Clarifying option #2 a little more:
You can also save your presentations in Presenter locally
(desktop), and select under Output Options > "zip files" - which
is not checked as a default. Once you have this zip file, you don't
need to even publish it to Connect, you can put it on most web
servers to run for you. If you go this route, there will not be any
authentication, however, you won't have answer tracking (unless the
web server is SCORM/AICC)
