Week 8 - Presentation

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

This week there were two groups to present on IP (Intellectural Property).

One of the groups being mine.

Below is a copy of the presentation





Geriambiance Presentation Review

Their presentation on Intellectual Property differed from ours quite significantly. The main focus of their presentation was to explain what intellectual property issues they were having or would have to deal with within their current project. Although they did go into some detail about what intellectual property is and the different types of intellectual property I feel as though some group members lacked own knowledge. The reason I say this is because some group members were just simply reading of a sheet of paper which suggests that they have little knowledge on the topic. 

The presentation itself lacked in quality. The presentation was done in Power Point and was not very engaging, the colours did not work well together. On top of this there was a lot of text and not many pictures at all. 

Overall it was a sound presentation on intellectual property but they did a very good job at explaining IP issues that they would have to face if they were to take on this project in the real world.

Week 7 - Presentation Preperation

PRESENTATION - COMMUNICATION

Unfortunately due to another courses requirements I was away in Canowindra for this class meaning I missed the presentation on communication.

Below is a Letter explaining and confirming my absence.



As my group is presenting on Intellectual Property next week we have to get prepared. As I have previous experience and already know a fair amount on the topic I am taking the lead at getting this presentation organised. We have organised to meet up two times over the next week where I will go through the basic of Intellectual Property with the other team members so as they can try get a better understanding of the topic.

Week 6 - Themes of collaboration

PLANNING PRESENTATION

This week the presentation was done by 3RDiConstruct and they presented on the topic of Planing. Throughout their presentation they explained in detail different strategies and techniques of planning.

The clarity of the presentation was average as there was a lot of text with only a few images to break it up and give the eyes a rest. The presentation was given using the 'prezi' tool which could have been utilised better as it is a tool that helps engage the audience, however this was somewhat not achieved to the fullest extent.
