¡IT 100 Presentation Guidelines and
Rubric
¡Cloud computing is an example of a trending and
innovative technology. Conduct an Internet search and find at least three
credible, recent (published or created within the past two years) sources of
information on cloud computing.
¡In a professional career, one may be called upon to
conduct research and deliver findings in professional settings. No matter how
extensive the research or accurate the conclusions, a weak presentation can
undermine an argument. A presentation is a tool to assist in making an
argument. When creating presentations, students develop skills in researching
an issue, synthesizing the information, organizing data logically, and
presenting findings in an effective manner.
¡Principles of an Effective Presentation:
¡· You may utilize a
product such as Microsoft’s PowerPoint or Google Presentation to create your
presentations.
¡· There are various
template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. However,
first consider your presentation from the perspective of your audience prior to
selecting a specific style. Distracting backgrounds, large blocks of text, all
uppercase fonts, elaborate font styles, grammatical errors, and misspellings
are distracting. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and sub-points
in order to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the
focus.
¡· Each slide should
include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual.
Your presentation is not a means of presenting a short paper. In an actual
presentation, you would not “read” from your slides but rather use them as
prompts.
¡· Any notes or
narration you would use in delivering this presentation to a group should be
listed in the “notes” section of the slide.
¡· References should be
listed at the bottom of the slide in slightly smaller text.
¡· Use clip art,
AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm
your content.
¡· Be mindful of the
intended audience and seek to assess the presentation’s effectiveness by
gauging audience comprehension (when possible).
