  3. 1. Create a strategy and use it to inform your structure C O N T E X T Purpose Audience Communicator Academic Presentations 11/21/11

  4. Strategy includes content, style, and structure • Content • How much literature to review? • How much theory to provide? • How much detail on methods? • How much detail on findings? • Style • Level of technical language • Appeal to general audience • Structure Academic Presentations 11/21/11

  5. Think of structure along a continuum Direct Main finding, point, or recommendation at beginning Indirect Main finding, point, or recommendation at end Academic Presentations 11/21/11

  6. 2. Answer a series of questions About your research About you

  7. Questions to be answered: the introduction About Content • What question are you trying to answer? • Why are you working on this question? About You • What kind of person are you? • Why should the audience pay attention to you? Academic Presentations 11/21/11

  8. Questions to be answered: the body About Content • How did you go about your work? • What did you find? About You • Do you know the field? • Do you understand research design? • Can you work with data? • Can you talk about ideas? Academic Presentations 11/21/11

  9. Questions to be answered:the conclusion About Content • What conclusion did you reach? • What does it mean? • How does it advance knowledge in the field? About You • Can you bring clarity out of data? • Do you understand the limitations of your work? • What are you interested in next? Academic Presentations 11/21/11

  10. 3. Respect the medium • Use signposts • Make transitions explicit • Include markers (1, 2, 3) • Tell anecdotes • Rely on repetition and redundancy • Create images Academic Presentations 11/21/11

  11. 4. Use visual aids effectively Effective slides: • Are uncluttered and readable • Maintain consistent template, fonts, etc. • Are appropriately titled • Use color strategically • Limit special effects Academic Presentations 11/21/11

  12. A C B A C B Browser “raw information” Web sites Traditional Use of the Web: For direct human usage Focus:Entertainment Programs for: Examples: Extractjustmortgage rate information Compare mortgage rates offered by multiple sources Build cumulative database of mortgage rates over time Compare cumulative rates with previously stored, alert to new highs and lows Web Wrapper and Context Mediator Technology Enhancing Analyzing Consolidating Repository Web sites Internal data bases Exception reports Processing New Use of the Web: Program intermediaries Focus: Productivity
