Use of Interactivity in Powerpoint Unit 85 – 5/5/2014 Lecture
Inactive Features - Animation & Sound Media • Multimedia refers to content or a product that uses a combination of different forms of content. This contrasts with media that use only rudimentary computer displays such as text-only or traditional forms of printed or hand-produced material. Multimedia includes a combination of text, audio, still images, animation, video, or interactivity content forms. • Interactivity refers to a set features that are either programmed (automated) or Interactive with the environment (interactive user (mouse click or move over an object), event driven (monitoring and when it occurs a task is performed), or condition (If Then Logic branching) in order to perform predefined tasks within a presentation. • These are typical break points in your presentation that will allow you to demonstrate a particular principle or concept. • Animation vs Simulation ??
Powerpoint Animation Features • 2D and 3D animation • Bitmap and Vector graphics images MathCad Animation for Advance Mathematics : formula notation>> y = x2 for x [0,3]: right endpoints http://www2.latech.edu/~schroder/mathcd.html
Why and When to Use Animation? • Enhance the effectiveness of your message/purpose • Poor presenters use animation in place of substance. • For decoration/cute/cheesy/etc • Part of Planning State. • Part of knowing your audience, the audio visuals you will be using (computer speed/audio effects/software loaded on the PC, etc. • Is it necessary. Simple is always better in this case. • Purpose for the movement is important! • Movement on slides (any movement attracts audience attention – good and bad ) • In the flow of the presentation, when is an optimum time? • No one size answer fits all but knowing your audience helps and planning is critical. • Uses • Good for revealing complex information in stages. Makes it memorable. • Highlight the key areas, when there are many competing elements on your slide. E.g. a key process or critical component in a process flow diagram you are explaining. • Fully illustrating or demonstrating a concept from beginning to end, Narrative long form –step by step. NOTE: Best used for training applications or an online 24 hr resource.
Powerpoint is able to handle several file formats • Wav • Wmf • Avi • mpeg
Animation Steps/Process Flow • Begin with the Animation Tab ( Home\Insert\Design\Transitions\Animations\Slide Show\Review\View\Format ). Either 1. select the object or 2. default to all and let Power point assign the default options for you. I prefer option 1 to select the specifics in order to optimize and control the delivery for maximum audience impact. • Various ways to add Animation • Menu Bar (None , Appear, Fade, etc>>>>>>) • Add Item Menu Button • Start / stop timing/ Delay until some event or time has occurred (Event Driven) • Event Driven • Record feature • Order feature to reorder the animation steps as desired. • Smart Art • Object Animation is better than text animation.
Sound Steps/Process Flow • Begin with the Insert Tab ( Home\Insert\Design\Transitions\Animations\Slide Show\Review\View\Format ). Add audio button to access audio library on existing PC (normal case). Can use to bring in audio from other media sources ( a server/ I tunes library/ CD etc. ). • Royalty free music is provided by Microsoft • Various ways to add Sound Effects… *.wav file extensions. 30kb to 525 kilo bytes musical samples used. Microsoft uses Windows Media Player. • Hwd and Software. • Speakers and Sound media player • Compatibility is always a risk!!! Check your equipment and develop a back up plan just in case. A laptop, a modified presentation, etc. • Menu Bar (None , Appear, Fade, etc>>>>>>) • Add Item Menu Button • Start / stop timing/ Delay until some event or time has occurred (Event Driven) • Event Driven • Record feature • Order feature to reorder the animation steps as desired. • Playback Control menu • Make sure you media player and sound are tested before. Rehearsal and practice make perfect in this case.…..
Video /Multmedia Steps/Process Flow • Begin with the Insert Tab ( Home\Insert\Design\Transitions\Animations\Slide Show\Review\View\Format ). Add Video button to access audio library on existing PC (normal case).
