Narrated PowerPoint Presentation

Social, Cultural, and Ethical Issues

For this assignment you will create a presentation based on a topic from your current field of study. Since we do not meet in person in a traditional classroom setting, you will need to narrate this presentation so it can be viewed electronically.

Topic:

What is your current major? Choose a social, cultural, or ethical issue related to your field of study. Chose ONE area to focus on. For example, you cannot take about ethics in healthcare, public safety, or IT in general. Pick a single issue to discuss.

Research:

Conduct a search using both internet and library database resources. You must use at least 3 sources, one of which must be from the library database. Keep track of these sources! You will need to include a reference slide at the end of your presentation.

Content:

Create a NARRATED PowerPoint presentation that contains between 12 to 18 slides. You must add your voice using the narration feature in PPT. Include the following:

• Title Slide (1 slide) – includes your name and the presentation title.
• Introduction slide (1 slide) – should be something catchy and explain why this issue is important.
• Body/Content (8-14 slides) – must be interesting, well organized, and presented clearly. Slides should not contain full sentences/paragraphs.
• Summary slide (1 slide) – may also include a way for others to get involved, help, or get more information.
• Reference slide (1 slide) – must be in APA style and be a minimum of 3 resources. When including hyperlinks in the reference list, they must be hyperlinked.

PowerPoint Elements:

Include the following PowerPoint elements:

• Apply a transition to each slide.
• Apply a single theme or design template.
• Provide at least one hyperlink to a video or useful online article.
• Do NOT use animation.
• Use at least 5 royalty free/creative commons images (clip art, photos, shapes, etc).
• Use smart art at least one time.
• Include an original chart/graph.
• Include a footer on each slide with the slide number and your last name.

Narration:

To earn full points, your presentation must be narrated. Do NOT read word for word from your slides. Slides should only contain bullets, but full sentences should be spoken! The narration audio should start automatically when you start the slideshow and should play through the entire presentation.
