Presentations and Web Based Training BCS 312 Seneca College, Newnham Campus, Toronto, Canada

For the sections taught by Prof. Tim Richardson   During the  Sept - Dec 2001term

Before we begin, you should review this article - it justifies the importance of what we will be doing the next 3 1/2 months.  "We remember:  10% of what we read  20% of what we hear  30% of what we see  50% of what we both see and hear"

When we use the computers in the lab, most of the programs we need will be installed - if you are working from home, here are some of the programs you will need - if you do not have them installed on your PC.

What we are going to do the first week.

In class Sept 10th, we also looked at this powerpoint and discussed some of the weakness of how the words were arranged, and how the animation could have been improved.

What you need to do for Tasks Week 2
1. get the file
2. get the software to make the conversions
3. have the software to view the conversions
4. do the conversions
5. upload it to your site
6. provide links so the prof can see it

You can download the 'phone technique' presentation (this is the one you messed around with in class on Monday and noted in the screen capture above) or create your own 5 slide presentation.

You will be required to buy a cheap little microphone so you can use it in class. For some of you that have not yet bought microphones, you can still add sound by getting any sound file off the net that you might already have in .midi or .wav format and use that.
 

For this assignment to work , you must first have Real Producer on your PC, you can download this from Prof. O'Neill's site (seen in the screen capture below). If you are doing this at home, you might want to download it and leave it on your PC so you could use it later.

.
Some students who convert the powerpoint presentation into Real Player, may have trouble viewing this in Netscape, so make sure you try it in I.E. first.
 

For this assignment to work , you also have to Windows Media Encoder in order to be able to convert the files from Real Player into other formats such as Windows Media Player - again, you can download this from Prof. O'Neill's site (seen in the screen below)

.
 

If you are doing this at school, the software Real Producer and Windows Media Encoder is already loaded on the PCs in the lab 4154B. The path to find where this is located is seen in the screen capture to the left.

.
If you watch the videos on Prof. O'Neill's site,(noted above) they will give you the step by step instructions as to what you need to know for this process. If you watch these videos in the labs at Seneca, you'll need headphones in order to be able to hear the content. If you watch them at home, turn your speakers on.
