Understanding Projects and Presentations

Previous Top Next

Overview

 

An MC100 Project File consists of a one or more Presentations.  When working in the MC-100 Operator Console you will always be working within a Project.

 

A Project is simply a container for presentations. Presentations themselves contain data such as: presentation meta-data (title, presenter name, etc), media files, slides, images, slide text, transcripts, slide timings/synchronization data, etc.

 

Once a Project has been created you may add one or more presentations to it.

 

 

 

 

 

Best Practices

 

• You may add as many presentations as you like to a project, but we suggest keeping your project size to a maximum of 20 hours of video content and 1000 slides

• Do a bit of up front planning before creating projects and capturing presentations.

• Try to name name your projects with a name that indicates a top level group containing a set of related presentations

• Projects do not have to contain multiple presentations.  Feel free to create projects that contain "one off" presentations for specific topics

 

 

 

 

 

Example Naming Conventions

 

Example 1:  Semester long course named ECON 101

Project Name:

Dr. Smith - Econ 101 - Sept 2007

Presentation(s) Name:

Week 1 - Economic Fundamentals

Week 2 - Supply and Demand

Week 3 - Elasticity

etc....

Project Name:

Dr. Smith - Econ 101 - Oct 2007

Presentation(s) Name:

Week 5 - Consumer Behavior

Week 6 - Theory of the Firm

etc....

 

Tip: Projects are great for grouping course into various lectures.  In this case, ECON 101 meets weekly for 2 hours per week.  It is a Fall semester course and we decided to break up the course into one project for each month's lectures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Example 2:  Full day conference with 8 speaker sessions

Project Name:

Conference on E-Learning - Day 1 - Continental Room

Presentation(s) Name:

Jim Jones - Keynote

Mary Smith - E-Learning Trends

John Smith - Emerging Tools and Techniques

etc.

 

 

Tip: Projects are great for grouping day long conferences where the MC-100 is situated in a single conference room capturing back-to-back speaker presentations.
