Modifying Resources for
Dissemination
• Chunking the PowerPoint presentation into
multiple smaller units
• Narrating PowerPoint slides using Camtasia
and saving in MP4 video format
• Uploading videos to YouTube
• Developing a webmix using Symbaloo to
organize the resources
Materials developed by our partners
• Each campus interpreted the assignment
differently and developed unique materials
• Similar content exists within more than one
module from differing perspectives
• Currently assessing gaps and continuing to
develop more resources
• Looking to expand with a webmix for the
Academic Literacy Skills Test (ALST)
