Slideshow Collections for Instructional Use
We are collecting and making available slideshows for reading at your own pace and reuse in your presentations. The preferred format is reStructuredText/S5 since it can be easily edited without special software and converted into various delivery formats. Where possible, speaker notes are included to give the slides meaning without an audio overlay.
Advice on how to get started giving screencasts, why you might want to do it and how to establish your recording studio. Then we move into planning your screencast and a few tips on using some presentation tools.
Now that you have a studio and a plan, we cover how to begin and conclude your screencast and a bit about postprocessing. Then we cover your behavior during your talk and how to get your screencast distributed to others.
