Audiovisuals

This section contains downloadable audiovisual presentations.

Instructions for use

For the time being, each presentation has two component files: one is the slide presentation (extension .ppt), the other is a PDF-file that contains the text that goes with the slides.  (At a later point in time, I hope to record the text and integrate it into the slide presentation.) Unless one has facilities for displaying the PDF-file and running the PowerPoint presentation mode on-screen at the same time, it is easiest to read the notes from a paper copy while running the PowerPoint on the computer.

In the text file, little black arrows (or triangles) indicate points where the viewer needs to click the left mouse button. (The text also indicates the number of the slide in the presentation.) The most convenient way of viewing the presentation is by clicking the “slide show” button on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen. In this mode, the presentation uses the full screen and the mouse clicks will advance the show to the next slide or activate animations. If viewed in the normal mode, for navigating from one slide to another one has to click either on it either in the outline window or use the toolbar at the bottom; to view animations on a slide one clicks anywhere on the slide itself. (This is less convenient since one cannot see ahead of time whether a slide has animation or not; however, it allows one to move backward as well as forward in the slide show.) Note that your browser may require you to give permission to show blocked content. (You may have to use Internet Explorer for the “slide show” view and animations to work.)

Happy viewing!
