How to Develop Streaming Multimedia Lecture Presentations
|
By: Thomas Keefe |
Abstract
I teach undergraduates at Indiana University Southeast's School of Business - a regional IU campus. Since 1999, I have used streamed lectures in my classes that I created myself with PowerPoint. McGraw Hill has used these lectures as part of course packs for an Organizational Behavior textbook. The session is intended to show instructors how to develop their own streaming multimedia presentations that can be loaded onto a schools' server and played by students over the Internet.
Description
Whether you teach face-to-face or on-line, I would like to share with you my knowledge of how to produce streaming multimedia presentations. The session will not be highly technical; it is intended for instructors wishing to take fuller advantage of Internet technology to distribute their lectures to students. It may also be of interest to administrators and technical support persons who may wish to better understanding issues involved that face the instructors they supervise and work with. In this session I will show participants how to develop their own streaming multimedia presentations using Microsoft's PowerPoint software. A sample presentation prepared at the session will contain, text, audio, video and graphic content. I will detail necessary software & hardware, and go through the process of preparing material, narrating text presentations, incorporating video and graphic content. Finished products may be compressed for delivery via CD-ROM's or streamed over the Internet. To take full advantage of the session, participants should have basic familiarity with Windows and PowerPoint. This hands-on session will not deal with pedagogy. Participants wishing to more fully understand how to effectively use streaming lectures as part of face-to-face instruction are encouraged to attend the lecture presentation by the author in Track 1.
