Final Conference

​

Large International conferences

Goal – international public speaking, international listening, cultural competency, networking

 

The last session will be one  large virtual conferences hosted on a weekend that will take place in May.

​

Video Presentation of Poster

Practice for international public speaking. Because not all groups will be presenting at the conferences we ask that all presentations to be video recorded and uploaded for distribution. You need to work with your group to edit into one presentation.

Here is a suggestion for making the video:

​

Using Quick time player

It should work with whatever computer has QuickTime Player.

Open QuickTime Player

Click "File" -> "New Movie Recording" and resize the window to one corner of your screen. This is so your face will be seen. No need to press record here.

Click "View -> Float on Top"

Open up your powerpoint presentation and adjust it so the slides and your face can both be seen

Click "File" -> "New Screen Recording"

On the arrow next to the record button, select "Internal Microphone"

Click record button to begin recording.

Follow pop-up instructions to begin and end recording

Save entire video recording

​

​

Powerpoint Presentation

This powerpoint presentation is the baseline for your video presentation and consist of the elements of the poster.

​

  • Power point presentations and videos are due two weeks before the conferences.

  • Please drop off the to the website two weekends before the conferences so the moderators have time to review. 

  • Please

    • Drop off your poster on the link that is shared with you by the sNSL.

    • Only one file per group

    • Create a folder for your group and indicate your group number

  • Please note topic, groups number and names of students on the first slide. 

  • Note that only selected groups will be presenting at the conference and files are shared so groups can view the other groups’ work.

    • The presenting groups will be contacted by the program a few days before the conferences.

​

The national social leaders will welcome the incoming travel students in a brief welcoming remark on day 2 (5-10 min).
