Chapter 5 Discussion Board

2. IF YOU CAN WATCH VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE,
WHY WOULD YOU USE SLIDESHARE?
• SLIDESHARE IS KNOWN FOR SHARING PRESENTATIONS, AND THE CONVENIENCE OF IT.
• SLIDESHARE NOW OFFERS THE OPTION OF INFUSES YOUTUBE VIDEOS IN THE PRESENTATIONS FOR
RELATABILITY
• YOU CAN CREATE A PRESENTATION WITH MANY SLIDES FROM THE COMPANY AND THEN EMBED VIDEOS
FROM YOUTUBE INTO THE PRESENTATION THAT GO ALONG WITH WHAT YOU ARE PRESENTING.
• IF YOU WERE TO ADD YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO THE SLIDESHARE PRESENTATION IT WOULD MAKE IT EASIER
FOR THE PRESENTER BY HAVING ALL THE MATERIALS IN ONE PLACE

3. WHAT FEATURES DOES A SLIDE
PRESENTATION HAVE THAT MAKES IT MORE
CONVENIENT THAN A VIDEO?
• A SLIDE PRESENTATION ALLOWS THE PRESENTER AND THE VIEWER TO GO AT THEIR OWN PACE
• IN A VIDEO IT IS SOMETIMES HARD TO KEEP UP WITH AND THE PRESENTER CANT TALK DURING VIDEOS
BECAUSE IT TAKES AWAY THE ATTENTION FROM THE VIDEO
• SLIDES ARE VERY INTERACTIVE AND ALLOWS THE PRESENTER AND VIEWER TO CONNECT ON A MORE
INTIMATE LEVEL

4. ARE THERE SITUATIONS WHEN A VIDEO IS
MORE HELPFUL?
• VIDEOS ARE HELPFUL FOR TUTORIALS, TRAINING, EXAMPLES AND STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS
• SOME VIEWERS LEARN BEST BUY VISUALS AND VIDEOS HELP WITH THAT
• VIDEOS ARE MORE PROMINENT TO KEEPING THE VIEWERS ATTENTION
• VIDEOS HELP GIVE THE VIEWERS A VISION OF WHAT IS GOING ON

5. WHY NOT JUST POST A VIDEO OF THE
PRESENTATION TO A SITE LIKE YOUTUBE?
• COMPANIES MAY WANT TO KEEP THAT INFORMATION PRIVATE AND NOT POST THEIR INFORMATION ON A
PUBLIC SITE, EVEN IF THEY MAKE THE VIDEO PRIVATE IT IS STILL ONLINE ON A SITE THAT THEY CANT
CONTROL
• YOUTUBE IS A GREAT SITE FOR MANY THINGS, BUT PRIVACY IS NOT ONE OF THEM
• BUSINESSES LIKE TO KEEP THEIR INFORMATION PRIVATE SO COMPETITORS CANT SEE WHAT IS GOING ON
FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

6. DESCRIBE 2 SITUATIONS WHERE VIEWING
A SLIDE PRESENTATION WOULD BE BETTER
THAN VIEWING A VIDEO
• SAY A COMPANY WAS BRINGING IN A GUEST
SPEAKER TO TALK ABOUT CERTAIN ETIQUETTE.
YOU WOULDN’T WANT TO PLAY VIDEOS WHILE
THE SPEAKER IS SPEAKING AND YOU WANT THE
SPEAKER TO CREATE AN IMAGE IN THEIR HEADS
AND ALLOW THE LISTENERS TO PORTRAY THEIR
OWN VISUALS. ALSO YOU WANT THE SPEAKER TO
BE THE MAIN FOCUS, NOT A VIDEO.
• GRAPHIC DESIGNERS HAVE A SPECIFIC JOB. THEY
ARE TOLD TO CREATE NEW IDEAS AND LOGOS.
SAYING DURING A MARKETING MEETING THE
MANAGER SAYS SHE NEEDS ALL FOUR DESIGNERS
TO CREATE A NEW LOGO THAT REPRESENTS THE
FOUR TOPICS SHE USED IN THE PRESENTATION. SHE
WOULDN’T WANT TO GIVE A VISUAL BECAUSE THE
DESIGNERS NEED TO CREATE ONE OF THEIR OWN
AND NOT BE LEAD BY ANY EXAMPLES

7. DESCRIBE 2 SITUATIONS WHERE A VIDEO
WOULD BE BETTER THAN A SLIDE
PRESENTATION
• SAY A COMPANY IS IN TRAINING ON HOW TO
LEARN THE NEW APPLE/SAMSUNG PAY. NOT
EVERYONE KNOWS HOW THAT WORKS OR WHAT
THAT EVEN MEANS. IF THERE WAS A YOUTUBE
VIDEO JUST DEMONSTRATING A CUSTOMER AND
A CASHIER EXCHANGING THE USE OF THAT NEW
TECHNOLOGY IT WOULD GIVE THE CASHIERS A
VISUAL ON HOW TO HELP THEM IF THAT IS WHAT
THEY WANT TO USE.
• CHICK FIL-A DOES A GREAT JOB OF ADDING
VIDEOS INTO THEIR TRAINING. IT HELPS GET THE
POINT ACROSS. THE VIDEOS HELP PORTRAY THE
EMOTION THEY ARE TRYING TO GET THE
EMPLOYEES TO FEEL AND TO UNDERSTAND. YOU
CANT MAKE A PERSON FEEL SOMETHING BY
TELLING THEM TO, YOU HAVE TO SHOW THEM
SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM FEEL THAT EMOTION.
