Camtasia Presentation Assignment

Look through your assigned department’s web site. Identify a topic that is currently on the site but not represented well (too much text) or not enough detail. This should be a topic that deserves attention and could be better presented through a visual/audio presentation.  Your final product will be a video which could be integrated into the department’s web site. Begin by selecting a topic. You may work with your partner(s) and graduate student to identify topics. Be sure that you and your group member are not covering the same topic. Once your topic is identified, create an outline for your presentation. The outline should include thumbnails for the entire presentation, and a script for speaking components.  Once you have your outline and script, build your basic presentation using PowerPoint. When possible use actual photos. If you do not have photos that directly fit your outline, locate a place holder photo and incorporate it until you can acquire a photo. 

By the beginning of next class, have your outline, script and basic presentation complete. Bring all of these items to class, so we can begin working in Camtasia. You may utilize Flickr, USDA, or the stock photos on the T: drive for your presentation until you obtain actual photos. Use the PowerPoint resources on the T drive as well to assist you.     

*Graduate students - Graduate students should also complete the assignment, but may choose to cover a topic specific to their student organization web site since they are responsible for more than one group.
