Using Microsoft PowerPoint as A Visual Aid

The Communication Skills Center continues to offer students the opportunity to show Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, in both PC and MAC format, during their video taping session. 

To ensure the presentation can be shown, and due to the limitations of our computer system, students must save their presentation, in completed form, in one of two ways: 
 

  1. on a 100 megabyte (MB) Iomega Zip disk,

  or 

  2. in one of the student folders on the university-wide network. 
 
 

Note: If the presentation is saved on the university network, the student must bring the following information to his or her video taping appointment: 

1. The four-digit designation of the server on which the file is stored (i.e. Hs03, Cs01, Db01). The letter of the drive alone is not sufficient.

2. The student’s stu number or the name of the folder in which the file is saved (i.e. stu0000). 

3. A working password which will enable the student to log on to the university network. Note: The password cannot exceed eight characters in length.
 

Specific Instructions for Using PowerPoint on the Macintosh Computer in the CSC
 

The CSC has the ability to show only one PowerPoint presentation at any one time, so students who are thinking of incorporating PowerPoint into their video taped presentation are encouraged to schedule their appointments well in advance. 

If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of your presentation and the CSC computer system, or are planning to use other technologies during your presentation please call the CSC at 772-2186 Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. 

Questions regarding access to and/or the operation of the university servers should be directed to the university help line (772-1111).
