The implementation of this course is flexible. It may be offered as a stand alone course, or integrated into a seminar, for example.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Participants will be able to design a presentation which has a clear aim, central organising principle, and a satisfactory introduction and conclusion.  Participants will be able to vary the organisation according to the aim and audience, choosing from, for example, problem-solution, topical, chronological, and spatial structures.   
2. Participants will be able to employ language to help guide the audience through the presentation, i.e. signposting.  Participants will be able to use language and voice to emphasize key points and make links between ideas.   
3. Participants will be able to design slides which are clear and support the content of the presentation.  Participants will be able to present their ideas in mainly pictorial form, using an assertion-evidence model of slide design.   
4. If this is included in the implementation, participants will be able to produce a well structured and titled abstract or poster which attracts audience attention.
