Slip and Slidecasting
the basics of slidecasting
TCLC Summer Camp 2009

2. Why Slidecast?
- Explain with visuals & audio
- Easier to create & edit than a
screencast (which is a video
capture of your computer
screen with voice-over)
- In both the slide file and the
audio file, you can edit a
small section without having
to re-create the whole thing
- Embed on your website so

3. You will need
- A Powerpoint,
Keynote, or PDF file
- An MP3 audio file
- An account on
Slideshare.net
- A sense of
adventure!

4. Creating the MP3
- Audacity is a freely
download-able
audio editor
- To create an MP3,
you will also need to
download LAME
- LAME will allow you
to export your audio
file from Audacity to
the MP3 format

5. Uploading and Sharing
- In Slideshare.net, upload your slides
and audio file
- Sync what audio goes with each
slide
- Share via a link or post a clip on
your library’s website

6. The Return on
Investment
- Your first slidecast will take
the longest to create
- The set-up and the
acclimation to the new tools
takes time
- After you’ve done one or two,
you’ll be able to easily
maintain and create new
content
- The payoff is sweet!
