Part I & II Audience and Topic for Educational Webinar

Part II: Educational Webinar Assignment (This assignment can be used for your EWP) FCS 3800 Family Life Sex Education – Dr. Sherwood

Webinars are an efficient, inexpensive, and popular way of communicating information when participants cannot be in the same geographical location at the same time. Webinars are synchronous, allowing for engagement in discussions among participants, or asynchronous, allowing participants to access content individually as their time allows. A webinar is not a standard presentation. For instance, webinars have very little text, but rely on media (e.g., presenter’s narration and interaction with participants, video clips, photos, graphs and charts) to transmit information. There are specific and accepted methods you can use to develop a webinar that is engaging and effective, please look at the resources within the module related to the assignment.

Technical Aspects of the Assignment: Assignments should be typed using 12 point font, papers should be double spaced with a one inch margin. APA should be used when referencing source material. I strongly recommend you look over the APA source material; a lack of comment on incorrect APA usage in another course (e.g. your last professor did not tell you that your APA was incorrect) is not always indicative of proper formatting. Technical writing (i.e. grammar, punctuation, spelling) is important and will be part of the final grade for the assignment. Your paper and graphic (infographic, meme, work cloud, concept mapping) must be completed and submitted by midnight on the date due. Submissions occur through dropboxes on d2l. Late assignments are accepted with an immediate loss of 10% (one letter grade) and an addition 10% each week until submission. Eastern Illinois University is committed to the learning process and academic integrity that is defined in the Students Conduct Code (1.1). To encourage original and authentic written work, any written assignment created in this course will be submitted for review to Turnitin on d2l and will become a searchable document with the Turnitin-protected and restricted database. Assignments should not show more than 15% material obtained from another source (excluding references and direct quotes) as per Turnitin’s originality reports. The use of originality reports are strongly recommended and are explained within the FAQ’s under “Communication” on d2l. Assignments should not show more than 25% material obtained from another source when direct quotes are considered. Assignments over 15% originality (25% when considering direct quotes) will be graded based on original material. For example – if an assignment worth 100 points contains 40% source material 40% (40 points) will automatically be lost. Loss of points will not occur for 15% or 25%.
