After my presentation this morning on ag communications and the new media world we had an informal session with some university researchers and teachers who are actively working on ways to employ online strategies for archiving and making educational presentations available.

It’s interesting to hear a different perspective from the university side of the industry. It seems like every sector has its own challenges when it comes to sharing information publicly and online. However, there are still common concerns such as, “how much will it cost?” “can I make it private?” “will this take up too much of my time?”

I couldn’t believe the amount of money WSSA was quoted by a local production company to create a video of a presentation here. The number is almost unbelievable. One of our participants suggested putting my Flip camera on a tripod and shooting it ourselves. That’s good thinking. Doesn’t get any easier than that. The other presenters suggested using some of the software options that are out there to include your slide show.
