eLearning Summer Institute 2010 – Micro-Lectures Part I - PowerPoint
Micro-Lectures Part I - PowerPoint
There are a number of ways to produce a Micro-Lecture as a multimedia presentation. For this workshop you will use an essay
entitled “Building the Queensborough Community College Campus” as a storyboard and script. Your initial job will be to create a
PowerPoint presentation that contains the essay’s text and visuals.
IMPORTANT Points:
A. The first PowerPoint slide should have the Micro-Lecture title & your name
B. Each slide should have small amount of text – best in bullet form, but always containing the main points of your lecture
C. Gather multimedia elements and appropriate citation - more multimedia elements mean a better presentation
D. Each multimedia element should have a proper citation – i.e. where did you get it?
