free!!

Also several good videos came up just focusing developing better more effective presentation skills for delivery via the Internet.

Worth a look. All the sections are short and to the point.
