Assignment 5: Online Presentation

During this semester, you have engaged in a range of discussions and techniques regarding designing web communications. Your final exam will consist of a 4-6 minute presentation in the form of your resume and projects you have completed this semester and visually designed using an HTML-based presentation with Github. Each presentation will be submitted with audio recording.

Steps to develop your online presentation

  • Write the content for your resume presentation
  • Plan your oral presentation

Step 1: Writing your project summary as a presentation

It may be helpful to write an outline before attempting to present your resume. Keep your audience in mind as you begin further developing the text. Avoid using too much complex jargon that your audience may not be able to understand. It is certainly okay to use terms such as “usability audit” but it may be useful to give a brief sentence or statement about what the term entails.

Step 2: Designing your online resume presentation
Many of you have visual images as part of your presentations to key audiences. For your final project, you will create a web-based presentation for an imagined audience of hiring managers or other institutions in Github (https://github.ncsu.edu/mperkin/ENG317_Reveal.js_Slides) and publish it to Github pages. For this project, you should use the resume website you just built and summarize your projects throughout the semester chronologically.

Step 3: Planning your oral presentation
Before recording your audio, it is helpful to prepare an outline of an oral presentation. You will need to present information located in each slide of HTML presentation, such as the resume, projects, and final conclusion/summary of your learning for the course. You should have at least 7 slides.

Submission: 
To submit the assignment, you need to either record your screen with you presenting your HTML slides while you speak or if that is not possible–you can record your audio separately while telling me “next slide” or “on slide 3,” so I can follow along. For screen recording, you have some videos for help: Zoom, Quicktime for Macs, and Bandicam is also a great option for Windows.
