This
is NOT a technical presentation, but viewers learn about the technology, how it
is used in business, and how it explains your paper in a VT PowerPoint
presentation.
The
VT presentation should be user-friendly, engaging, and the user should want to
stay at your presentation to learn about your technology. It should be
consistent – that is, the fonts and appearance look the same; videos embedded
and any supplemental material should be thoroughly tested.
You
will make an 10 slide presentation on the topic you have written about in
your midterm paper. This final
presentation will be imported into VoiceThread.
All of the instructions will be explained as the project moves along.
Once
in VoiceThread, you will make your voice or video comment to add to the
presentation. Provide slide notes that I will record. You will take
us from the start of the presentation to the end, describing your slides (not
just reading from them!).
Your
presentation will introduce on the 1st slide; your name and the topic.
Subsequent slides will explain how your topic is used in business and have
examples to show this. You will also include a slide of your outside research
(interview), so we can all learn from it.
Your
final VT presentation should include:
þ Well-structured PowerPoint
slides describing your midterm topic.
þ The 1st slide
should introduce your name and the topic you will discuss.
þ The entire presentation
should appear as one production taking us from start to finish.
þ Your outside interview, so
we can all learn from your findings! Please put a heading on this slide(s)
titled “Outside Research.” Only one slide should be included
on this topic. Please make sure this slide is clear.
þ One embedded YouTube
video (no longer than one-two minute maximum – people get distracted if
it’s too long) and any other media in your presentations make it enjoyable.
þ One informative, clear and
legible chart (bar, column, line, etc.) helps support the information presented.
Questions
to ask yourself:
þ Will someone walking away
from your VT presentation find it interesting and informative and recommend it
to others?
þ Do the videos work and are
clear to watch and listen to?
þ Did you include a chart
and explain it?
þ Are the slides clear and
consistent with font types, sizes, and backgrounds?
