Web Based Presentations

I have started to use YouTube and Google Video for some of my presentations. Here is the latest one.

Slideshare.net is another site that is excellent if you only want to upload a PowerPoint presentation. Here is the same presentation.

Slideshare offers one thing that the video sites do not – vector based text. You can enlarge the presentation to full screen and all the letters are still perfect. If you have graphics, those will get grainy, but PowerPoint text will remain crisp. It was also very easy to take my PowerPoint and get it online with Slideshare. I literally uploaded the PPT file. All the transitions and animations are filtered out, but everything else is there.

But I don’t think the presentation without the audio is very educational. A viewer may be able to pick up a few things using only the text from the presentation, but the real message comes from the audio. Tell me what you think.
