CVCC Fall 2009 - To get started, you will need a presentation or
document.
- Go to the SlideShare web site, and login with your username and
password, or select to Sign Up for a new account.
http://www.slideshare.net - Once youve logged in, select Upload to begin uploading
presentations and/or documents.
- Click the Browse and select files button to locate your file.
Notice that the maximum file size is 100 MB and the supported
formats are listed here as well.
- Locate your file, and select Open.
- Once the file has uploaded, you will have the opportunity to
add the files details. Enter a title, tags, and description. Then
select a category and privacy options. Once youre finished, click
Publish.
- Youll receive a message that the file is being converted and
will publish shortly. You can click the here link to view the
status. Please note that sometimes this process takes a few
minutes.
- Once the file is finished publishing, youll see your
presentation listed under My Uploads. Click the presentation icon
to view the sharable presentation.
- Youll be taken to a page with your published presentation. You
can select to view the slide show from here. Youll also notice that
a transcript is automatically created at the bottom of the
page.
- Next we will create the audio clip to make our presentation a
SlideCast. If you do not have a transcript of your presentation,
you can use the one created here. Keep in mind that you may need to
make some minor modifications.
- To begin, login to Blackboard and open any Blackboard site that
youre listed in as instructor. Go to any content area in the site.
Make sure that youre in Edit View.
- Click the dropdown arrow next to Select and select Voice
Recorder. Click Go.
- Using your transcript, click the red circle on the voice
recorder to begin recording. Record your entire transcript and then
select stop when youre finished. If you mess up, you can stop and
then select the record button to record over the previous
recording.
- You can click the green arrow to preview the transcript. Once
youre happy, click the little box at the top, right-hand corner to
save the file. Select Save As, and then select .mp3 from the
dropdown options for file type. Save the file to your local
desktop.
- Once youve saved the file, you can simply exit this page
without submitting by clicking Cancel.
- Go back to SlideShare, and then select the Add mp3 audio to
create a SlideCastlink.
- Select Upload mp3 file to browse for your local audio
file.
- Locate your audio clip and select Open.
- To begin synchronizing your slides with your audio, click the
play button and then pause the audio once the audio for the first
slide is complete. You will then drag the blue mark to the location
where the audio ends, and select slide 2 to see a new blue mark.
Repeat this process until youve finished synchronizing. The
following link contains a video tutorial on how to synchronize:

- Once youve finished synchronizing your audio, click Save. Then
select Preview saved work to view the presentation with audio. If
everything looks and sounds OK, select Save & Publish. If it
doesnt sound OK, then you can return to the timeline and continue
editing.
- Select the link to View Presentation.
- There are a variety of ways to share your SlideCast. One way to
share your SlideCast in Blackboard would be to copy and paste the
URL in your site as an External Link.
Copy the URL - The second option is to select all of the Embed text and select
to Copy the text.
Select All and Copy - Go to your Blackboard site and add an item. Enter a name, and
then select to Toggle HTML code. Paste the Embed code into the text
box area. Click Submit.

shown below.
