Tips for creating a Narrated oral presentation- Last assignment

For this assignment pretend you were asked to speak to a large audience at a national conference. That is how this presentation should appear to me.

It may take several takes to get it exactly right, so be patient

1. Your presentation will consist of a title slide, 6-8 content slides, and a reference slide (APA)

2. Slides themselves have few words (more like talking points), the bulk of your presentation is oral. For example for each slide you should be able to talk for at least 1 minute. So your total presentation will be about 6 minutes to 8 minutes long.

3. Slides must be professional. Look at a webinar (Goggle them) and see how few words are on each slide and how much the presenter speaks related to each slide- This is YOUR GOAL

I am speaking at this conference- here is my title slide

A professional presentation is not a series of slides that the speaker reads to the audience.

In your course website you have access to a program called Kaltura, it is not as intuitive as I might like, but with some practice you can master it- but start early, as there are NO late assignments accepted for this assignment. Pay special attention to the directions, as our server for blackboard cannot handle extremely large files.

Things Remember

· Tittle slide is needed (it does not count as one of your 6-8 slides and you will need a reference slide (APA), it also is not one of the 6-8 slides

· The title slide MUST include your presentation title, your name, and credentials

· The first slide is your purpose slide, it tells the listener the purpose of this presentation and what I can expect you to talk about

· Practice so you sound like you know your material, avoid talking in a monotone

· Make eye contact with your camera (this takes practice)

· Avoid silly cartoons or loud backgrounds, also avoid the total absence of a background, Walden actually has a slide template available to students, so you may use it if you like

· Keep the font size the same from slide to slide, you will need to standardize this at the end

Examples

Note there are only 4 bullet points and few words

Never do this and then proceed to read the slide to your audience- Not Good

Be careful with color-

Do not go overboard with your creativity

This is a bad graph

But this is a good one

This is another BAD one

Good luck- Dr. S
