Themes+and+Trends+from+Diffusion+Research

March 14, 2011 (Week 2) Valerie (Val) Mitchell-Stevens

This week we are to provide the rationale for selecting one innovation for our projects. I will be posting my rationale discussion later on today or tomorrow. I wanted to share some links if you plan to have an audio narrative to your PowerPoint presentation. I am thinking about doing this but was not certain on how to pull the written presentation and the audio narrative together. The following are the links:

[] This link is from the University of Pennsylvania in which the person put together a workshop on biomedicine.

[] This link provides a video tutorial on how to add sound narrative.

[] This is a good article on how to add the narrative with proper timing etc.

Since last week I continued doing research on collaboration tools and modified the third innovation selection. The following table reflects the 3 selected innovations, defines the features and capabilities of each one.
