presentation medium


Explanation:
Hi! I think this is referring to a presentation medium, or the medium used to present data (on paper, CD, electronic file, etc.)

Example sentence(s):
  • The presentation medium is the medium into which the stored document, which has been distributed over the distribution medium, is converted to facilitate viewing or reading by the end user.

neutral  cc in nyc: I think it's referring to the "long form" of the presentation (content) rather than to the medium

neutral  Michel F. Morin: Cela dépend de la manière dont est compris le mot "présentation", et je ne comprends pas la question comme vous. IMHO, il s'agit d'une "présentation" audiovisuelle, de type PPT, destinée à briefer le comité de pilotage. D'où ma proposition !

computer aided presentation OR Files containing computer aided presentation


Explanation:
Une présentation assistée par ordinateur, c'est aussi, concrètement, le diaporama lui-même, c'est-à-dire une succession de diapositives contenant le texte, les images, les animations de texte et d'images, les sons et les vidéos nécessaires à l'illustration d'une conférence, d'un cours ou d'un exposé.
La présentation assistée par ordinateur a pour rôle la communication par le graphique. Elle répond aux besoins des entreprises ou des organismes qui utilisent des présentations plus recherchées pour véhiculer des idées, des images ou de l'information.
Les logiciels de PréAO permettent la production rapide de rapports, de diapositives ou de transparents; certains intègrent, entre autres, des fonctions d'animation ou des séquences sonores. Ils servent à concevoir des documents techniques (organigrammes, schémas, etc.) ou à faire des comptes rendus d'activités par une visualisation graphique des informations.

PowerPoint (Microsoft) et Freelance Graphics (Lotus) sont des exemples de logiciels de PréAO. Lorsque l'on désire mentionner le nom du logiciel utilisé (nom commercial intraduisible), on dira, par exemple, qu'il s'agit d'une présentation PowerPoint, d'une présentation avec PowerPoint, d'une présentation avec le logiciel PowerPoint ou d'une présentation avec le logiciel de PréAO PowerPoint.
Les termes présentatique et présentique sont des mots-valises formés à partir des mots présentation et informatique.

submit your mode preference


Explanation:
Hello,

I wish I had a bit more context. I'm not sure if they're talking about the actual project being presented in some mode/format, or the mode of preference for presenting your project, etc (up to candidate). If I had to guess, I'd say it's the latter.

Also, I don't think "présentation" needs to be translated in English here, as it'd be clearly implied.


– You will be asked to submit your mode preference at the time of submission (oral, poster, poster discussion, or no preference). IADR makhttp://www.iadr.org/files/public/11IAAbstractCall.pdfes ...


Make sure that your translation reads like natural English.


I hope this helps.
