What is the best way of putting together the ultimate multi-media screencast presentation?
And then what is the best way of publishing it -- autonomously?
And then what are the best ways of allowing for consumption of that ultimate multi-media screencast presentation?
Our answer to these questions is a set of loosely coupled tools that when integrated, form a convivial environment. As ingridents, the individual tools include the following:
- XeLaTeX -- Beamer
- HeVeA -- HTML generation from LaTeX sources
- Emacs -- For multi-lingualizaton and integration
- Reveal.js -- a java script presentation framework
- impressive and pdfpc -- for pdf disposition
- plone -- A centrally driven Content Management System (CMS)
What is unique in our approach is our emphasis on conviviality of our tools as opposed to superficial ease of use.
In the end, what we can produce is best of breed.
As an example of what can be produced, consider the ByStar Digital Ecosystem presentation: http://web.by-star.net/lcnt/PLPC/180054/current/pres/PLPC-180054-pres.html
Turn on your speaker and start the presentation. Let us narrate to you our story with text, images, sound, videos, screen-casts and web pointers.
Go through it from beginning to end. Or jump through the slides, or click on the page number to get a table of content. You can of course do all of that on your phone as well. Put your car's speaker on bluetooth and enjoy the hands-off narration during your commute.
Or if you want that same presentation in pdf form for printing, go to the access page: http://www.by-star.net/PLPC/180054
and select a pdf format instead.
