Video Presentation Guidelines
When submitting a video presentation online, it is important to follow certain guidelines in order to create strong and professional work.
Choose your background: This is a professional environment. An office setting/table is appropriate. A couch or bed is not.
Look the part: Wear professional attire for the circumstance. Remember you are presenting to an academic audience.
Include visual aids: Reinforce your presentation with graphs, pictures and/or a brief power point to keep the presentation interesting and to support your findings.
Prepare in advance: Rehearse a few times before your record. Place notes attached to the computer screen – not beside it. Maintain eye contact and use appropriate gestures to keep your audience captivated.
Organize your work: Plan your presentation and structure it in a clear and logical manner. Use professional language and quote scholarly work when indicated. Make sure you cite your references if you do.
Review the rubric: It will ensure that all the required components are present in order for you to obtain the most credit for your efforts.
