Free Online Instruction/Presentation Tools

Last Friday, District III of the NCCCLRA held it's winter meeting at Rockingham Community College. I did a presentation on the use of free instruction/presentation software to support library instruction and for publicity purposes. Some of the tools require a download to your computer, and others are completely web-based. Here's an expanded list of the software grouped into categories; all are free, and most allow you to include audio along with the presentation:

Screenshots, Screen Recorders: Webinaria, ZDsoft Screen Recorder, Jing

Power Point-Style Presentations: Thumbstacks , AuthorPoint Lite

Public Platforms for Power Point-Style Presentations: AuthorStream , SlideShare

Short Publicity Videos, Slideshows with Music: Animoto, SlideStory, RockYou

Co-Browsing Tools: Spreed, Share-It-Now, Vyew

Outreach and Marketing

Hello, Anybody Out There? is a summary of table discussions on outreach and marketing from the ALA Instruction Section’s Management of Instruction Committee meeting at the 2006 San Antonio Midwinter Meeting.

Do you have any novel ideas for outreach to faculty and students? Does your library have a formal outreach plan to reach faculty across the curriculum?
