jbrenner's Partial History of Florida Tech
Gulchers will like slides 2, 32, 168, and 169 of the link below.
The link is way to big to attach. Turn the volume on your computer to its highest setting when running the slide show at
http://my.fit.edu/~jbrenner/bashur/3d...
name = fltech password = brenner
A quasi table of contents is at
http://my.fit.edu/~jbrenner/bashur/3d...
name = fltech password = brenner
I intend
1) to send this to my > 3000 past students to show how Florida Tech has improved over the last 20 years;
2) to help Florida Tech recruiting at both the grad and undergrad levels;
3) to get support for some of our new research initiatives;
4) to have both Florida Tech's Development Office and our administrators use this to attract people interested in exchanging their value for our value;
5) to use Nanoflorida 2018 as a catalyst to make some improvements here at FIT;
6) to show how seemingly disparate research and teaching goals do actually have common themes (slide 171);
7) to use this to help catapult Florida Tech up in the national rankings;
8) to break this up into a set of much smaller YouTube videos to drive Internet traffic to FIT and to our department in particular;
9) to start a course incorporating more building and testing into the chemical engineering (ChE) and biomedical engineering (BME) curricula via a two credit elective wearable sensors course described on slides 161-166; and
10) to start an Honors Program at Florida Tech, as described on slide 167, including the wearable sensors course in item 9.

Both of my kids went through the Cambridge Program in middle school, but not high school.
I look forward to meeting your granddaughter.
Congratulations on a very impressive presentation.
I hope it proves fruitful.
I only had time to give it a quick once over, but hope to find time soon to give it its due.
If my plans work out I may be going into semi-retirement in your neck of the woods before too long (a year or two perhaps). If work becomes more prosperous than anticipated I may stick around here a bit longer. Things have been looking up lately.
I would be most pleased to look you up. :)
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Respectfully,

I believe your message is good so wish you god speed and success for this project.
(Non-Objectivist wording deliberate to provoke the dogmatic.)
Pardon if necessary- for the diversion, and I have not watched or gone to the sites before commenting. As for turning up the sound, I recommend loud sound when watching this vid. It is in Arabic with English sub-titles.

So I can advance the slides but the audio narrative explanation is absent.
I downloaded one file only (nanotechminorprogramhistorywithaudio2.pptx), jb. Is the sound embedded in that file?
My slide show settings have no "Type" setting at all but the rest match yours.
I guess that the programmers have some work to do.
Thanks again;^)
If you don't see the music icon and you're daring, you can try hovering your mouse over a blank spot on the slide and try right-click (control-click on a Mac) to see if you can pull it out of the background and make it visible. Libre will mark the slide as "not saved" and will ask you to save the file when you're done. Your choice. If you mess up a slide, you can always select "Edit > Undo" to fix it.
I suspect that box should have connected to a media file and it cannot find it.
I found the auto-play setting in the "Slide Transition" controls and set it to play each slide for 1 second. So it does that, but still no audio. I think there is a problem with the way this version loads Jim's file and it doesn't link correctly to the audio. The properties window when I have clicked on the question mark box shows controls for "Media Playback" but the start/end time display shows 00:00 / 00:00. (When the slideshow is "playing" the properties window shows the same thing.) That tells me that there is no media loaded.

The MSFT site says they aren't supporting the PPViewer after April 2018. Good move MSFT. Doesn't work properly, best to end support costs.
Tried searching for a fix earlier and just now again. I did not find any posts for a windows fix.
I know you are a near-perfectionist so it might never be as good as you think it could be.
I am listening to it right now.
The audio track could be run through some off the shelf software like Roxio Creator, Sonic Record Now Deluxe, or several other inexpensive audio digitizing packages and just have the audio track volume leveled. I have imported previously recorded tracks and used the editing tools to cleanup and level tracks like this with great success many times. Here are some free software pkgs available that might suffice if they allow you to load a previously recorded track and have the right editing tools... http://www.freesoundrecorder.net/top-...
That said; I am able to hear it fine, but I have a quiet environment and some high quality audio equipment integrated with my computer (high end sound card, external surround sound speakers, sub woofer etc.).

Further investigation: my PowerPoint Viewer may be a 2015 version though installed in 2017. I suspect it may have done some updates too...

O.A.
I am viewing/listening to it on a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer dated 11/30/17.
Side note: I concur on Audacity. I have used it also and found it easy and powerful.

Got ver 14.0.4754 of PPV. It loads and plays the slides with NO audio. Copyright dates indicate it is from 2010. Its the latest version on https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...
I like using Reaper Digital Audio Workstation on my multi-track sound files, but Audacity is much simpler and quite powerful. It can also render sound output in many formats (mp3, FLAC, WAV etc.) I used it to do the voice-over and music background tracks for a promo video I prepared.
