during the week
Thur. Dec. 13, 20 and Thur. Jan 10, 17

Presenters: Norman Coombs and Marisol Miranda - Both from EASI

Yes we start with 2 Webinars in December and then finish the series in 
2013. This is for faculty and for adaptive specialists who do not have 
skills in using multimedia authoring tools yet would like to be able to 
create multimedia that is accessible and is simple to create.

It is part of the EASI fee-based Webinars. There are scholarships available!!
EASI Annual Members have free access to this and should register from the 
special page for members.
Note this series involves your doing hands-on work....learning by doing!!!

Multimedia presentations can be created with expensive and sophisticated 
equipment and applications. EASI likes to demonstrate ways to produce 
quality output and do so mainly using tools you already use or tools that 
rely on wizards and interfaces that are friendly and similar to other 
applications you already know. Each Webinar will both demonstrate 
techniques and will expect participants to open another window and actually 
make it a hands-on activity.

This series will start by using PowerPoint and adding narration to it. It 
will also acquaint you with a tool that simplifies listening to spoken 
audio and create a transcript of it. The series will demonstrate how to 
take the Narrated PowerPoint with its transcription and using the Lecshare 
wizard create both a captioned sequence of Webpages with audio and a 
captioned movie. Third, it will start with these same ingredients and 
create a professional captioned movie using Camtasia. The Webinar will 
require only the trial version of Camtasia and will not go into its full 
potential.

  Week 1 Dec. 13: Narrated PowerPoint and Express Scribe:
The presenter will both demonstrate how to narrate a PowerPoint and provide 
time for Webinar participants to actually make a narrated PowerPoint.
The Webinar will also introduce Express Scribe which is a simple 
application that facilitates listening to spoken audio and then 
transcribing it.

  Week 2 Dec. 20: Introducing the Lecshare Pro Wizard :
The presentation will demonstrate using this wizard to transform a 
PowerPoint into both a sequence of captioned multimedia Web pages and also 
a captioned movie based on that same PowerPoint.
Participants will follow the presentation in a second window and actually 
create what is being described.

  Week 3 Jan. 10: Introducing Camtasia:
The presentation will demonstrate importing the previous PowerPoint, audio 
and transcription and produce a professional quality captioned movie. (It 
will not utilize the other rich and powerful features in Camtasia.
Again, participants will follow the presentation and create a finished 
movie during the Webinar.

Week 4 Jan 17: will be an open discussion among the participants
Participants can ask questions; share experiences and make comments. This 
Webinar's purpose is to give everyone an opportunity to ask for help and be 
sure they actually were able to do the hands-on work.
  Note: The series assumes participants already have access to PowerPoint 
or something similar. Participants will need to download demonstration 
versions of these 3 applications:
Express Scribe
Lecshare Pro
Camtasia

People who register will get links for these 3 software applications plus 
other materials to assist each person in actually using the hands-on 
Webinars to produce quality multimedia.
