--- tags: course support --- # EXPOS20 Reading Museums 11/30 10:30-11:45am + 12:00-1:15pm Preceptor: Christina Becker Enrollment: 14, 14 ## Original ask > For the final Unit 3 capstone project, my students have to participate in an academic Zoom conference on museum studies and give oral and visual presentations on their Unit 2 research topics. In order to do so, they will have to adapt and select judiciously elements from their Unit 2 research paper to fit the scope of a brief but compelling 10-15 min presentation. **There is also a visual component to their oral presentations: they should be able to use slides in a compelling way (e.g. pithy epigraphs; captions and/or bullet points to introduce central points of argument (as needed); visual evidence in the form of clear attractive images or interactive virtual tours for their close readings of museum spaces).** Tom had mentioned that you would be a great resource on the visual component of this assignment. While I have an E-40 preceptor coming in to give some expert advice on public skills in general, I was wondering if you (or someone on your team) could possibly guide us in terms of the students’ effective use of Zoom for their oral presentations (e.g. the balance between showing slide images via the ShareScreen function and speaking to the camera without images; criteria for how to create a compelling online presentation through the use of visuals). * Students will be presenting to an academic audience (with an expectation that they will still define any jargon) * Presentations are 10 minutes with 5 min of Q&A ## Plan * Visual presentation strategies * The images in their slides as a framework for their arguments (and a memory aid for them!). * Offer images that are appropriate for the argument they are presenting. * Tools * PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides, Canva, Prezi * Photo editing * Talk about how you can alter your photos to make them work better in your presentation. (Edit screenshots, etc.) Christina will send us the final prompt today. ## Setup + Media *
