How to Get the Word Out???
I’ve batted this scenario around for a couple of days and this is what I’ve come up with for Anju with trying to keep in mind the demographics of her clientele.
Step 1: For the oral presentation, I would make a PowerPoint presentation. This would allow her to constantly be improving her seminar while keeping it somewhat consistent. Also, PowerPoint allows you to print out slides (although, most of her clientele struggle with written English, these handouts would contain important information such as diet charts, food groups, etc…that essentially have to be written out.
Step 2: I’d download Cam Studio which essentially allows you to “record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry standard AVI video files and using its build-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, band-width friendly Streaming Flash videos.
Step 3: Using Cam Studio, I’d go through the PowerPoint presentation using my slides as the video component and my narrative as the audio. Again, this will allow me to keep my presentation consistent while producing a video file.
Step 4: I’d upload my video to YouTube and the URL would be posting in my handouts for my clientele. A great thing about YouTube is that it has an interactive comment area that allows for a Q&A session between me and my clientele.
Step 5: I would make a few DVDs using either IMovie or Windows DVD (depending on what machine I have) for those clients who do not have access to the Internet.
I like the interactive component of YouTube over a static DVD and also, links to addition information and videos can be posted to keep my clients up to speed on the latest and greatestinformation that becomes available.
