Many institutions are converting to online instruction for at least the next month or so, including mine, Boston University School of Medicine. It can be intimidating to convert a typical PowerPoint lecture into an online lecture, but it’s actually pretty easy! Below are tips on how to create a PPTX with your voice recorded on slides. You can simply post your PPTX to your LMS, and voilà!

In case you are like me, and are too distractible to read all the text, I’ve created short tutorial videos on how to use your computer’s own screen capture software (I happen to use a Mac), and how to create a Zoom recording.

Zoom recording – More sophisticated, but not that hard! Plus, you can show your lovely, academic, professorial face on the recording!
