Slideboom Presentation

So we created a presentation in powerpoint, added our narrative, then uploaded it to slideboom so that everyone can view it through this blog. I have to admit this was the weirdest and possibly hardest assignment I have done. I hate hearing my own voice in a recording and when I talk I forget I have an accent. When I hear myself I realise its there and cringe *grin*

I looked at the presentation after Dr Wall said we could add text and with the style of presentation I was going for I felt that I did not need or want to add text. The images I used were in theory there to supplement my presentation while also giving the user a visual aid to assist them in the setting up of outlook. Looking at the presentation I think it would have been possible to do it with just text (instead of the images), but I think that people would have become word blind after a while. Add to this I think it is more effective for them to see what they will get and what they need to do.

I have to admit that I like how slideboom created the video. With the powerpoint file it retained the slide presentation format and allow the user to skip to the section they need. Combining with a presentation of this style it would allow users to go to the section they need which is extremely handy.

I think what I have gotten from this experience is that my powerpoint presentations are not as defined as I like. I am going to have to look at how I do them and figure where I can improve. I have another presentation in work tomorrow. I have created a minimal presentation and I will see how that goes and compare to find if I have just overloaded this one.

Time to sleep.
