Educational Development

Julie came around to see me to ask about ways to get her presentation The Spell of Morpheus online. Personally I am very interested in Julie's topic and think it to be socially significant. Aside from that, it was an opportunity to work with someone confessed to be afraid of computers and creating digital content - although I did find out later that Julie has been a big time user of chat rooms...

Our concept was to record Julie giving her presentation with the transparencies she already had. I would record the audio, and photograph the projections, then we would compile the presentation using flickr for the projections and ourmedia for the audio, then bringing it together in Julie's own blog. Unfortunately the recording of the presentation didn't work. We had limited audio recording resources at the time, and all the projections were not available making the photography idea impossible.

I did go ahead and upload what pictures I did get, just to demonstrate the workability. Julie downloaded Audacity and recorded her voice, and uploaded the PowerPoint and the audio to her own ourmedia account.

We will complete the experiment when Julie gets back.
