Well, slideshare was unexpectedly interesting.
Exploring Slideshare, I expected to see a number of presentations that made little sense without a presenter adding to them. In reality I was pleasantly surprised.
Sure there were slideshows that made little sense and obviously needed the talk to work. But I found a number of interesting slideshows which gave explanatory info on the cards and left me feeling like I had learned something. Indeed I had to stop myself from getting engrossed in ideas and browsing the web for more info.
I will definitely keep slideshare in mine when searching for info on work/industry/research topics. The fact that they seem to generally be created by professionals/experts in a field for education seems to mean there is a higher level of information and the slide format, allowing me to progress at my on pace and take in bitesized concepts seems to work for me better than many vodcasts even. It is particularly good as I feel I can go research something I see in one of the slides before finishing the set, without feeling I am ruining the flow.
I would also look at uploading my own presentations if I happen to feel like my information is interesting and different enough.
