Overview of Presentation Media
This interactive website training program for the Volunteer Outreach
Program of the Society for Prevention of Child Abuse is actively
geared to be used in three separate presentation forms:
- Speaker-directed presentation in auditorium for
large audience, using LCD projector
- Small group presentations using multimedia PC, for
training purposes
- CD-ROM presentation for individual or corporate use
There are two parts to this presentation:
- The corporate presentation, either in person, or by
personal use by Internet or CD-ROM. This includes the use of part #2 of
the presentation, the interactive training program.
- The interactive training program. This is found on the company
website, or on the provided CD-ROM.
The Corporate Presentation
The best example of this occurred on November 30, 1996, in the main
auditorium of the Sparkman Center. The CEO of the Society for the
Prevention of Child Abuse, Mr. Isaac Abraham, was the presenter of this
Web-based training/educational program.
This was the schedule for the presentation:
- CEO greeting of community members -- educators,
corporate representatives, political advisors, members of the
community-at-large. There were approximately 250 people in attendance.
- Introduction to the scripted Internet program, brief
explanation of techniques for starting the program on the Web. The actual
presentation of the online program is approximately 20 minutes in length.
This will be reviewed in the next part of this overview.
- Upon completion of the training program, the CEO extended an
invitation for volunteers or interest groups.
- He led a brief, 5-minute Question & Answer period.
- Four smaller group presentations were offered in small
conference rooms at Sparkman. Multimedia PCs were available for
concentrated viewing of the interactive program. These groups were to
meet for one-half hour.
- CEO invited groups to then return to main lobby for
refreshment table and general gathering. This included a table sponsored
by the S.P.C.A. that provided Volunteer Recruitment needs: forms, printed
material, and CD-ROM packages containing the interactive program.
The Interactive Training Program
The interactive training program has these main features. As it is
interactive, users may choose their own pathway through the presentation.
The corporate presentation followed the linear path of subjects, as laid
out by BoydZoo, in the programming of the software:
- Video introduction by S.P.C.A. CEO. All video shots
will be shown via switcher-link to VCR at main corporate presentations.
They are downloadable from the Internet in general use of the
program via the Web.
- Voice-over by Adele Arakawa of Channel 9 News speaks
concerning the severe need for financial donors and volunteers of all ages
and many capacities.
- There are eleven (11) 30-second candid video shots available:

The training program has one music introduction, and all sound effects are
ambient sounds found in candid video shots.
Each of the above eleven (11) sections will have not only the video spot,
but accompanying written treatment, explaining the pertinent scene. The
written portions will advise, inform, and invite the potential
volunteer/donor to come into the group.
Each of the above eleven (11) sections will have stock photos, stock
illustrations, and illustrations created by BoydZoo especially for this
program.
A final selection in the interactive training program will be a
