For Students with Disabilities

Students with hearing disabilities who benefit from use of an interpreter at their educational institution should communicate their presentation through American (ASL) or International (ISL) Sign Language on camera with the assistance of an interpreter who will voice the presentation off camera. Please note, only the student presenter and the poster should be visible in the supporting video presentation.

If you require other accommodations for your participation, please contact us.

Every presentation should be made using PowerPoint, which is available through iSPARTAN (https://ispartan.uncg.edu/apps/)

Performances

• Materials: Record a video of your performance using the method of your choice. The video can be recorded using a camera or smartphone and uploaded to YouTube. When filming, adjust the camera view so that both you and your subject materials are captured in the shot at all times. Please be sure that the video is not zooming just on your face, zooming on portions of the poster, or alternating between you and the poster.
• Presentation: Embed the video of your performance into a PowerPoint. Microsoft has a useful guide to embedding video in PowerPoint presentations here. Once your PowerPoint is ready, record a narration explaining your research or project. For guidance, Microsoft has a useful step-by-step guide to recording a presentation with narration.

• Presentation: Once your PowerPoint is ready, record a narration explaining your research or project. For guidance, Microsoft has a useful step-by-step guide to recording a presentation with narration.

The video should capture you explaining your project in 5 minutes or less. The video is designed for the viewers and judges (where appropriate) to watch you present as if you were at an in-person session.
