Presentation Reviews

3Rdi Construct - Planning

I Thought the presentation was very comprehensive, covering all areas and aspects of Planning. The use of graphics and diagrams were a good aid in understanding concepts of planning. The content seemed to be split up equally between group members implying that there was a variety of inputs into the information used on the presentation.

At times I found the presentation a bit confusing due to the amount of content and speed in which presentation was moving. The ideas they were presenting could've been a bit more concise and clear, though with the amount of content to cover I can understand why this would have been difficult.

The use of specific examples throughout effectively supported concepts and aided in understanding how to apply concepts practically. It was encouraging to find that the group had already employed many of the concepts of planning in the development of their project and were further more able to implement more of the concepts they had learnt in their research for the presentation. Discussion at the end was useful, the group was very willing to answer any questions with comprehensive answers, offering insight into the group and how the group operates. They were also able to reflect on what they had learnt and how that would influence the future processes of the project.

Overall, though a bit dry and confusing at times, I found the presentation a very comprehensive and informative display of the many different aspects of planning, especially in relating the concepts they raised to their project and what they had learnt from the process.



Interactive Architecture - IP

Presentation was clear and concise with simple structure. The presentation was created on Prezi with clear dot points which kept the screen from being too wordy. Speakers used palm cards in conjunction with dot points to ensure concise and thorough presentation whilst allowing for connection with audience and regular eye contact. The presentation included many specific examples of real products which attract differing and varying levels of IP protection. These examples provided a comprehensive grounding to the presentation of varying ideas, making it easy to understand concepts.

Still images were used to assist in the examples allowing for greater comprehension and for creating direct comparisons between products. there were a couple of process flow charts though they were dense and difficult to read. It would have been nice to see more images that were broader and more concept based to aid in understanding IP as a process rather than to explain specific examples of IP protection.

Unfortunately the presentation did not focus on the concept of collaboration, nor were there any references to IP within the context of their project. This was a missed opportunity for the group to show how IP relates to their project, furthermore it was clear that the group had not even thought about what kinds of IP the project could benefit from or how creating this presentation would affect their project. The use of palm cards, dot points, images and audience connection aided in audience understanding. The overall presentation covered a lot of relevant content on IP, though the use of many generic examples made the presentation quite long and in some parts repetitive.



GeriAmbulance - IP

This groups presentation was very concise, direct and to the point and as a result was reasonably short. The layout of the visual presentation was very basic, with a few different headings and dot points. this meant the focus of the presentation was on the oral communication which, luckily, was engaging and well delivered. There was a simple flow chart in the presentation which helped in the understanding of obtaining appropriate IP protection, but otherwise there was no use of still images to support the understanding of IP or their project.

What stood out about this presentation compared to the previous IP presentation was the use of project specific examples. The constant referencing to the project enabled greater understanding of IP and how it relates to different industries specifically. The presentation included a breakdown of the various outputs of the project and how each of them could/would be protected individually. It was encouraging to see that the group had thought about how IP effects their project and what processes they should undertake to ensure their IP is appropriately protected. It was also good to know that they had thought about how what they were doing might be infringing on external copyright of IP and how they have established processes to avoid doing so.

Though the presentation was simple and in some areas lacking (visual stimuli) it was concise and engaging, providing comprehensive information on IP and how that relates to and effects their project.
