The Way to Absolutism: From Henry IV to Louis XIV Using the French context as our lens, we will endeavor to understand both the ultimate and proximate causes of Absolutism by transforming a typical PowerPoint™ presentation (featuring template slides filled with bullet points, small images, and excessive teleprompter text) into a more effective and more collaborative multimedia production. In order to complete our task, we will all contribute to a single VoiceThread using uploaded images, sounds, and narration. Go to http://newtrier.ed.voicethread.com and log in to see it. Your particular design assignment will force you to make choices: ask yourself, what will appear on the screen versus what will be “said” by the presenter? Our design must remain consistent throughout the entire presentation. Please make sure you adhere to the following: 1. 2. 3.
Slide font: Adobe Caslon Pro Images: must fill the entire slide (>100k in size, landscape orientation) Words: no more than two lines of text per slide. No bullet points allowed!
