Presenting Online: Many of us find ourselves unprepared or out of practice for teaching, learning, and communicating online or in a digital/virtual format. Below are some resources we have found helpful for planning and even possibly recording presentations online. Many of our recommendations for face to face presentations still apply online too.
- Tipsheet for Online Presentations. A tipsheet providing an overview of best practices for online presentations, developed by JMU Communication Center consultants.
- Recording presentation online with slides. Thank you to Dr. Pat Gehrke for sharing and providing resources on Screencast-o-matic. It is FREE and we found it pretty user friendly. There is a tutorial video on how to use it produced by Dr. Gehrke. It is the second video on the page.
- Uploading a video to YouTube from your iPhone. Thank you to Dr. Anand Rao for sharing this!
- Uploading an unlisted video to YouTube. Thanks again, Dr. Rao!
- Tips for recording online videos (e.g. how to set up the light, sound, environment). Thank you to the University of Mary Washington speaking center and Dr. Gehrke for these videos.
