PRESENTATIONS

How to put presentations online:
  1. Create a new directory for each presentation. All files related to a  given presentation will reside within  that directory. The directories MUST be structured as follows:

    2. /home/something/userid                     {your home directory}
    /home/something/userid/public_html        {your WWW directory}
    /home/something/userid/public_html/39.768  {your 39.768 directory}
    /home/something/userid/public_html/39.768/P1  {presentation 1 directory}
    /home/something/userid/public_html/39.768/P1/P1.html   {presentation 1 web page}

    Your 39.768 Course Materials page already has links which assume the presentation files are organized in this manner. Do not change these links. I will be making links to these directories in the course web pages. Also, note that Unix is case sensitive (eg. use "P1", not "p1").
     

  2. Make sure all files are world readable, and that all directories are world readable and world executable.

    3.  
  3. Test ALL hypertext links prior to doing your presentation.
