Overview
In this assignment, you are to research one of the nine colleges founded during the Colonial Era and make a presentation utilizing at least 12-slide screencast. You do not need to create an actual screencast as the most important thing is to find out the content of the screencast and not the beautification. But assume that you are creating professional 12 slide screencast [excluding the Title and References Slides] that would be appropriate to use for a professional conference or for a formal workplace presentation. The entire assignment needs to have at least 14 slides, with 2 out of the 14 slides for Title and Reference Slides.
[Note to writer: You will put everything in a Word Document but label each slide with a name and separate them in the word document by slide number like Slide 1, Slide 2, etc and put the content under each of them as if you are creating an actual screencast. But everything should be in one Word Document and not an actual screencast]
