Creating effective business presentations/Developing business presentations/Tasks
First, think about your own communication style, including things you are particularly good at, and things you would like to work on. Were you surprised at all by any of the content in the resources, or do they make sense to you?
Reflect on your self-assessment of your own communication style.
Note: Your comment will be displayed in the course feed.
Next, prepare two brief outlines of an informative presentation of a topic of interest to you – one framed for an audience made up of a community you feel part of (for example, a group of work colleagues, a neighbourhood community, or your peers in a learning context), and the other for an audience made up of visitors from different contexts. Try to access feedback on your outline from at least one person who sees themself as being in the first audience, and one person who sees themself in the second audience. You can ask people in your personal learning network for feedback, and/or your colleagues in this course.
Each outline should be a 150-word summary of your informative presentation, that includes an attention statement, introduction, key points, and conclusion, for each of the two audience contexts. Consider what kind of information and visual aids might increase effectiveness in each situation, and explain your thinking.
Finally, in the course discussion forum, describe what you did that was the same, and what you did differently to tailor your presentation for each audience, and why.
