Video clips of your
presentation (60 minutes total)
1.
30 minutes presentation,
following the above template for presentation slides.
1.
Please record it yourself
using your laptop camera presenting your slides.
2.
The format of your
video should be .wmv; please use the highest quality
that your camera supports.
3.
Make sure that the
lighting of the room and the quality of microphone are acceptable.
4.
You only need to
capture the video from yourself (and your teammate; one after the other) while
you are presenting.
5.
Make sure that you
look directly at the camera during most of your presentation.
6.
You can read from your
slides from time to time while you are presenting, if necessary. When we edit
your video, we will replace such portions with the corresponding slides from
your presentation.
7.
Each teammate should use
about 15 minutes to present; you can turn in two video clips, each about 15
minutes, or one clip of 30 minute for both of you.
8.
Please practice your
presentation so that your video becomes as flawless as possible.
9.
Please dress
appropriately for your presentation. Note that mostly your face will be
recorded as you will be using your laptop camera anyway.
10.
Please go through your
video to make sure that everything looks good.
11.
If you are not
satisfied with your video, please redo. Thank you for the extra effort on this.
2.
30 minutes demo of the
software tool, demonstrating the capabilities of the software. Highlight the
pros and cons.
1.
Please record it yourself
using Microsoft Expression Studio 3.
2.
You must first download
Microsoft Expression Studio 3 (make sure it is NOT Expression Studio 2)
1.
Go to http://msdn01.e-academy.com/elms/Storefront/Home.aspx?campus=fiu_cs
2.
Log In and click on
"Software" located in the top menu
3.
Find "Expression
Studio 3" and click on it
4.
You will want to
download "Expression Studio 3 (x86) - DVD (English)". (Once again,
make sure you are clicking on Expression Studio 3 Not 2)
5.
Then add it to your
cart and download it!
6.
**If you download
using our school's internet (even through wifi on
your own laptop), it will download really fast as our school provides us with
really fast internet access
7.
Once you have downloaded
Microsoft Expression Studio 3, it will include ALL its components. The screen
recorder is called "Microsoft Expression Encoder 3 Screen Capture".
8.
If anyone needs any
help, you can give contact Christine Rodriguez who has experience with this
software.
3.
Make sure that you set
your screen capture option to record on FULL SCREEN.
4.
Make sure that the quality
of microphone on your laptop is acceptable.
5.
Make sure that you speak
clearly while you are giving the demo of the software.
6.
Highlight the pros and
cons of the product. Use Kaseya as a reference.
7.
You can read from a
script that you prepared before so that you do not make any mistakes during
your presentation.
8.
Each teammate should use
about 15 minutes to present; you can turn in two video clips, each about 15
minutes, or one clip of 30 minute for both of you.
9.
I strongly recommend that
you work together, one reading from the script and sitting close to the
microphone, the other using the mouse and keyboard to demo; you need to
practice to be in sync with each other.
10.
Please practice reading
from your script and going through different parts of the software so the video
becomes as flawless as possible.
11.
Please go through your
video to make sure that everything looks good.
12.
If you are not
satisfied with your video, please redo. Thank you for the extra effort on this.
