Abstract

A recent university video use and needs survey indicated that faculty and students need and want more understanding of narrated slide or multi-media tools for presentations and assignments. This presentation will provide an overview of how several faculty have used an online multi-media presentation and collaboration tool to enhance teaching and learning. Tool features and strengths, as well as pros and cons will be featured. Strategies for using this tool to establish course community and faculty presence as well as for student individual and group assignments will be described. Techniques for integrating presentations in the online course environment and successfully facilitating student assignment completion will be demonstrated. Samples of instructor and student presentations as well as support guides will be provided through the presentation website.
