  How to Create/Record Presentation

  Things to consider when recording a slide show:

  1. Pronounce each word clearly

  2. Ensure the environment around you is relatively quiet with minimal background noise

  3. Check the recording and sound quality prior to recording

  Step 1: Create your PowerPoint Presentation Slides

  Step 2: Write your script for the presentation

  Note: A script is recommended to ensure that the speech is consistent and to avoid unnecessary pauses

  Step 3: Set-up the self-running slide show

  Download the “How to set-up a self-running slideshow” guide from the Rural Sociological annual meeting website: www.ruralsociology.us

  Step 4: Record your slideshow

  1. Ensure environment around you is quiet

  2. Ensure the recording quality from the microphone is good

  3. Ensure the play-back quality from the recording is good

  (remember to pause 1-2 seconds before and after each slide.)

  Step 5: Save and preview your Recording

  Volume of the narration must be consistent and synced with slide tranistion

  Step 6: Submit your self-running presentation to RSS
