Converting Powerpoint Slides into Youtube

Image
 I find it convenient to present videos of text for people to read rather than sending raw powerpoint files which are more difficult to open. Not many people have Microsoft Power Point, but everyone can watch Youtube videos. If you just convert Powerpoint files into video, you have the option to select the time for each interval. 5 seconds is the default. That was what I did initially. The theory is, students should be able to pause the video in order to read more of the details in the slide. This is good for students who are required to read the contents in order to pass their examinations. If it were for the public, we need to pause more for each point. So just create more slides for each point. My tactic is just to duplicate the same slides but for each point, I enlarge and turned them into bold characters. For an example watch this video:

You can use this during a class similar to an iClicker to obtain feedback on the students’ understanding and attention. You could also use it as a way to quiz your students, since the answers can be recorded with identification of each student.   1. Make sure to enable “ Polling ” in your profile settings : bostonu.zoom.us/ profile/setting   2. After creating a meeting, go to your online meeti ng menu: bostonu.zoom.us/meeti ngs   17. To get a report of the answers that individual students gave (e.g. for using it as a quiz or other grading options), go to your o nline account to “Reports” (

Solving OBS Problems

Preview Screen  I suffer from scaling issues when using OBS. Probably because I have a 4K monitor. Transform and Filters did not seem to work. The best solution could bbe the preview scaling. Use the scale to Window instead of the default, or if you have problems previewing. Learning If you want a quick tutorial, maybe go for this 30 minute tutorials.
