Using Real Presenter

Real Presenter is a fairly simple software package to use.  Successfully building a web based streaming presentation is a 5 step process.

     

1

 Request Access to a Streaming Media Server Before you begin developing streaming presentations, you need to have special access to a server that will deliver your content to users all over the world.  Without this access, your content cannot be published onto your website.

To request access, please fill out this application form.  The Instructional Technology coordinator will contact you with information regarding the status of your account (this is usually accomplished within 48 hours).
     
2 Prepare your presentation There are two types of presentations that you may create using Real Presenter - PowerPoint Presentations and Web Tour Presentations.

If you will be creating a PowerPoint presentation, you will need to obtain a copy of your slides.  If possible, put the presentation on a floppy disk or ZIP disk so that you can easily bring it over to Instructional Technology Services.

If you will be creating a Web Tour presentation, come up with a listing of all the websites you would like to include in your tour.
     
3 Record your voice overlay (PowerPoint or Web Tour) Now you must record your captions in time with the presentation.  To do this, please make and appointment to visit Instructional Technology Services.

The processes for creating both types of presentations are similar, but there are key differences in both procedures.  Please click either "PowerPoint" or "Web Tour" to continue.
     
4 Publish your presentation (TofuPup or Facweb) Once you have recorded your presentation, you must publish it to your network account.  Click on the name of the server you wish to publish to in the left cell to learn how to accomplish this. 

Note:  unless told otherwise, you will probably be publishing to TofuPup.
     
5 Link your presentation from a web page (TofuPup or Facweb) Finally, you must provide a link from your homepage to your presentation.  Follow the link to the left to go through a step-by-step tutorial on how to do this correctly.  

Note:  unless told otherwise, you will probably be linking to a resource located on TofuPup.
     

That's pretty much all you need to do in order to have fully functional streaming presentations available from your website!  If you have any additional questions, comments, or concerns, please contact the Instructional Technology Coordinator directly at kapp@tcnj.edu.
