Presentations and online pages for the last week

Presentations should be summaries of useful experiences from the course projects. The presentations can be presented live (generally by onsite team members) or by posting the presentation as a video or set of online pages. Live presentations should take about 15 minutes. Online presentations should have a similar amount of content.

The goal of the presentation is to provide other students with useful, generalizeable lessons from your experience. Ideally, I'd like to use some of the presented content as questions for the final exam.

The presentation is not formally graded, but contribution to the presentation can help your contribution score.

The DL teams should have their presentation submitted by Friday June 3 by attaching a file or posting a link in the corresponding D2L discussion thread. Alternatively, any DL team can send a representative to do a live presentation for the class on May 31. In-class teams may also post a document, but this is not required.

Contents

You may include anything you like in your presentation that is related to your projects. I recommend that you consider the following components (but you are not expected to do all of them):

• An important, perhaps surprising, finding obtained from one of your studies (5 minutes or 1 screen).
• How your findings differ from another group's findings on the same application.
• Display and discussion of your format for the usability testing report.
• A useful lesson learned from conducting any of the evaluation methods (e.g. usability test, comparison study, post-test questionnaire) (5 minutes or 1 screen). It might be one of the following types:
• What you would do differently if you were to conduct this evaluation method in the future.
• What kind of information this method produced.
• What was particularly difficult about this method.
• Situations when this method would not be useful.
• How much time this method took.

Format

There is no specific format. In-class presentations may be done as a group or one individual may represent the whole team. Presentation materials may be used (e.g. powerpoint slides, figures) but are not required. The online pages or video may be submitted using any common format (e.g. PDF, PPT, or link to video).
