- W2117821692 abstract "This paper describes how comprehensive web sites (online study guides) are being used as a tool to deliver course material. Such a delivery tool may not be needed for all courses, but feedback from students suggests that web pages provide improved delivery of course material. Students report that having a complete site with all course material presented in hierarchical order with links to related internal and external material gives the course more structure and that the material is more convenient to access. Although the specific software tool used to create these study guides is held in high regard, the intent is to present the value of online study guides as a teaching tool rather than the merits of a specific program. Other educators may prefer to use a different program to develop study guides. While teaching an online class, a new software tool was used to facilitate the development of a web site containing the course material. The objective was to provide additional instruction and reference material to compensate for not being with the students in person. Although the students had the textbook and recorded lectures with accompanying slides (PowerPoint), an additional resource seemed to be needed to guide them through the course material. Similar web sites were later developed for three traditional classroom courses. In these classes, the course material web sites were called online study guides. A study guide falls between a textbook and lecture slides in terms of the level of detail to the material presented. Say Hello To PowerPoint In the pre-digital, olden days of public speaking, audiences mostly looked at the speaker who used their words, voice inflection, gestures and an occasional visual aid to make their points. If the audience were students in a classroom, then they busily took notes trying to catch every important point that might appear on an exam. Now, audiences often stare at images projected onto a white screen and take minimal notes. This is because two technologies emerged some twenty years ago that significantly impacted the craft of public speaking. The impact soon affected the delivery of classroom lectures and the overall practice of teaching. The technology is so compelling that things will never go back to how they were before. These technologies are none other than the software for producing and displaying slides and data projectors to display the slides for all to view. Since the slides are easily printed or distributed electronically, lecture slides have often become a primary media for course material distribution. This paper makes the claim that PowerPoint slides, which are perfectly suited for presentations at conferences and business meetings, might be suboptimal to web pages for course material delivery. In 1987, Microsoft purchased the software rights to a product called Presenter that was developed by Forethought Inc. and renamed it PowerPoint. Initially, PowerPoint files were sent to third party companies, which for a fee produced 35mm slides for use with a slide projector. However, this was short lived as addressable liquid crystal display (LCD) projectors were simultaneously being developed. In 1988, Panasonic and Samsung purchased licenses to technology allowing them mass produce LCD data projectors.(Hewitt, 2008) In the 1990s, PowerPoint became very popular; and data projectors and instructor computers were being installed in as many classrooms as budgets would allow. PowerPoint is the standard by which other slide presentation software is measured. The term “PowerPoint” has become not only the name of Microsoft's product, but also a generic label for slide presentation software. The subject matter in this paper is slide presentation software – not Microsoft's PowerPoint product. The observations presented here apply equally to OpenOffice Impress, Prezi, Apple Keynote, Google Docs Presentation or any other slide presentation software." @default.
