TPSS 491/711 Digital Tools for Scientific Content
Video clips have become important part of scientific communication as embedded files in PowerPoint slides, videos used for scientific equipment orientation and scientific peer communications at professional meetings. Graduate and undergraduate students can improve and expand the use of video clips in communicating scientific content with orientation on consumer grade cameras coupled with basic computer based editing skills. Students will receive orientation on the new video recording equipment and software that includes Adobe Premier Pro CC, Photoshop, PowerPoint and Encore (DVD‐authoring). Each student that takes the course will be required to deliver a Power Point presentation (5-10 min.) to the class on a topic relevant to their academic field of interest. The presentation will be recorded and each student will edit the video footage, add graphics and output files for the web and DVD authoring. Students will also be required to produce a 5 minute “how to” video on a topic, method or procedure relevant to their academic field of interest.
Prerequisites: Student must have a working knowledge on the use of Power Point and have an academic topic or area of interest that they wish to develop video content for. Students preparing video content as a submission for a competitive award are also encouraged to attend.
