1. LEARNING AND COMMUNICATING ONLINE!
Presenting your ideas, or yourself, is an important skill in
professional environments. In fact, it is one of the key 'soft
skills' that many 21st century employers seek in prospective
employees at all levels. Indeed, the capacity to also reflect on
your learning and develop is also a valued 21st century
professional soft skill.
This assignment will set you up for success in future units as
well as when you make the leap into your new career. The task
involves presentation of self as well as reflection on self. For
this presentation, you will be required to choose between
developing either a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow or a
scripted video to be uploaded to an unlisted YouTube playlist.
No matter what your familiarity with PowerPoint or video
recording, editing and uploading platforms, the following things
will set you up for success:
· follow the instructions given in this document
· read the criteria and rubric carefully
· complete the activities associated with this task
· seek feedback from your eLA and fellow students
· look for examples of great presentations that you can borrow
ideas from.
Please note: if you choose the PowerPoint option, you are not
required to do an oral presentation. Instead, you will present a
creative, visually appealing PowerPoint presentation for
submission via Turnitin. Nevertheless, as with the uploaded,
scripted video option, this is your chance to present information
about yourself in an engaging and visually interesting way
while conveying your message clearly and effectively.
