Multimedia Presentation

As you know, this semester you and a classmate (or classmates) will be responsible for a 10-minute multimedia presentation.

Requirements:

• The work distribution is up to each group, though it should be somewhat equitable 
• The presentation must be approximately 10 minutes in length—everyone must present at least part of the time 
• There should be 10-12 slides, including at least one video clip (no more than 2-3 minutes in length) 
• On the day of your presentation, email your presentation (or a link) to me at dhdelao@gmail.com. 

You may utilize any presentation program you like (e.g PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote). However, please sort out any technical issues before your presentation date (our room's projection system can be found throughout campus). Groups may be docked for a lack of preparedness.

The best presentations will:

• Have an introductory slide which contextualizes the topic—very important 
• Use words economically 
• Include visually interesting illustrations—gifs are also acceptable 
• Avoid a heavy use of animation and effects 
• Have a style that complements the subject matter and strikes the appropriate tone 
• Engage the class through a conversational style, utilizing questions and/or activities 
• Embed a relevant video or audio clip (e.g. YouTube, SoundCloud)—ad blockers are time savers 
• Conclude with a slide that summarizes the topic—also very important 

This is an opportunity to be creative, so feel free to have fun with the visual design of your presentation.

Lower scoring presentations might:

• Begin without an introductory slide and/or fail to offer any context upfront 
• Be thinly researched 
• Allow visuals to overrun their content or lack a cohesive style 
• Fail to engage the class in any meaningful way—this is often achieved by reading an entire presentation 
•  Lack multimedia End without a concluding slide 

Remember, you must provide your own laptop. Also, Macs will require an Apple-specific adapter to connect to the university’s projection system. Newer model PCs with HDMI-only connections will also require special adapters.
