Be heard by being seen; effective presentations.
Your task this time is to create a self-running, very professional, presentation. You may use this opportunity to create a presentation that both displays expertise with presentation tools and is a tool to convey a message to a specific audience.
You may use any presentation tool you prefer for this task, but not all of them can do all that the task calls for. If you choose to use PowerPoint, you have all the components you need. If you choose to use something else, be sure it can do everything that is needed.
Remember, no matter what platform you use for your presentation, it will be viewed on a standard Windows 10 laptop. Don't be in for an unhappy surprise when something that works on your laptop does not work on the instructor's laptop.
If you choose the last option, tell me via email
Even though this presentation will be intended to satisfy a requirement in another class, you do need to display the requisite skills listed on the specifications
You may work alone or in teams. If you choose to work as a team, I need to hear the voices of all the team members in the slide narrations.
You may create this presentation alone or you may work in teams of your own selection. When you or your team has completed the task, you or one member of a team may store it in a single password protected directory. Each of the members of the team will place a hyperlink to it on their respective web sites (the individual storing it will have a relative link to it, the others will have absolute links to the finished task). When it's ready for me to download and grade, send me a note telling me to retrieve it from your websites.
However, as we will be seeing this presentation during the final exam period, you may instead choose to save it to the classroom desktop, from were the instructor will obtain a copy.
The saved presentation will include both the visuals and any accompanying sound files.
Use this gradesheet for guidance and I will post examples that should provide some visual guidance for the task components.
