Example Uses

Aside from general examples listed in the Intro... here are a few AuthorStream specific examples:

  • You or your students can use the rating system to provide feedback and comments to student or instructor presentations.
  • Assign students different chapters to summarize. They can create and share the presentation on their chapter with the rest of the group and each person can use the comments feature to ask questions to the summarizer. 

 

Benefits

Other than the benefits listed in the Intro... here are a few AuthorStream specific examples:

  • From the AuthorStream site, you can download and use AuthorPoint software  to turn your PPT files into Flash files. These files are smaller and much quicker to upload!
  • You can easily subscribe to the RSS feed of an individual author which means that you can easily stay up-to-date on what's happening on each of your students presentations (and they can stay up-to-date on yours!).
