Download Canvas Presentation WORK

I've tried viewing each module's presentation/slideshow on my Apple products (Mac, iPad, and iPhone) via the Canvas app and various web browsers but all that comes up is a black box with the the loading symbol. No matter how long I wait, nothing is ever loaded.

It's hard to diagnose this without knowing exactly what technology is being used to create the presentation. If you are a student, I'd suggest you show this to your teacher so they might be able to get your school's support to research this. If you are a teacher, what are you using to create this presentation.

Hi Ryan, Thanks for your promptness. I reached out and my instructor was told to have me download the app Articulate. After looking on the website for the app, it looks like it's for viewing HTML5 materials. I was told to download the app and when trying to view the presentation in Canvas (or if I tapped on the presentation) it would prompt me to view the content in Articulate. This has not happened no matter how long I wait, tap, or press. Any advice? It'd be great if I could access content while home and not fall behind. I've sent two messages via Canvas to report the issue with no response, someone from the CIEE staff only responded to my instructor.

I always use Safari when using Canvas and usually it works fine, however, for about a week now I have not been able to view PowerPoints/presentations while on Safari. This has never been an issue before, so I am confused. In the meantime, I have been using Google Chrome and it has worked. I think my laptop might've automatically updated itself about a week or two ago, so I suspect this has something to do with my issue, but I am not sure which settings are causing this issue. I have included screenshots of what I'm seeing in case it provides any extra information. Thank you.

When my instructors upload the powerpoint presentations, they have lecture recordings imbedded in them. I can see the little sound icon on each slide, however, I cannot get them to play. I've checked all my tech and updated everything as outlined in the course. How can I listen to the recorded lectures imbedded in the presentations in Canvas? I can't download the Powerpoint because I don't have a Microsoft license and don't intend to purchase one.

Hi @hansr946 Welcome to the Canvas Community. Thank you for posting your question. I believe you would need to first download the PowerPoint file to your computer and open it up in the Microsoft PowerPoint software in order to hear the audio that is included with it. I know you said that you don't have a Microsoft license and don't intend on purchasing one, but you might want to check with your school to see if they offer any solutions to use Office 365, for example. You might already have access to that as a student, and that may help. You also might want to contact your instructor to let him/her know that you are not able to hear the audio included with the PowerPoint presentation. Maybe your instructor would be able to provide you the audio file another way. Yet another option for you would be to download OpenOffice. It's an open-source software similar to Microsoft Office. But, I have not used it for quite some time, and I don't know what kinds of updates that have been made to it since I last used it several years ago.

So I start with an empty page and I add text at my own speed during a presentation with a mouse click. It feels like this must bei possible, but I just cannot figure out how to do it. Help would be really appreciated.

Is there any way to make a Google Slide or Powerpoint Presentation interactive within Canvas? I have presentations that were created as student activities that require the student to drag, drop, manipulative items on each slide. As far as I can tell, Canvas has made these presentations read-only. Is there any way around this?

I've been helping people improve their presentations for a good five years now. As a result, I've listened to hundreds, if not thousands, of presentations, pitches, keynotes and speeches. Over the last thirty years, I've written, ghostwritten, pitched, performed and presented a fair share of my own too. I have a process, but I've noticed that many people don't and struggle because of it.

Some people find the preparation, writing and production of their presentations easy. Others, however, need help getting started or are surprised to see how much better their presentations are when I restructure them. Then some are asked to present something and simply don't know where to start, they're overwhelmed, and the stage fright and all of the insecurities that go with it kick in.

I am convinced that I can help anyone thrive in front of an audience as long as they have the tools, process and framework in place, and so I've developed a simple canvas to help kick-start any presentation.

We all know Strategyzer's Business Model Canvas. It's helpful and great. However, we've also seen other "variations" on the BMC that aren't so useful. I've developed a format based on my personal experience and writing process and draws from the work, questions, concerns, and weaknesses of solid keynote speakers who have below-average presentations. I've tried my hardest to make something that actually works, saves time and dramatically improves presentations, and I'm calling it The Speakery Presentation Canvas.

Imagine that your presentation is a book. The synopsis is at the back of that book. It's the text that most people read before buying the book. The outline doesn't only help you hone your thinking but makes it easier to sell your talk to event organisers, employers or line managers.

The synopsis is more than just having a text you can put on a website and send to potential speaker agents, conferences or event agencies; no, the synopsis is your elevator pitch. The synopsis frames your presentation. It gives it meaning. Describing and selling your keynote externally will help you internalise the presentation. The synopsis also turns your presentation into a product: it's a keynote in a box, something understandable, and something that people can buy.

This part of the process is your opportunity to introduce a storytelling layer before anyone has even seen your talk - you can give your presentation context, place it in a moment, and put it in a once-upon-a-time. The synopsis's purpose is to spark interest in a potential audience or buyer and ignite your creativity and push you to be more ambitious.

Every story has a beginning, middle and end, and so should your presentation. The first act typically covers the status quo or the current situation of what you'll be presenting. In act two, we introduce chaos or change. This is the "something happened" part of the presentation - an event, person, decision or "thing" that altered what was happening in act one. Finally, in act three, we resolve the chaos, find answers and leave the audience with the tools to do something with the information. Give each chapter a title. Giving the chapter a title will help frame the chapter's content, how you tell the story and what kind of internal or external stories you want to use.

Who is the intended audience for your presentation? Salespeople? Young people? Boomers? Internal or External audiences? Beginners, intermediates or experts? Who do you want to present your story to, and why should they care? And don't simply write "everybody". You have a specific story you want to tell, and a particular audience will benefit from listening to it. You don't need to try and be everybody's darling, so define the audience before writing, and when you have, write your presentation accordingly. This works exceptionally well if you know who will be in the audience: pitching to a small group of investors, or a potential client or presenting to the board? Write down the names of the people who will be there and think about what they need to hear and see.

Writing a list of things the audience will take away from your presentation sounds deceptively easy, but it is both hard to do as it is critical. Therefore, you must write these down and define them before you start writing your presentation. You'll find most of the audience takeaways will be packed into the third act of your presentation.

No story is an island. Everything has a context. Whatever specific story you are trying to tell, however niche or industry-focused it may be, there will always be a similar story to be found elsewhere. Who else has experiences that could relate to the presentation? What fantastic, relevant and exciting stories can you incorporate into yours? In act one of my keynote "The Shape Of Change", I use Moa Zedong, Blockbuster and Kodak as examples of poor decision-making that looked good at the time but turned out to be cataclysmic. This was later backed up by another external story, the "inhibitors and barriers" conceptual model for business disruption by Marnix Assink. External stories are essential because they help the audience see that you're talking about real-world stuff relevant to them, their lives, jobs, careers, hopes and aspirations. You're also giving them great stories to show off with at their next dinner party, down the pub or on their next Tinder date. ff782bc1db
