Part 1: The reading "Structure of Power Point Presentations" presents the power points as the center of communication media and provides some design guidelines on creating an organized and effective presentation. It analyzes Power Points for both a general audience and a professional audience. One of Doumont's guidelines that I follow in almost all of my presentations are including as little text as possible and having relevant visual evidences for them. Some other guidelines that we can use in the final presentation for this class is adapting to the audience and maximizing relevant redundancy. In the presentation of this class in particular, other students might not know anything about the project that we are doing. It is critical not to assume that they are knowledgeable about it. Repeating the ideas will help the audience pay more attention, understand the concept more, and moreover, understand its relevancy. In the section of Iversion's presentation, the paper displays two visuals of the same idea in a power point slide form. One can be interpreted as easy to understand, and maybe even just for the general audience. The use of arrows to indicate the point of focus can make it easier for the general audience to grasp the information quickly. The second visualization might be for a professional audience. The use of graphs and technical terms might not be appealing to the general public.
Part 2:
- The presentation will be broken down into 4 parts: Background (problem statement revisited), Live demo, How the final deliverable work, and our reflection. Katie will be presenting the Background section, Charlie and Dale will be presenting the Live demo of the application, I will be explaining the steps the download the application, and Hannah will do the reflection section.
- I will cover the "How to Download the application" section by providing a step by step guide to it.
- The device will be connected so that the whole class can view how to access the final deliverable.
- Android application development procedure.
