The visual presentation must include a 4-6 minute recorded Narrated PowerPoint presentation. A Narrated
PowerPoint includes a PowerPoint that allows the presenter to narrate during the presentation. Your face must be
present in the video as you narrate your PowerPoint. Be creative with your presentations. It is recommended
that you use Kaltura to create your Narrated PowerPoint. Please click on the link below to explore how to use
Kaltura. If you are not comfortable with Kaltura, you must use a technology medium that allows you to present
with a visual representation and capture your PowerPoint, your face, and audio.
When submitting your presentation, you must submit the PowerPoint you created as well as the URL link to your
video. You must submit a link. You may NOT submit the presentation in any other format. It may be a link
to Kaltura, Loom, YouTube, Screencast-O-Matic, or another online video creation program of your choice. The
instructor cannot provide technical assistance for your video creation, but you may find many online tools by
searching phrases such as “How to record a video using [Kaltura, Loom, YouTube, Screencast-O-Matic, etc.].” or
“How to create a link to a recorded video?”
Helpful hints and expectations:
• Be sure you are professionally dressed and use an appropriate background.
• Do not read directly from your PowerPoint in the video, but communicate the most significant ideas in a
format as if you were presenting, teaching, or lecturing to an audience.
• You may use notes, but maintain eye contact with the camera as you would an audience.
• Your face must be visible as you speak.
• Use the created PowerPoint recorded as a screen-capture and ensure that your face is also visible on the
screen along with the screen-capture.
• Test the link yourself or have someone else test it before you submit it. A common error is that the link does
not work for the instructor to see your presentation. Another common error is that the student submits the
wrong web address altogether.
• Be sure to upload the created PowerPoint to the assignment submission link.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
