Where can I see examples of what other NMSU Faculty have done using Mediasite?
You can find many different types of mediasite examples at http://mediasite-server.nmsu.edu/.
Does Mediasite allow you to record audio-only with PowerPoint slides?
It is possible, but you need to set that up at the start of your recording session.
What can I do to prepare for a Mediasite session?
Preparation varies for individuals, but it is a good idea to practice before recording and to bring an outline or script to the Mediasite session. Also, the batteries on the microphone tend to run down easily so you might want to bring a couple of AA batteries to the session.
