In Fall 2013, the new聽UHM LIS Web聽Team captain, assessed how her fellow聽LIS students were being offered information and decided to create聽an official Web Team YouTube channel聽in order to reach students more effectively. With busy schedules, varying class times and families, it was difficult to set up dates for face-to-face workshops.
As a result, this YouTube channel has enabled聽the聽Web Team to not only reach fellow students in the LIS program but also thousands of people around the world. Although the majority of these videos were created to teach technical skills which would compliment 聽the LIS curriculum, there are also videos which answer聽various common technical questions聽as well as general LIS student questions.
However, with聽all the great content being offered on this channel, there is one video that was posted in September 2013聽which聽has received over 25,600 hits and this number is growing daily!
This tutorial (as seen below)聽specifically addresses the simple task of how to embed a video into a PowerPoint slide using a Mac, and was born out of the frustration with proprietary restraints for聽Microsoft software features聽as used on Mac products.
We in the UHM LIS Web Team are excited to be able to rescue so many presentations while at the same time promoting our small student group to thousands of people throughout the world.
