Project Overview
This project requires you to complete two components. First, you will create a video
presentation (screencast) of your proposal. To accompany this presentation, the second
component requires that you create a flyer complementary to the presentation.
Presentation
The presentation is intended for an audience of interested stakeholders—probably
many of the same reader-users to whom you address your proposal. You should,
therefore, consider these users’ needs, values, and attitudes, just as you did in the
proposal. The final presentation deliverable will be in the format of a screencast that
combines visual and audio.
Perhaps the best way to complete the screencast is to open a presentation application
such as PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Presentation and create your slides. Then,
using a screencast program (see below), record your delivery of the presentation. When
complete, upload your screencast to YouTube or similar free video hosting service and
submit the link through the Assignment Tool on our course Canvas site.
More specifically, please follow the criteria below when creating your presentation:
1. Follow the format of your proposal: a) introduce the issue/topic/opportunity, b)
frame the current situation, c) discuss your project plan, d) and offer a brief
conclusion, pointing toward the future.
2. Incorporate at least 2 images such as pictures, graphs, charts, tables, etc. but no
clip art. Note: do not include any images to which you do not have copyright
permission.
3. Each slide should contain fewer than 20 words (hint: list keywords or phrases
and expand through speaking.)
4. Slides should demonstrate the principles of design (C.R.A.P.)
5. Presentation must include your voiceover delivering the presentation. If using a
program that supports picture-in-picture, it’s up to you if you’d like to include your
image.
6. The presentation must be between 4-5 minutes in length. Note: Excess of 5
minutes will result in point deduction.
7. Must include a works-cited slide for any works referenced during the
presentation.
The final deliverable of this presentation must be in a screencast format—that combines
visual and audio elements. In other words, the final deliverable is not solely a set of
PowerPoint slides with text and images.
Perhaps the most accessible and free screencasting applications available are
Techsmith Jing (http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html) and Apple QuickTime (Mac users
already have this installed). Techsmith Camtasia, though not free, does offer a free trial.
And there are other free screencasting applications available, though I am less familiar
with them. To be clear, I do not expect you to pay any money to complete this project.
Find free options, freeware, or free trials, such as the ones I list above.
Once you’ve completed your screencast you can submit it in one of two ways. First, the
preferred method is that you upload your screencast to YouTube or similar free video
hosting service (such as screencast.com, for those who use Jing) and submit the link
through Canvas. The second method is to upload your screencast file to Canvas. The
following are acceptable file formats: .mov, .m4v, .mp4, .wmv. Please note, however,
that this may be the more cumbersome alternative because large file sizes are not
always supported in Canvas.
Flyer
The second component of this project is the flyer. The flyer complements the
presentation. Consider the flyer as a complementary document that captures the critical
points of your proposal in a visually appealing way. Therefore, you’ll want to include
information about the topic, presenter (you), recommendations, images, graphs, charts,
or tables, and anything else you think might appeal to an audience of interested
stakeholders. Please adhere to the following criteria when completing the flyer:
1. Must be an 8.5-inch x 11-inch document (you chose portrait or landscape
orientation)
2. Includes pertinent information from your proposal (*hint: make sure there’s a title)
3. Demonstrate principles of design (C.R.A.P.)
4. Include fewer than 25 words
5. Include at least 1 image (note: do not use images for which you do not have
permission)
The final flyer should be submitted to Canvas as a PDF.
As stated in the course syllabus this assignment is worth 100 points toward the final
grade.
Can you please write in a separate file?
