Social media in-class presentations – worth 15%

Students will work in pairs to prepare an 8-minute in-class presentation on the benefits and weaknesses of a social media tool/service. The presentation should explain how the platform is being used professionally, together with examples of best use in editorial projects.

You will be required to submit your slides and also a 1-page (max) summary of your key points. The 1-pager posting deadline is 24 hours before your presentation date so that we can post it to the course blog and all students in the class can preview the key points ahead of your presentation. This is intended to allow you to move more quickly on the main points of your presentation. After both presentations have been made, both sets of presenters will come to the front of the room and be expected to facilitate a discussion based on questions from the audience.

There will be two presentations every week, starting from week 4. Continue reading Assignment: Social media presentations →
