Our second presentation (4-7 minutes) develops out of our work on the Digital Project. The purpose of the presentation is not to deliver the content of the Digital Project; instead, the purpose is to present on and about the project. Along these lines, your presentation should address the following prompts:
- Start by introducing what you did for the Digital Project and what you hoped to achieve. What did you produce, and what is the main purpose of the project?
- Point to specific examples from the project. Choose 2-3 specific aspects of the project to highlight and explain them further (you are welcome to play short clips of audio or video projects here). What makes these parts of the project stand out? How do they contribute to the larger purpose of the project?
- This is not required, but you could potentially comment on the process of completing the project. This would be a good option if you learned something specific through your work on the project, either about digital work or your topic.
- Conclude by commenting on how you hope your project will contribute to the broader public’s understanding of the topic. What sort of effect do you hope your project could have? How might it be useful to people interested in this topic?
If you did an audio project, you are not required to have a visual aid, but you are welcome to include one to whatever extent it helps you present on your project. If you did a website or a video for the project, you should include a visual aid so we can see directly what you produced. You could simply display the project itself, pulling up the website/video and showing specific parts. You could also potentially create a separate visual aid using PowerPoint, Canva, etc. The visuals would still come from the project; you would just be presenting them in a different way.
