Ways to start a new presentation

There are four main ways to start a new presentation.

If you don't need interaction with the audience

Run in terminal/command line

python -m caroline.template

If you need interaction with audience (Quiz, all-to-all Roundtable)

Run in terminal/command line

python -m caroline.template_quiz

If you are efficient with time or just feeling lazy

Start pasting all your slide materials into subfolder named for example presentation_folder. Then in the main folder run in terminal/command line

python -m caroline.folder2presentation ./presentation_folder

This will generate presentation_f2p.py that places on separate slide every single material from your presentation_folder. Recognized file types are images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif), IFrame content (.html) and .mp4 files. Files in other formats are ignored. Note that files are inserted on individual slides in alphabetical order. Therefore, if you enumerate your files like 01-filename, 02-filename... 12-filename..., you will even get a good order of slides in presentation. Run python presentation_f2p.py to generate HTML and open presentation.html then to see results!

If you want to start with modifying existing example

Run in terminal/command line

python -m caroline.example
