• Questions + Answers • Informations • Post added information by email • Student to student discussion


PRESENTATION - PERFORMANCE

• Main issues hindering performance • Slow presentation, everybody understands • Never finished presentation • No pre-moderating of repeated/dumb

questions • Broadcast issue: not able to

hear/understand • Ambiguous reference – „go back x slide”


PRESENTATION - GRADING

• Main issues of fair grading

• Students never picked due to lack of time

• Improper contributions never affect grading

• Nonverbal contributions are contributions!

• Contributions are not properly recorded and/or graded by instructor


PRESENTATION – VALUE LOSS EXAMPLE IN PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL PRESENTATION TIME • Time loss of invaluable or repeated

questions: ~3%+* • Non recorded additional (professional student)

contribution: ~3%+* • Non broadcasted contribution by nonverbal

students: ~3%* • Non recorded additional and valuable answers by

the instructor: ~3%* • *(Values are empirical, 2% equals to 3min @ 150 min

active time per session)


PRESENTATION – TOTALS PERCEIVED BY A CEU STUDENT

• Total loss in % of presentation ~ 20%* • A 15.000 EUR eMBA (could) perceives it as a loss of 3.000

• Same applies to the institute proportional of the projected cost per presentation

• This value can be retained, added, communicated and traded


IDENTIFIED TASKS • Add message queuing and re-broadcast methods

• Per slide or per content unit

• Preserve contributions, questions and answers

• Post-contributions (e.g. graded for n more days)

• Add method for students to boost/slower the speed of presentation (time management, instant feedback)

• Add moderator role to pre/post filter queued questions

• Grade the valuable contributions (for student rating)

• Highlight the best contribution threads (knowledge base building)


NETWORK • Each presentation is made multiple times at multiple institutions

• Share the best contributions for the same but different sessions of a presentation

• Let students connect with each other

• Global standardized ratings for

• Presentation

• Presenter

• Course

• Institue

• Platform to compare and enchance presentations, instructors and to boost contribution rate from students

• Outside viewers can join, in case of audio/video stream enabled (e.g. UStream.tv)


EXAMPLES

1. Presenters device popping up messages

2. Comments view

3. Browsing and dashboard

4. Browsing and analyitics







CONCLUSION

1. Added value retained

2. Time optimized

3. Objective ratings introduced

4. Global standards set

5. Constant correction and feedback for the presenter

6. Share knowledge base between selected institutions

7. Boosts the evolution of the {presentation}/{presenter}/{course}/{school}/{global set}
