Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Multimedia/Feedback

This page summarises general feedback about the 2023 multimedia presentations. Detailed feedback about each individual presentation is available on its chapter talk page.

Overall

 * 1) The overall quality of presentations was reasonably good, but there was a wide range.


 * 1) A surprising number of presentations went over time. Content beyond the maximum time limit was ignored for marking purposes. This often meant 0 or reduced marks for the Conclusion.

Overview

 * 1) Overviews were often missing or too brief
 * 2) Start off by engaging audience interest (e.g., via an example)
 * 3) Display and narrate the title and sub-title (which should exactly match the title and sub-title for the book chapter)
 * 4) Provide some context about why the topic is important
 * 5) Consider presenting focus questions or at least an outline of what will be covered

Content

 * 1) Content was generally well selected
 * 2) Content typically did a reasonably good job of synthesising relevant theory
 * 3) However, presentations typically did a poor ob of synthesising relevant research
 * 4) Greater use of examples would be useful

Conclusion

 * 1) Conclusions generally did a good job of reinforcing one or more take-home messages

Audio

 * 1) Audio narration was generally quite good
 * 2) Most presentations were well-paced
 * 3) Some presentations could be improved by being more selective about what to cover and slowing down
 * 4) Most presentations were well scripted and practiced

Video

 * 1) Visual presentation was generally very good
 * 2) Most presentations did a pretty job of showing a small amount of key text per slide in large font, making it easy to read and listen at the same time
 * 3) Some presentations could have been improved by splitting content from a small number of visually busy slides into a larger number of slides each containing less visual information

Meta-data

 * 1) A moderate number of presentations used the full title and sub-title (or an abbreviated version that fits within 100 characters) as the name of the presentation
 * 2) Detailed, informative descriptions of the presentation were rare
 * 3) Most presentations provided a link to the book chapter and a link from the book chapter to the presentation
 * 4) Some excellent presentations included time code links to specific sections

Licensing

 * 1) Some presentations used copyright restricted images without permission
 * 2) Most presentations indicated a copyright license for the presentation
