VIRTUAL PRESENTATION

If you are unable to give your talk in person, IJSSE 2014 offers the option to make a virtual presentation. Your paper will be scheduled for presentation. At your paper’s presentation time, we will “play” your presentation and, optionally, set up a question and answer session afterwards.

What is a Virtual Presentation

You create a virtual presentation by creating a self-running slide show that includes a voice narration. Most people find PowerPoint to be a convenient software tool they can use to create their presentation, but you are welcome to use other tools, such as a Shockwave embedded within an HTML file.

PowerPoint includes tools for recording your voice for each slide and then advancing to the next slide at the end of each narration. If you are more technically inclined, you can create more advanced presentations using other tools, such as Producer for PowerPoint, a free tool offered by Microsoft.

Good Quality Recording

The aspect that is not as obvious is that you need to record your voice using a good quality microphone in a quiet setting. Ideally, have someone from your Audio Visual department set you up with a high quality lavaliere microphone. If you use slide animation, the result can be very interesting.

Scheduling

Your total presentation time should be about 10-12 minutes since listening to a computer talk is more tiring than listening to a person. We can schedule a “live” question and answer session to follow your presentation if you are willing to be at your computer (using Skype) or telephone following the presentation. Following your presentation, we will call you via Skype, either to your computer (for best sound quality) or your local telephone number, if you choose to take part in such a question and answer session.
