SlideShare

This was an interesting task, recording the audio was tedious due to a quiet microphone on my laptop and converting the file (recorded in WMA) required more effort than I would have liked. I think that I liked the process of using a voicethread more, as I think you would still be able to do much the same and more with a Voicethread.
This couldbe useful for posting ppts used in a class to the web for students to revise, with verbal explanations of what each slide means, much like being retaught.

  1. Hi David
    I agree!I had so many dramas with slideshare not letting me log in repeatedly then not showing my embedded video so then i had to find another presentation. By the time i got to the audio part and was having problems with the mike I decided to abandon the project as I felt I was wasting too much time. Straight afterwards i used VoiceThread and was so impressed with how much more user friendly the site was and also felt the site looked better, friendlier somehow!
    I suppose the applications while similar have different uses, you could save each slide as jpeg and do a Voicethread presentation but i imagine Slideshare would be easier once you have the hang of it. And perhaps if you invested in better hardware (which I was not prepared to do!).
    cheers
