We have two simple items on our agenda today:
1. Review the slides you posted to Blackboard. We’ll walk through what’s strong about these examples and, if applicable, how they might be improved.
2. Slideshow: Front + Back Matter. This is the last lecture for the feasibility study and it’s packed with information that will be useful to applying the finishing touches to the report.
Today’s agenda (in 009 HBC):
1. Listen and evaluate our final tech briefing. We’ll spend 10-15 minutes hearing Andrew, Rachel, and Lexi talk about social media in the workplace and another 5 completing their evaluation form. Here are their deliverables:
2. Review the feasibility briefing requirements. This week we are wrapping up instruction on the feasibility unit. Starting next week and again after Thanksgiving Break, you’ll take turns delivering 5-7 minute briefings on the status of your feasibility studies. This is a chance for you to practice planning a presentation, designing slides, and delivering a short, effective briefing. Like the Tech Briefings, these are co-evaluated by me and the class. Here is the evaluation form:
3. Schedule briefings. Your schedule is available on Google Docs.
4. Video: “Story, Imagery, & the Art of 21st Century Presentation” by Garr Reynolds at TEDxKyoto 2012
5. Handout: Some Thoughts on Delivery
6. Slideshow: Slide Design
7. Activity (if there’s time): Use Powerpoint or Keynote to design one slide for your feasibility study using some of the principles we just discussed. Bring this to class on Thursday.
Today we’ll do 4, maybe 5, things:
