Presentations
Below are two videos for you to watch and assess the presentations. Think about the following questions on points we have discussed in this module:
Watch the first video and note down your answers to the questions above and any other observations you might have.
Now watch this second video and note down your answers to the questions above and any other observations you might have. Think about any differences you observe between the two videos.
There are a few big differences between these two presentations, but perhaps the most striking difference is how the two presenters managed their presentations.
In the first video we saw how technology failed the presenter. Although the speaker tried to continue without their prompt, the speaker's nerves and embarrassment made them leave the stage without completing their presentation. Situations like this can easily be avoided with enough planning and preparation:
In the second video we saw a very well-prepared and practiced presentation. How do we know?
If you have delivered a presentation in the past, reflect on what went well and what was less successful in your delivery. How could you improve it for next time with what you know now? Use your experiences, what you have learned in this module and reflections on the exercises above to develop and improve your presentation skills.
