You have recently been hired to work in the information technology field. Your new manager has asked you to write a blog post describing a technological product, practice, or process that at least one group of employees will soon implement. Your manager has approved the blog post from Task 1, and now you will create a multimedia presentation that discusses the content in the blog post.
REQUIREMENTS
Your submission must represent your original work and understanding of the course material. Most performance assessment submissions are automatically scanned through the WGU similarity checker. Students are strongly encouraged to wait for the similarity report to generate after uploading their work and then review it to ensure Academic Authenticity guidelines are met before submitting the file for evaluation. See Understanding Similarity Reports for more information.
Grammarly Note:
Professional Communication will be automatically assessed through Grammarly for Education in most performance assessments before a student submits work for evaluation. Students are strongly encouraged to review the Grammarly for Education feedback prior to submitting work for evaluation, as the overall submission will not pass without this aspect passing. See Use Grammarly for Education Effectively for more information.
Microsoft Files Note:
Write your paper in Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) unless another Microsoft product, or pdf, is specified in the task directions. Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc. All supporting documentation, such as screenshots and proof of experience, should be collected in a pdf file and submitted separately from the main file. For more information, please see Computer System and Technology Requirements.
You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.
A. Create a multimedia presentation using presentation software (e.g., PowerPoint). The presentation should cover the main points from your blog article in Task 1 and include the following components:
1. a minimum of five slides, including a title slide
2. a minimum of two visual elements (e.g., photos, charts, graphs with sources cited)
B. Create a narrated multimedia presentation recording based on the Task 1 blog post. Submit your narrated presentation as a Panopto VIEWER link. To generate this link, use Panopto or another recording software to create a video file that can be uploaded to Panopto. The recording should not be a demonstration of the technological product, but a review of the same material required in the blog post. Ensure the recording meets the following criteria:
1. is 5–7 minutes long
2. uses the slides to enhance the presentation from part A
3. demonstrates effective delivery skills (e.g., speaks clearly, audibly, and at an appropriate pace)
Note:
• The video must feature your voice presenting the multimedia presentation. When recording, disable the webcam.
• You may use Panopto to record the multimedia presentation, or you may use another software of your choice and upload the resulting video file to the D339 Panopto Dropbox. Once the video file is uploaded to Panopto, copy the “view” link for the video to the submission area for Task 2.
• For instructions on how to access and use WGU’s Panopto, refer to the “Panopto FAQs” link in the Web Links section located below the rubric.
• For the direct link and directions to login to WGU’s Panopto, refer to the “Panopto Access” link in the Web Links section located below the rubric.
• For instructions on how to submit your Panopto video, refer to the “How to Submit a Panopto Video Link for Evaluation” link in the Web Links section located below the rubric.
