Thanks for the article. I am developing a video course online this summer and have been debating how to convert the lectures to an online format. Now I am planning on using PPT slides into Camtasia Studio so I can edit my lectures and keep them on track.

Thanks you for this timely information. I have been dabbling a little with putting my lecture online so that the students have more time in the laboratory and with the information you have given, it answers a lot of questions I had about the process, particularly about how to coordinate the PPT with the lecture information.

Scott, I'm intrigued. What's important about how you deliver PowerPoint presentations? How does the delivery channel affect the student and/or the learning presentation?

I think there’s another important principle to consider, and that’s how you’re delivering your PowerPoint presentations. Do you use email? A courseware system? Something archaic, like FTP? A web page? That’s one of the challenges we’re trying to meet at Gingkotree – giving instructors the ability to deliver course materials from a variety of sources, including customer sources like PowerPoint presentations – in a single interface. It makes things much easier for both students and instructors.

jainiminhas,

You make a good point! Virtual classroom sessions can indeed be useful for real-time presentations. (I've never used WizIQ, but have used Elluminate/Collaborate and GoToMeeting… I've also heard the free Google Hangouts can be used for small classes.) The issues with virtual classroom sessions, however, are many. For one thing, they restrict students to a specific time (and in many cases, students are taking online classes precisely because their schedules are too full to be able to commit to meetings that take place on specific days at specific times). For another, configuring the necessary microphones, webcams, and software remotely can be an issue for many students. And depending on a number of variables such as the software and the number of class participants, students can be summarily "kicked out" of virtual class by the software. There is definitely a use for virtual classroom technology, but at this point it's still in its infancy in terms of replicating the rich interaction of a F2F classroom. I'll definitely look into WizIQ–perhaps it offers improvements over the software I've used!

Thanks for the tips Emily. We'll include these points in our teaching training program. But referring to your point where you have written that online students can’t ask questions in real-time, I would like to mention about WizIQ which is an online learning platform that connects educators and students through its WizIQ Virtual Classroom technology. Using WizIQ, teachers can use PowerPoint presentations for teaching in an online environment and also allow their students to ask questions in real-time through its audio, video, text chat and hand raising features.

I coudn't agree more about creating a script! It is a time saver in the end. I use screenr for my my powerpoints. It has a built in five minute limit and can be sized over my slides.

Thanks for a great article!

Our faculty have used SlideRocket. You can import PowerPoint presentations and then add audio to each slide. There is a small fee to sign up for the advanced features.

May I have permission to use the information and cite Emily and Faculty Focus on our institution blog? Thank you, Lori Austill, Idaho State University
