For this discussion, you will use the PowerPoint you are creating for the Research Paper: Idea and Development Assignment to present in your video. Therefore, you should complete the initial draft of the PowerPoint required for that assignment, though it will not be graded for content in the discussion assignment. Remember that your video must be you presenting “in person” as noted in the Discussion Assignment Instructions.
Research begins with an idea. Research is also best developed with input from others, and the dissemination of completed research requires, in most cases, a peer review process. A graduate student’s ability to present an idea, propose a way to test that idea as part of the development of research, and give and receive feedback in the process of that development is a very important skill. The ability to present information in a professional manner is a part of this. For this discussion, you will present an overview of your research idea development to this point, including the information in the PowerPoint you created to give your reader sufficient information to provide you with good peer-reviewed feedback to help you further develop your project. You will in turn do the same to help them develop theirs.
It is also good practice to be able to present information succinctly, yet thoroughly, within a prescribed time limit. Therefore, your videos must be between 3 and 5 minutes in length.
PROMPT – For this discussion, you must:
Create an initial draft of the PowerPoint required in the Research Paper: Idea and Development Assignment to use in your video with all the required information presented in a way that is beneficial to your reader/viewer.
Note: The specific content of your PowerPoint will not be graded for this discussion assignment, except that it meets the requirements of a professional presentation, includes the required sections and information, and meets the APA format requirements.
Submit a recorded video of yourself presenting the information for your project “in person”, using the PowerPoint you created (both your face and the PowerPoint must be visible).
Guidelines
Be sure to present the information in a way that reflects your knowledge of that information, and in a way that connects with the identified audience. It is important to test and review the videos you create, and proofread the written documents you provide. See the Kaltura Information below for help with creating your video.
Nearly all academic/scholarly work is peer reviewed and those reviews are often absent positive feedback. Professionals, like you, are busy and positive feedback for the only purpose of seeming nice doesn’t advance or improve the process or product. In many professional settings peer review is almost entirely seen as constructive, but that is because the peer feedback is intended to help you improve your idea. Yet it is important to also highlight positive aspects in feedback, as well as constructive criticism. Constructive feedback is best received in the context of both the positive and the areas that need improvement. Therefore, be sure to identify both, but be willing to provide constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement in your replies.
You should also be willing to receive such in your replies from other students as well. In the end, critical feedback will ultimate add value to your idea, and your response to it should make the project better. That does not mean you agree with the feedback, nor necessarily make changes to your project as a result of it. But it is something to consider openly and honestly in relation to your project, with multiple perspectives to consider. Then, use wisdom to determine what changes if any you should make to your work.
Essentially, please create a draft/script to utilize for the powerpoint
