Designing Online Instructional Presentations
At the time this is being written (Spring 2014), there are many options for creating presentations in the online environment.

 * View at own pace
 * View all or part multiple times
 * Convenient to launch
 * Played anywhere with an internet connection
 * Usually can be viewed on any platform

Best of all, you can reach far more people with an online presentation than you can with a face to face presentation!

Creating effective, efficient and engaging presentations is an important skill which can be applied to both online and offline presentations. In this tutorial, you will explore the qualities of effective, efficient, and engaging presentations. By the end of the presentation and given a rubric, you will be able to assess the quality of a given presentation - and your ratings will match that of an expert. How will you get there?

We will walk through each category of the rubric, explain it and show how (and how not) to apply each one.
