Upload Your LiveTalk Slides Directly Into the Course Website
For years, slides used in LiveTalks for online courses had to be emailed to the course instructional designer who would, in turn, manage the conversion and posting process. While this helped to foster communication between the couse team and their instructonal designer about the content of LiveTalks, it left a lot to be desired from a workflow perspective. It was also problematic if the instructional designer was on vacation or out sick.
We've added a tool to online courses which now lets the faculty and TAs on an online course upload the slides directly into their online course website. This new LiveTalk slides upload tool is on the LiveTalk page in your online course, and is available up to a week prior to any scheduled LiveTalk.
In addition to being able to upload up to 10 PPT or PDF files, you can also provide the LiveTalk team valuable infomation about your LiveTalk, including:
- Number of people in the studio
- Number of student presentations, if any
- Expected running time of your session
- Remote faculty or phone call-in speakers
- And more
Providing all of this information will make it much easier for the Multimedia team who provides technical support for LiveTalks.
We think this process revamp will ensure that your slides get to the right people in a timely manner and will make setting up for LiveTalks go a whole lot smoother. The deadlines for submitting your LiveTalk slides remain the same, however, so be sure to upload those slides by noon on the day of your LiveTalk!
