Old Content Capture Instructions
Use this method for capturing content objects while you're away from an internet connection.
[edit] Capturing Content Objects (COs)
- Open the presentation in its native application (PowerPoint or Keynote).
- Open the screen capture tool of your choice.
- Select the content object you wish to capture within the presentation and save it as a .jpg file. You’ll want to rename the saved file. The file name should look like this: 12_NetworkDiagram.jpg - this would be an image of a network diagram that occurred on slide 12 or page 12 of a document. If you have multiple COs for a single slide, just make sure that the filename text is different. For example, a second CO on slide 12 would be: 12_buffoon.jpg and its replacement would be 12R_buffoon.jpg.
- To summarize the naming convention for COs:
- CO, slide 3 - 3_horse.jpg
- multiple COs, slide 4 - 4_cowboyBucket.jpg; 4_cowgirl.jpg
- 4. Capture as many objects as you’d like at a time and save them in the same folder as the slide images from the converted presentation.
[edit] Uploading a set of COs to the Tool
Once you have a folder of CO images, you can start the upload process.
- Compress or Zip the folder containing the images you’d like to upload. Remember, you should have one folder for each material item (a presentation). Its contents should contain all of the COs you wish to upload.
- Open the tool and select the course and the material with which you want to work.
- Select "Add Content Objects" and then go to the "Bulk upload" and click "Browse."
- Choose the zipped file of COs and then click "upload."
