• A powerpoint slide show on how to use powerpoint

useful stuff & work in progress

These are various scripts and programs that I have created for people within the faculty of Engineering at the University of Leeds. They will hopefully be useful to other people - if you might be interested in using one or two, drop me a line at hannah@comp.leeds.ac.uk and I'll send you the scripts and some instructions for getting started. I might even pop over and give you a hand.

• Web based slide show powerpoint type thingy using javascript:
  
  This takes files called slide1.html, slide2.html and so on, and presents them in a frame occupying the top part of the browser window with forwards and backwards buttons in a frame at the bottom of the window.
  
  If you save the file slideshow.html, slides.css, navbar.html, and have some images called left.gif and right.gif (use mine if you want but any old left and right button will do) you can make a slide show. Each slide should be called slide1.html, slide2.html etc etc (up to 20, but that can be changed) and if it's all in the same directory it will work.
  • Tarred&gzipped version of the above
  • Zipped version of the above for windowsey types
  
  
  
• Automatic course evaluation questionnaire generator for use either with the pink card reader (under development) or on paper. This version uses Mechanical Engineering's set of questions, but the questions are read from a plain text file making it easy to adapt the script to use a different question bank.
  
  
• Marks lookup script. This script takes a plain (csv) text file featuring student IDs in column one, and marks for various courseworks in column two, three, four etc. The script searches the file for the correct SID, then displays the marks for that student, formatted in a table with coursework headings down one column and marks down the other. The coursework titles are taken from the first line of the text file. This example is setup to look at the file http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/hannah/marks.txt - some sample SIDs for you to try it out with are 960487156, 960490905 and 960527968. This script is useful in situations where there are a large number of students. It could also be useful if you wanted to make it difficult for students to be able to see other's marks - they would have to know the SID of the person they are interested in to find out the mark.
  
  
• The Audit tool (as the first thing we have to do is find out what is already being done)

External resources that could be useful
