PPT97-14b

ppts1a2.gif (8511 bytes) In this phase, the actual presentation is sketched out. You will need to include things like;
  • Topic, Purpose, Target audience, Sources of information
  • The method to deliver the presentation will be determined by what resources you have available;
    • Using Powerpoint's viewer on a computer attached to a projector.
    • Printing slides onto overhead transparancies
    • Providing handouts to the audience and using a white board.
  • Where research is to be presented
    • The purpose will be the research question
    • The scope of the research should be mentioned. That is, Who will you be surveying?
    • The method of research may include;
      • Survey, Interviewing, etc.
  • Storyboard
    • An outline of what you want to present will also be done. In powerpoint this is largely taken care of by the AutoContent wizard.
    • What you should do once the AutoContent wizard has created the basic outline, is customize it to your topic
      • For example
        • Headings don't have "Page One" but "Printer Types", etc.
        • Where graphics will be located are identified
        • Maybe indicate transition effects
        • In a research presentation
          • Where you will place data analysis (diagrams and charts)
    • Note: At this stage you should not be producing a final presentation!. You are trying to identify what is needed to produce your presentation.
