Integrating Mindmaps with Slideshare: How?

The Sports Coaching Pedagogy Unit at the University of Canberra has 3 assessment items as part of the overal grade and the above mind map addresses the 2nd assessment item, the presentation which is a literature review on any topic of interest relating to sport.  It is worth 30% of the final grade.

I chose the topic of 'what motivates the motivators'.  Each branch addresses the definition of motivation and the various research literature surrounding motivation of coaches and athletes.  Its fascinating stuff!

The mindmap appears daunting on first view but its quite simple; there are 6 main branches radiating out from the central image and you follow these along to the child and sibling branches.  I created this map on the iPad using iThoughtsHD.

A requirement of assessment item 2 is that the format is uploaded and should be compatible with Slideshare.  After much head scratching and racking my brains, I haven't been able to find a way to upload the map such that a user will click on the Slideshare url, press play and have each slide open up as single topic branch along with a voice over.  I can certainly upload it and have the map display on one slide but this is not ideal.  So what CAN be done?

• Use iThoughtsHD hooked up to a HDMI compatible projector or TV which will then display the whole map on the screen.  You can then scroll around on the iPad, zoom, shrink etc and show up nicely on the large screen.  Disadvatage is that you have to be present in the room to make the presentation.
• Use the latest version of  iMindmapHD from ThinkBuzan on the iPad which I have installed.  This app has a presentation feature which allows you like iThoughtsHD to hook up the iPad and present on the screen.  However, unlike iThoughtsHD, you press play on the app and each time you tap on the screen, a branch will dispay on screen allowing you to make your presentation.  You can go back and forth as you like.  Disadvantage is that you have to be present in order to make the presentation.
• Use the Mindmanager app on the iPad (I have this as well!) but like the previous two, it has those shortcomings.  Or, use Mindmanager software on the PC or Mac, create your map and then use the export to Power Point feature which will create each branch as a powerpoint slide.  Thats pretty decent, but the software is way too expensive at US$399 for an electronic download.  So that's out.

So what is left?  I have a several options: go with the iThoughts app, display it on a large screen, scroll using the iPad, record the video clip and then afterwards do a voice over.  Or, use the iMindmapHD presentation feature, record the video clip and then do the voice over.  I could as I mentioned above, upload the map onto a single slide on Slideshare and do a 15min recording voice over explaining my literature review findings.  Or abandon the whole thing and create the power point slides and do the voice over.

I've posted a question over at the Slideshare Forums.
