Making Videos from PowerPoint Presentations


Our article on PowerPoint to video brought in a good response and two programmes have been produced with others in the pipeline.

Your lecture slides are converted directly to video, and then mixed with what you want to say about each slide. The advantage of using PowerPoint is that you remain in control of the presentation, moving forward at your own pace, with you changing slides as you would when teaching to a class. Another benefit is that the slides can then be printed within PowerPoint to form student notes of the lecture or to form a distance-learning pack.

The photographs show Robert Ellis “in action” and a distance-learning pack developed by Angela Pilkinton and incorporating a PowerPoint presentation.

If you would like to record your presentation please call me on 3932.
