Developing my Oral Presentation

Finally my Critical Review and Professional Artefact have been submitted! It is time for me to get my head into my Oral Presentation and think about;
  • How I want to present my research 
  • What main findings I want to share with my audience
  • Think about what the audience will find interesting
  • Keep the information concise and informative
Powerpoint is my chosen programme of choice to present my research. This is a programme I have worked with in the past, although quite a long time ago, so I am looking forward to having a play around with that.

The best thing for me to do now is to go through my Critical Review and any notes I have made to start to draft my presentation slides and decide what is most important to include. I have also made a few notes about tips and things to remember when creating my presentation which are really helpful I sourced these from BAPP Arts Handbooks and blogs;

  • Presentation is a celebration of what you have achieved so show off your hard work
  • It is a way to illustrate your research in a visually exciting way with concise, interesting explanations
  • Approx 10 minute presentation = no more than 1 minute per slide so between 10-15 slides
  • Approx 10 minute Q&A session where you can offer more details, clarifications and outcomes to audience
  • Include important elements from your inquiry including self-reflection
  • Can send draft to tutor for checks
  • Don't overload slides with text, keep them clean and easy to understand otherwise your audience will get bored
  • Rehearse what you are going to say and decide what it most important to communicate
  • Structure = Title page, introduction, evaluation of inquiry tools, analysis of main findings (could possibly follow structure of your critical review as a guideline)
  • Use critical review and artefact to explain
  • Could present artefact, I will physically hand my out, and explain it
  • Talk about the main outcome/benefit and what YOU have learnt as a practitioner
This gives me plenty to get started with!
